@Hicks233 like ANY investment it is a risk a person take doesnt matter if its in the stock market, kickstarter, or even giving money to a 10 year wanting to open up a lemonade stand. a risk is a risk, and you will have to bite the bullet no matter how good or bad the company does in then end. as a person to give money in kickstarter you should well know the risk that there will be when giving money to a project, you should well know from th GET GO that the project will be a hit or it can flop, one thing tho Gamespot does not talk about the MANY projects that used KickStarter and never reach there goal. if a project does not reach the set amount goal they are asking the money is refunded to the people who donated to the project. that is why a lot of the teams asking for money, post concept art, videos and what not.
I for one my team will use Kickstarter as a way to get funding to pay a lot of the programs we need ( can not release anything for sale with student versions of the software, and Autodesk programs are not that cheap). but right now we are making a demo level that wea re trying to finish by the end of summer and use that to showcase our project and we will have a forum that people can go to and give us feed back and we will listen to them.
one thing you have to keep in mind what if they game turns out the way the people thought it was going to be. well if they make a game and it flops after it got made and used Kickstarter money to fund it. not only they will lose there fan base but also there is a high chance that if they try to use kicksater again or Indiegogo pretty sure there name will be shot that no one will donate any money. that is why it is important to work with the fans and ask them what they like, what works and what does not.
in the end kickstarter is another word for a charity, and it is up to the person them self to give them money or not, and should know that giving money to a company for a product will mean that there is a high risk that they can lose the money in a way that the game flops or it is a game they didnt expect for it to be.
oh by the way people Kickstarter i think is own by Amazon.com
this is lame i like the old one. or at least let the user edit, and dislike comment, and whats with the snitching? snitch on people who likes your comment
looks really good. the music and the way it looks gives me the creep even tho its a 8 bit game. seems like it does a better job giving you a uneasy feel.
