I can sort of see the benefits but what is wrong with the old make a game, sell a game use normal promotions route?

Seems like kickstarter is some how taking over. That maybe just my perception.

Initial investment for a card game isn't cheap from what I understand. Kickstarter is a way to remove much of the risk by financing your initial print run off impulse-buys from 'investors' instead of requiring getting a traditional investor that requires tons of due-diligence.

My only real concern is the percentage of Kickstarter projects that are funded but do not deliver. Any information on what this number is?

Whats the of a card game if they stick together?

Soda Pop, you owe us a miniatures game.

As to the anime CC BS, thanks, but wheres the ultraviolence and red red groovie?


Want to interest me in this topic- make a miniatires/ RPG game, and then lets see what you have to say.

CC, seriously. WTF.

HAH my wife will love this - Definitely gonna donate to this one.

I'm sorry, CC?

Come on now - you're better than that!

And even if it doesn't make sense, we can see what you were aiming for...

I love silly card type games. You can play them with limited room and usually only need a few players. I find the concept hilarious and definitely want to check it out.

Used ? :p

One of the artists has whipped up some extra promo art:

How many people are going to order this game to "get off on"?

I should have thought there were enough free dirty pictures on the internet not to need to buy "French" postcards.

With regards to the Kickstarter worries...

The concept behind Kickstarter is to facilitate creative projects to get funding which would struggle by conventional methods.

I have a slight problem with businesses using it to get what are effectively pre-orders for a proposed new product. That said, if the majority of game projects get done, it will be a good way of getting more niche products on to the market.

I have no idea about the failure rate.

I suspect it will start to climb once scam artists get into the system and that will spoil Kickstarter for the honest people.

As so often, Penny Arcade have nailed this with a cartoon.



That said, I have no doubt that Soda Pop and Steve Jackson Games will get their projects out of the door.

Not sure if want....

I'm just surprised that Soda Pop need kickstarter at all. Next they'll be asking us to finance the second print run of SDE.

Okay, the Penny Arcade strip is just classic

ummmmm.....I'm not gonna lie.....I kind of want this :3

bonus art ≠ sexy.

bonus points for the octopus/cthulhu garter though

Yea this concerns me. I'm much more worried about companies using (or abusing) kickstarter for their own goals compared to scammers.

I can't believe this is approaching 200 backers and $10K raised after just being put up, right?

Hmmmm..... definitely not one I'll be supporting, with all the other good choices out there... I'm actually pretty surprised that it's doing this well.

(I say this, despite being a big fan of Super Dungeon Explore)

On risky new directions I can kinda see the point. I’m sure there have been many times when everyone has expressed enthusiasm over something, the company has gone and made it, and then most of those people don’t actually buy it, and this sort of system can help avoid that. So even for something like this card game (and Car Wars from the Ogre thread) I can see a reason to use kickstarter – it guarantees both the funds to make the game as well as giving them sales ahead of time, and stops the company wasting any money on empty enthusiasm.

It just becomes a problem when every product becomes a kickstarter thing.

I fail to see how Kickstarter is 'bad' at all.

You basically support/pre-order the game, Company X has an actual fund to work from, and you most likely get some cool bonus stuff for doing so.

If you don't support them via Kickstarter, you buy the game/thing later, when it hits the shelves.

Right?

If this sort of thing keeps up, I could imagine Kickstarter breaking projects out into different tiers. Say something like 'Kickstarter classic' vs. 'Kickstarter Commercial Pre-orders'.

Not a fan of the Soda Pop Miniatures artwork, but if you are, I wish you luck.

Yah, I totally don't want this...

This one's really not for me at all .. but, I wish em the bestest of luck I'm sure they'll have no problem blowing their goal outta the water

I'm.....

I'm......


Not sure what to make of this.....

Because that game already exists!

Specifically, it's called "Hentacle" and is a very popular game with 3 expansions, and a 2.0 version called Cthentacle featuring Cthulu:

This is basically a much more tame version of that, without the nudity, and with much better artwork.

Touche!

Perhaps if they put some work into meeting demand for SDE they'd have some of that money? Just sayin'.

Don't know KK...are you having a sudden guilty conscience?

This would fail my "I'm not afraid to leave this up on my desktop" test. All school girl being invaded by tentacle monsters who wants to capture sexy essence---too strange for me. Best of luck to them (I guess..).

I'm not sure.....

What do you guys think, College girls love it? Hate it? Probably won't Kickstart, but might buy....

Oh cool. A CCG for pervs. What a load of crap. Its pretty easy to see what market this game caters too.

Fan Service to the max.....
