Okay I've been backing a lot of Kickstarter projects recently, mostly at the print and play (pnp) levels. A lot of them have succeeded such as Tiny Epic Galaxies (which I actually backed the Deluxe game which also gives me the pnp files), Lost In The Woods and Brains!...It Will Not Die! (which is the third time being on Kickstarter and had only a $1 goal).
I've also pledged on a few that didn't succeed, such as Brains! (Back From The Dead!) and Robots Love Ice Cream. The one thing I do enjoy about Kickstarter (and don't get me wrong, I want the projects I back, or any project really, to succeed) is it's an 'all or nothing' meaning if a project doesn't get its funding (or at least its goal), backers aren't out the dough they've pledged.
The latest project I'm baking is Cannibal Squares, a survival horror game where you are on a deserted island trying to get back home while trying to survive the cannibal attacks at night. Right now as I'm writing this it has $1,282 and has a goal of $10,000 with 22 days remaining. I hope it makes it, as it sounds interesting, as the cannibal aspect adds a monkey wrench in the game.
My only complaint is backers want potential goodies (stretch goals) and right now, this project has none. I've seen projects fail because of this. I just wish this wish this was partially thought out before putting the game on Kickstarter, as it would attract a lot more potential backers. Like I said I hope it makes it.
