If it's really a CoD fangame, they can't put it on Kickstarter.
Far as I can tell from what they said, it's no longer a CoD fangame so what would the issue be?
I was thinking, how big a deal is to launch in kickstarter instead of some other platform?
I mean, does anyone actually find the project through that site?
Most of the visitors seem to come from direct links to a certain project
Does launching in kickstarter give you any advantages?
Can we please make a separate "Begging For Money" sub-forum, and stop cluttering the main forum with this shit?

saw this the other day; I think its neat but the fact its for st louis means; well, only people from the area will really get to experience it. Going to bomb out.
That said; this is the sort of shit; you go to the bank with a business plan with. Not Kickstarter.
guys, I have a solution for you - if you are not interested in a thread, don't open it.
Some projects need attention to get funded, some need attention because they are hilarious.
That's kind of the purpose of this topic though. I mean, I can see something like Wasteland 2 getting it's own thread because it would completely derail the discussion of other kickstarters since it gets so much attention.
I actually think the OP has gotten kind of bloated with so many projects, a lot of them getting little to no attention both here and on kickstarter. I think it would work best as a highlight/best of thread with only the most interesting and high-potential ones in the OP and anything else can come and go in the course of general discussion. Or divide the list in the OP between highlights with all the kickstarters getting lots of attention and money, and then "others."
Then again, I guess it is a "list of gaming kickstarters" so maybe I just have the wrong idea.
Meh, it's worth a shot before you take out a loan. You have to pay the loan back.
KS isn't free money.

So other than giving people what they paid for it's free money?No, you have to give the people their rewards but other than that it is.
Sorry guys, was busy the whole of last week. Updated OP with all project listed, give a shout if I missed anything.

You forgot this one: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486250632/republique-by-camouflaj-logan
And Police Warfare: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/policewarfare/police-warfare
Is this the correct thread to mention upcoming Kickstarters?

Grim Dawn, from the creators of Titan Quest. Still under review from Kickstarter management though, but it should go live soon.
Personally, it's a lot better than having to set up a physical fundraiser. Yes, it's still work. You need to manage it like a political campaign. You can't just let it go on by, which was Takedown's problem. But you get to talk to EVERYONE as oppose to one at a time. EVERYONE sees your idea, can ask questions.
People are paying money to open a bar and what they get is a pdf and a party at the bar. If you think that would cost $68,000, you're delusional.So other than giving people what they paid for it's free money?
Grim Dawn one is broken, weird since it worked a little while ago.
got a link? can't seem to find it on kickstarter.
I couldn't either. It hadn't started yet when I looked at it before, said it was still being reviewed. I can't imagine it would have been turned down though?
I disabled the preview link for a bit so that I can work on the rewards without people becoming confused as I save the partial progress. Will be back up in a few hours.
Also, I'll include a signed poster. Heh, just didn't really occur to me that anyone would want that since I'm not exactly a legendary game designer or anything.
Curious to see what all the Grim Dawn rewards will be. I was going to buy it, anyway, when it's finally released but I'd love some cool shit to go with it.
So other than giving people what they paid for it's free money?
If you are awesome enough to donate 200$ to the cause I will buy a Madcatz Tournament Edition arcade stick for the console of your choice, deck it out with custom art from EXPO Fighter, and mail it to you! Of course you will also get access to the early BETA and the voice clip perk. Plus I will make sure to shout you out every time I live stream because you are so awesome.
I didn't pay a lot of attention, and since they're still being adjusted these might not be accurate, but the game was at $18 for a digital DRM-free version (didn't see anything about a Steam option). $100 for a physical deluxe of the game. I think $36 got you the soundtrack download along with the game. There was another tier between the game+OST and the physical copy of the game, but I don't remember what it was, or what the rewards beyond $100 were.
I can't remember for sure but from the quick look at the rewards I got, I think there was. It was part of a pretty expensive tier though I think.Not bad. Hope there's a hard cover art book somewhere.

Looks like it
Some people aren't very smart about it though

It'd probably cost about 200 to buy and ship a TE stick.
That doesn't make sense. If they did that, funds would be in a constant state of flux and the people would never be able to budget for it.It would be good if there was a way for backers to increase (but not decrease) their donations after the deadline, as the project progressed. I can't see how it would actually work, as it would probably result in lots of people paying the lowest tier and then just upping their pledge later in the project. But sometimes a project might make progress or add a feature where people think it's worthy of additional donations. As I said though, as good as it would be to be able to donate after the deadline, I can't imagine how it would work well.
I believe you missed Gravitaz.
OK but what about using some other platform?
Or rolling your own? what would be the difference? what do I get from them than I can't get with a website with crowdfunding plugins and tools?
Their TOS says clearly that its up to devs to find backers
Right now, I think the whole point of Kickstarter is cool.
But I am worried about the future. I can think that maybe some big publishers could use this to fund projects of them, which they think could be too risky.
If its funded, game developed and it sells shit, its okay, since they did not invest their money in it.
If its funded, game developed and it sells like hot okay, its a win-win situation for the publisher.
They did not invest in it themselves (financially) and they sell to new customers.
Right now it is used for some "Indie"-titles or Games, that would never see the light of day, but what could happen in the future?
"Hey Fans! You want some new downloadable Content. Donate for it on kickstarter!"
The other point is, there is no guarantee that the Game will be great.
Just a question. Do the developers on Kickstarter need to make something like a diary?
Like people pledge 500.000$ on the Game and the developer has to make some list like "100.000$ salary, 100.000$ Engine, etc."?

kinda put off by the fact, that I do not even know how some Games in the end will be.
