How does this Kickstarter thingy actually work? Darkmod can get benefit of it? If not why so many Kickstarter threads going on here lately?

 

End of questions...

[stumpy]

its just seems to be a way of advertising the games that need money to get going, but not actually asking for help from people who could help, just wonder if its a money making scam.

...just wonder if its a money making scam.

 

Kickstarter itself isn't... But there have already been a couple kickstarters that were scam projects. But they were uncovered in time as to not hurt anyone.

 

I personally think it's a good idea, but I can't help but notice an increasing trend towards it that will inevitably lead to its doom.

Than enjoy the ride as long as it goes well.

I always wonder if you work for kickstarter, cos all you seem to do is promote kickstarter projects on all the english speaking games forums on the internet. Well the forums where there's an off topic forum.

What has my promotion to do with kickstarter? It is about getting attention for the promoted games not getting attention for a platform (kickstarter) which is used to raise funds for the said games. Do you even know what it is all about with kickstarter?

I only promoted 3 projects so far. Ground Branch has been my dream project for the years that it is in development (it is to original Ghost Recon like Dark Mod to original Thief) and I've been trying to promote it on all forums that I am registered at.

Aside this I promoted a point and click game which I played a demo of and liked very much (they made a first level, but need the money that they want to raise from the kickstarter to complete the whole game). This game was successfully funded already.

The next one is a game that is going to fail in the next hours, but they say they will continue, only much slower. They also have a demo (based on UDK), which I didn't play yet.

I mentioned a space flight game also, which leans to the old freespace games, but I did not pledge for it, nor do I follow, I just mentioned it to other who might be intersted. They also have a demo with 2 levels which I played. They likely are going to be successful with their kickstarter, but that game didn't interest me that much.

 

All these are independant developers, who make their games without funds, for the love of good games and use kickstarter to raise funds so they can work faster and make the game better (because they work part time for this, or quit job temporarily).

 

 

You really should get your damn facts straight.
