EDIT:

After the campaing start I received a lot of suggestions of how to improve it, and these suggestions are valid, veery valid, for now the campaing is suspended.

your project looks interesting, but your indiegogo campaign needs a lot more work.


I think this might help you get better results.

Hey, thanks a lot madjr!

Hey, thanks a lot madjr!

no problem.

Just remember that while campaigns are not easy at first, they are not so hard to master after a while

Not to be insulting, but your goal of generating $100,000 in pledges when you have absolutely no track record and can't even state what the funds will be used for is unrealistic. Especially when the minimum that can be pledged is $25, for a game which you intend to release for free.

This project is interesting and it definitely has a lot of more going on compared to a lot of others I've seen that got funded. Good luck!

I totally agree with you. Those were the first mistakes that popped into my eyes when I looked at the campaign. I studied a lot regarding crowd funding and I still haven't rushed into it.

25$ is not the minimum, it is just the minimum for a perk. The game will not be released for free, only if the fund goal is met(it do not need to be exactly $100,000, I asked support to lower the amount this morning). Isn't simply and plain using the money to survive, and thus making the base game, expansions and future projects not enough? I do not fixed I need 100,000, otherwise I would had marked the funding style to give the financial contributions back if I didn't reached it.

Thanks for you comment.

EDIT:

Taking in account what I said, what amount do you suggest? I'm open to good suggestions, in fact, I need them. Living and Learning I say, this is my first attempt.

EDIT2:

I may have written something wrong to people think it would be a free and opensource project by default(I shall look into it), thought on indiegogo the minimum amount appear at the side of the "Contribute now button", my project never had that limit.

I saw the update to your campaign , it is better than before, but there are still a few issues.

I would say start small with your goal, since it's a "psychological and attention grabbing" war out there. And usually People are afraid of jumping in if they see that the goal has little chance to be met, so big goals can scare off many.

Also once you get just one successful campaign and build your audience (essential!), you can create new ones after a while that highly likely to be successful too (so don't place all your eggs in one basket).

Try to study as many campaigns as possible, specially indie ones with few developers which might be similar to yours.

Don't rush and don't worry, since Rome wasnt built in a day

Just keep reading and studying the links I posted earlier.

Now, one important thing I noticed was the video. While I really like the art style, I could not understand almost anything that was going on (apart from customizing the character).

Unfortunately the Attention span of people today is incredibly small:

Anyway is your first campaign and you have a great attitude to keep learning and improving, keep it up!

Thanks a lot madjr, sometimes just reading tutorials isn't enough(I may somehow think I was not doing something wrong), and I need direct user feedback.

I read some of your links on your last post already, and a couple of others, tought I was with headache, so I had to left others tutorials to read today, and some I will have to read tomorrow.

EDIT: Luckly my game will not go site searchable unless it receive 10 dollars until 1 week after launch, I have some time to setup some things.
