Looking at the most successful video games KS campaigns during Q1 2025. A thread. Kicking it off with Stars Reach - @raphkoster.bsky.social new sandbox MMO. It raised $770k from 5.5k backers. Like often with MMOs, the average pledge is quite high ($140). www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

Hey! Here is an illustration for a Rat Token in the upcoming Magic: the Gathering playmats campaign on Kickstarter. The special effects were done with salt poured on top of the ink (with a lot of water)! 🐀 What do you think, are they not adorable? The Coming Soon page here: bit.ly/43XkrVU

Next week, I will give a talk about video games and crowdfunding at @officialgdc.bsky.social Here is a preview of the data part of the talk (the rest is more specifically about learning from successful campaigns). Session Link: schedule.gdconf.com/session/vide...

In 2022, I worked with Aleksi Briclot on a Kickstarter campaign for Magic Playmats with his art. Seems like we might be doing another campaign this year (playmats, and token, like in 2022)... and he shared this video of one one the token illustration he is making.

If you are considering a Kickstarter, do get your project approved early and launch a Coming Soon page. And I suggest you check the design for this Coming Soon, it is an excellent benchmark (except for the lack of a Bluesky account): www.kickstarter.com/projects/tai...

Yesterday I tested a few Bluesky tools, I thought I would share the experience in a thread. 1. CleanFollow Connect (with an App password) - it finds for you accounts you follow that are no longer valid (account deleted or deactivated). No fuss, did what's on the tin. cleanfollow-bsky.pages.dev

I had not written a blog post in a while - but I am having so many discussions around crowdfunding with game studios at the moment that I thought I would save myself some time by writing down the core principles I keep sharing with them. Please share around. medium.com/icopartners/...
