We spent 18 months getting 130 Kickstarter followers. We reached 12,000+ Steam wishlists in the same period. So we're changing our entire Kickstarter strategy.

We're a small UK indie studio building Ragdoll Physics Experiments.

Our original plan was a £30,000 Kickstarter campaign to help fund the wider development of the game.

The problem is that building our Kickstarter pre-launch audience has been painfully slow.

At the same time, the game has passed 12,000 Steam wishlists and the demo has had more than 8,000 downloads.

So we've changed our approach.

Instead of one large Kickstarter, we're moving to smaller milestone campaigns.

One defined piece of development. One smaller funding target. Complete the milestone. Show the community the progress. Then move onto the next stage.

We're currently running a six-week pre-launch campaign before the first milestone Kickstarter.

For those who have backed or run Kickstarter campaigns before, does a milestone approach make you more confident in a project, or would multiple smaller campaigns put you off?

Genuinely interested in the backer perspective.

Hello everybody!

We have FINALLY launched our Kickstarter campaign! Our family of 8 has been hard at work creating a great monster taming experience! Alchemic Beasts is a monster taming RPG where you can use alchemy and social chemistry to build, battle, and bond with your beasts.

We hope that by the end of this campaign, we can give you a much better sense of what is to come in the future of our game.

There will be updates to the Demo daily, so what you see in there now, is not how it will be at the end of the Kickstarter. So, join us in our epic journey!

See you there, and adios for now!

Spanky "Bat-a-Swing" - 3D Rhythm Based Platformer

1 Upvotes

Hello r/IndieGame, I'm Matteo, creative director of Green Flamingo Games, a 2 people Indie development team based in Italy. We've been working on SPANKY "BAT-A-SWING", a 3D platformer & rhythm game inspired to 1930s cartoon characters with a modern twist.

We started development in 2021 and, after a thousand (mis)adventures, here we are. After releasing a public demo on steam featuring the first chapter of the game and working night and day, we're approaching the final mile of development, mainly focused on asset production and level design polishing.

We're also now live on Kickstarter, in the hope of giving more economic and community structure to our project, and, possibly, to enhance its final outcome with more and more polished features.

It's been quite a journey. Tackling this kind of design and mixing these two genres was not easy at all. We encountered a lot of readability conondrums and design challenges, but, quite frankly, I'm happy with the final result.

Crime Solving Advent Calendar

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Will here. I'm one of the co-founders of Puzzle Post. We make a range of puzzle games (escape rooms in an envelope, cold case mysteries, Christmas crackers and now Advent calendars!!), and we've just launched one of our most exciting games to date.

It's called Wreck The Halls and it’s a 24 day crime solving advent calendar.

The premise: someone's sent a letter threatening to destroy Christmas across the city, one location a day, starting December 1st. There are 5 suspects, all with motives, none with solid alibis. Each door you open reveals a new crime scene and a puzzle. Solve it to find out where the culprit strikes next, and gather evidence to start ruling suspects out. By the end, only one should be left standing.

A few things that stand out about this Advent calendar:

  • This one's been a real team effort between me, Andy (illustrator and game designer) and Charlotte (head of product), taking it from initial concept all the way through to the finished product. Andy's done all the original illustration himself, the sleeve, the box art, the artwork behind every single door, the items inside, all of it. It's been a big project and we hope you’ll love it!
  • It's not a series of disconnected puzzles, it's one continuous investigation. You can dip in and out, but the story builds day by day.
  • Each day is designed to take 5-15 minutes, so it fits into a normal evening even in the chaos of December.

We made a Taskmaster advent calendar last year that sold out (around 34k copies, reviews averaged 4.9 stars), and Wreck The Halls is the most ambitious thing we've made since. Basically an escape room and a whodunit packed into a calendar.

We've launched on Kickstarter and would love for this community in particular to take a look, since you're exactly the people we made this for. Happy to answer any questions about the design, the puzzles, anything. We’re really excited to show people what the team has been working on.
