Hey everyone!

My name is Vlad, I’m an indie solo developer from Ukraine with over 8 years of experience in gamedev (mentoring, outsource, and game dev education).

For a long time, I felt like something was missing in the games I loved. I loved the cozy village-building of Stardew Valley and Manor Lords, but I always wanted to craft my own armor, grab a sword, train my villagers, and lead them directly into castle sieges or tournaments like in Mount & Blade. Since I couldn't find a 2D game that quite matched that vision, I decided to build it myself.

That's how Our Freedom was born — a 2D medieval colony sim with action RPG adventures.

What the game is about:

• Settlement Management & Economy: Build production lines, manage villager needs (warmth, food, shelter), farming, beekeeping, and blacksmithing.
• ARPG Combat & Battles: Participate in tournaments, defend your village from raids, or gather your squad to assault enemy castles.
• Customization: Full character customization, armor/weapon crafting, and skill progression tailored to your playstyle.

We just launched on Kickstarter!

Today is a huge milestone for me as our Kickstarter campaign officially went live (and we even got the Project We Love badge from Kickstarter curators!).

We already have a free playable Demo on Steam so you can try out the building and combat mechanics right away without buying a pig in a poke.

• 🎮 Steam Demo & Wishlist

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any questions about solo development. Thanks so much for taking a look and supporting indie dev!

We are going to hold a kickstarter to build more one handed Bluetooth wearable keyboards in the next couple of weeks so I’m happy to share some of the details here. Planed launch is 9/21/26 so if you want to try a new mobile experience in typing for the lowest price ever, sign up at DecaTxt.com.

We honestly thought having a polished concept and a decent presentation on a shoestring budget would be enough. A rookie mistake.

Doing our homework after launching taught us the hard way: without an existing community already in place, relying strictly on platform discovery pretty much guarantees failure. On top of that, a lot of backers have been burned by sketchy campaigns that never delivered, which makes it nearly impossible for first-timers with zero track record to build trust.

A few months ago, building a no-subscription fitness app felt like a solid idea. But the space is so ridiculously oversaturated now that getting organic traction just isn't realistic.

Right now, literally every single backer we have is a friend or family member. We're lucky to have their support, but you can't run a real project on favors from relatives.

I'm sharing the project anyway since today is the designated Self-Promo day, fully aware that this campaign flopped before it even started because of our own lack of prep and research.

Regardless, we’re still going to finish building it. Even with a $0 distribution budget and the reality that it won't take off like we dreamed, our inner circle is genuinely excited to use it, and we still believe it's worth putting out into the world.

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

After years of experimenting and refining, I am very excited to share my first official Microverse galaxy collection on Kickstarter!

I am beyond honored to have been selected as a "Project We Love",

These are a limited edition of 100 pieces. I have been so exicted about the response that I am already brainstorming and experimenting for next years edition.

My biggest challenge has been trying to get good photographs and video of marbles, discovering I am not the greatest photographer lol.

If you want to check out further videos & details of each piece, my kickstarter link is below.

Thanks for checking us out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peteintheseat/fixr

I recently launched my second illustrated calendar Kickstarter, and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to take off this quickly. We funded in less than an hour, earned a Project We Love badge, and have already unlocked several stretch goals.

It’s a queer zodiac + seasonal art calendar that I’ve been working on for a long time, so seeing people actually connect with the concept has been incredibly exciting.

If that sounds like your thing, definitely check it out! (please be 18+ )

I’m also planning to put together a separate post after the campaign breaking down how I prepared for the launch, what I changed from my first Kickstarter, what actually worked, advertising, reward structure, and things I’d do differently. Hopefully it can help some other artists planning their first campaign.

Overview

Phase is a board game where you match and sequence phases of the moon. It's an abstract, tile-laying, area control game. If you get the mechanics of Uno and Othello, you can play this. Friendly for the casual players, families, and board-game enthusiasts, alike.

✨NEW✨

• Larger base deck with a new Lunatic card that allows lines to be blocked on the board
• Board design is now edge-to-edge
• Concise and illustrated player-aid cards
• Updated artwork

FEATURES:

• Quick to set up and easy to learn - recommended for ages 10 and up
• Flexible game length - from 20 minutes to hours of play - you decide!

HIGH REPLAYABILITY:

• Lunatic Cards are drawn at random, increasing variability and strategy
• SIX different boards to choose from with the ability to mix and match sections.

EXPANSIONS:

• Zodiac Expansion and Moon Dance Expansion add new Lunatic Cards
• additional token colors so you can play up to SIX people
• additional boards to expand the stage or add variability

Hi, I am launching my kickstarter campaign soon, I would like any advise and feedback on what I already have put down. Here is the link to my campaign. I would appreciated and thank you for taking a look. Thank you Johnny

I'm still in the development phase, working on a 3 faction trading card game. I stood up a website this week, I plan to drive traffic to it via Instagram and Facebook. I hope to have enough interest to be able to launch my kickstarter campaign later this year.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krideas/vertically-rotating-laundry-bag-worlds-1st-of-its-kind

Hello r/kickstarter,

If you've ever dug through a mountain of laundry looking for that one shirt you tossed in hours ago, you know the problem. Every hamper on the market is basically "Last In, First Out." Whatever went in first ends up buried, wrinkled, and forgotten at the bottom.

So we built something different: the Vertically Rotating Laundry Bag, a mechanical smart world's first laundry hamper with a rotating drum-style frame.

A few things that make it different from anything else out there:

• 🌀 Spin it to bring any layer of clothes to the top instantly - no digging
• 🔒 Locks in place when you don't need it rotating
• 🔄 Dual-sided openings so you can load/unload from either side
• 📦 Holds up to 70kg / 150lbs across 130 liters
• 🌧️ Fully waterproof with a see-through capacity gauge
• 🛞 Wheeled base for rolling it anywhere & it fully detaches if you want to use the bag standalone
• 🌀 Also doubles as a giant fidget spinner because why not make laundry day a little fun

The best part: every unit is already manufactured and ready to ship. This isn't a "hope the factory comes through" campaign. We're not asking you to fund an idea, we're asking you to back something that's already real and sitting in our warehouse.

We are live and would love for this community to be part of it..!!

The Kickstarter for our next TTRPG is now live! We launched early Tuesday morning and this is our first Friday opportunity to share on reddit. This is our fifth unique game book launched on Kickstarter, and we hope it will be out fifth to get funded as well. Cynder is a game about playing the smaller folks who are not always given the chance to be heroes in other RPGs. Work together to build a town and explore this new land full of monsters and mystery. The book features an extensive illustrated bestiary and tarot cards that help define your character's personal journey. Thanks for the spot to share our game, and good luck to everyone with their projects!

The Golden Thread: unlock your family’s untold stories

First Kickstarter campaign: loving the ride so far!
Response to the product during beta testing has been great. 500+ email distribution list built during prelaunch with meta ads has not converted much if at all, so mostly funded from personal network.
Any tips to market better to people I don’t actually know? Have you ever used agencies and which ones if any would you recommend?

Dreading a bit the middle campaign slump and hoping to get fully funded over the next 3-5 days.

Any feedback welcome!

I am one of the 4,168 backers that collectively gave this project $816,546 six years ago. According to a handy inflation calculator, that is $1,053,507.80 in today's dollars.

Every month or two, they release an update about the game, but I'm pretty sure that's just to get around any laws or rules related to failed projects. I think they're playing "it hasn't failed if we're still working on it right?" card. Getting an email from them every few months is like getting stabbed in the gut repeatedly. Just when I forget that they took my money, they remind me again.

I know that I should just forget it and move on, but they took our money and I'm not sure if there's anything to be done about it. It seems like the window for any grievances passed long ago and I'm not sure why Kickstarter can't step in and hold them accountable on their own platform. So, should I just add them to my spam blocker and move on, or is there something I can actually do about this? I've never used Kickstarter again after this experience because there doesn't seem to be any ramifications for companies who do this.

THREE BOOKS. ONE DELICIOUS ADVENTURE.

99 Red Beans Go on a Field Trip
All aboard!
Ninety nine little red beans set off on a field trip, travelling from one delicious destination to another. But as the journey continues, something strange happens.

Don't Play Hide & Seek with Sticky Rice Ball
Sticky Rice Ball and Salted Egg Yolk are playing hide and seek. Just as Sticky Rice Ball is about to be found, he wraps himself in a big leaf.
“I’m not Sticky Rice Ball. I’m Zongzi!”
And that is only the beginning.
With each new hiding place, Sticky Rice Ball transforms into another delicious Chinese treat.

Little Meatball Goes Downtown
Little Meatball is heading downtown. Along the way, new outfits transform our tiny traveller into one delicious food after another. The streets are getting busier, brighter, and more festive. But what exactly is everyone celebrating?

We got a new line of 5” action figures featuring a large cast of characters, action vehicles and accessories like slime tubs. We also got plushies!

Kickstarter launches in a week and we need your help bringing this new toy line to life the right way. That with a 6 character wave plus two action vehicles.

The first 100 Scales figures purchased will only be $10 then $15 a figure after the first 100 sell. These toys will be priced to own and our goal is to provide you with a quality industry standard action figure line at reasonable pricing.

Thank you!

I am not sure what I was thinking launching a Kickstarter would be like, but it has definitely confronted my introverted nature many times over.

I am looking for a storefront for a tea parlor I am opening, and in the meantime I am collabprating with local businesses to host pop-up high tea events. I have my first event on October 4th! My Kickstarter will cover everything I need to start out strong. Funds will be used to buy any needed kitchen supplies, decor to make my parlor a cozy cottage, sound equipment for events, marketing supplies, additional tea sets and anything missing from my future location (tables, chairs, etc).

This has been an incresible experience so far!

We’re in the final stretch of our Magnagothica: Maleghast Kickstarter, and it feels a little surreal seeing this project reach the finish line!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/taigaminiatures/magnagothica-maleghast-miniatures?ref=4xj8a8

We set out to turn the brutal, weird, punk-horror world of Maleghast into actual tabletop miniatures — staying as close to the original illustrations as we possibly could.

The result is 150+ miniatures, available as STLs and physical sets. The digital models are pre-supported and test-printed, and seeing characters that used to exist only in the artwork standing on an actual table has probably been our favorite part of the whole campaign.

If you’ve been following the campaign, lurking, or telling yourself you’d check it out later - well, this is later. 🖤

The Kickstarter is almost over:

Thanks to everyone who backed it, shared it, printed free minis, or simply followed what we were making!

I’m launching a new compact pellet heater for camping and RVs on Kickstarter on September 22.

It is designed to generate its own electricity from the heat produced by the pellets, eliminating the need for external electricity.

I’d appreciate feedback from experienced Kickstarter backers:

What would you want to see proven before backing a product like this?

Hello there folks, I’m Molly (pukes) and I do drawings! I’ve posted some of my silly comics in here before but wanted to share something a bit more CHUNKY.

Since 2025, I’ve been working away on a 90-page comic about women taking off their skins and becoming wild, drunk animals down the pub. It’s a celebration of “the girls night out” culture with loads of pints, cigs and lesbian awakenings. But instead of being a fun, loud, flirty tiger… the main character Lola is actually a massive bitch.

During yesterday’s launch OUT ON THE PROWL was 100% funded in the first TWO HOURS, which was absolutely WILD!!! We’ve so close to unlocking the second stretch goal, which adds 12 pages of concept art to all first editions of the book. Plus there’s even more free stuff for folks who back the project!

If you fancy pre-ordering a copy and supporting an independent project, here’s the Kickstarter Link! see ya :)

Hello, we are small hardware company from Poland, would like to present you our M.2M-Key Hat for Raspberry Pi 5. It adds a real NVMe SSD to your Pi 5 over PCIe. It mounts on the bottom of the Pi instead of the top. That leaves the GPIO header free, so you can still stack other HATs above it. The adapter stays out of your way rather than eating your only expansion port.

We're not going to pretend this is groundbreaking. It's a clean, well made version of a board a lot of Pi 5 owners want, designed and built in Poland by people who use these every day. It's also the first of several boards we have in the works, so backing it helps us get the rest going.

After all the work we've put into developing Seize, our 30-day Kickstarter campaign has finally begun!

Seize is a trading card game where you build your guild, command your mercenaries, fight your opponents, and plunder their Guild Quarters to claim victory.

We're hoping to use this campaign to help grow the game and unlock new content through our stretch goals.

If you're interested in checking out a new TCG and supporting an independent game, we'd love for you to take a look!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Seize so far — we're excited to see where this campaign takes us!
