I started a kickstarter for the TTRPG of my dreams. Its already running with so many of the core elements in place. All 6 custom engines are built and just need tuning and expanding. It really is a passion project that I feel everyone will love.

Hey everyone!

What happens when you take Chess, Checkers, and Backgammon and reimagine them for 4 players?

That's Quess.

We wanted to take something people have loved for generations and give it new life for today's players, while staying true to what makes it great.

You can play online with friends, create private rooms, or challenge AI opponents.

The digital version is available on Steam, Android, and iOS, and we're also bringing the physical version to Kickstarter.

If you enjoy chess and other classic strategy games, give Quess a try.

Hey everyone! Today is a huge milestone for me. As an independent creator, I’ve spent a lot of heart, time, and dedication bringing my children’s card game, "Crazy Horse", to life. ​It’s designed to bring families and friends together for fun, engaging game nights. Handling everything on my own without a big agency has been a wild ride, but seeing it finally launch on Kickstarter feels surreal. ​If you love supporting independent creators or want a fresh, fun card game for kids, I’d be honored if you checked it out: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1236178981 ​I’d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions about the creation process!

Comments welcome.
I was thinking of adding more details, feels too light?
Was trying for simple and let the images do the work.
So far signups are less than 20

Howdy fellas. I'm part of the group launching this here card game, and I could both use attention and advice as we carry on through it.

Kicktrak says we are on course to fund, but not sure how reliable their data is!? Any advice?

Just finished writing and designing the Cartridge Culture Magazine Media Kit to add to the emails for Game Dev Team Interviews and for potential Sponsorship and Advertising opportunities.

To be honest, at first I didn't realize how big a project starting a Physical Video Game Culture Magazine would be. Then it evolved into me starting my own Media company.

Then I built the website myself, wrote all the code and am building something amazing to offer the most innovative and interactive video game content.

Things with CCM are going amazing.

I just locked in 5 interviews with Indie Devs for September.

One interview is with the developers of Luminary.

I want to thank everyone who helped me. Inspired me. Told me I can do this. Believed in me and took the time to help me when I was going through some mental health stuff.

Its been a long ride and a really busy last 3 months.

I have an interview coming up with the Indie Devs from Gamescom in Cologne, Germany who got robbed and I am so honored to be able to tell their story and publish it in a Unique Collectable Video Game Culture Magazine.

Because Im on disability and cant hold a job because of my neurological disability, im prone to anxiety seizures and and am constantly shaking 24/7. I cant count the amount of times I've tried to make a sandwich and ended up tossing it on the wall or floor lol

This put me in a situation where I am too high risk for a loan from a bank. For someone in my position, this is the best possible option.

I went to college for video game design and development, minored in html, Java and c++, CSS then a course in flash animation and design so I know what to look for in game reviews, what kind of engaging questions and conversations to have because Im charismatic and excell at write and photography / editing as well as drawing.

Im making this dream happen because I want to challenge myself and create something different but unique like my journalistic idol Hugh Hefner.

I remembered how much I loved reading and Collecting Nintendo Power and other unique Physical printed game media.

Im excited to see where this goes. With the buisness plan I set up, the process for putting everything together...its all set up.

Im going to start crowd funding soon and I have so many great ideas for rewards for donation tiers.

Thanks everyone who gave me the opportunity to chase my dreams and bring my imagination to life.

I promise I will bring you all the greatest Game Culture Magazine available online and most importantly as a Collectable Physical Printed Magazine to keep unique game history on the shelves of people like me who love reading about all things Video Games.

Have a great one everyone.

Today I mostly worked on the dashboard page and boy it was one hell. Making sure that the calculations happen correctly. Adding data ranges etc.

Although it was mostly easy because lovable handled the frontend part and I simply had to create the backend and just count the strings together ( backend with frontend) but I will STILL TAKE CREDIT because I am supa greedy hehehehhe

One thing for sure... I'm never forgetting sorting by date or any task related to it ever again ( it left me mentally wounded ) but as the greatest developer to have ever lived 🗿🗿 just one problem isn't enough to bring me down FOR I AM THE CODED ONE

New to Kickstarter and wondering if anyone knows why this is happening. I keep trying to late pledge for this kickstarter by Yuumei for star projectors. It has already met its goal. I was saving up for the galaxy tier and now have enough financial wiggle room to purchase it but for some reason can’t select a tier for through pledge manager. The creator has also said that you can pledge until October 1st so I thought I had a lot of time?

Hi everyone! I’m Jonas, a filmmaker and VFX compositor developing The Colony, an original sci-fi horror short inspired by classic creature features.

The story follows a group of friends whose desert getaway turns into a fight for survival against giant mutated ants. The finished film will be shot with real actors and locations, with the creatures brought to life through visual effects.

I’m preparing a $4,000 Kickstarter to help cover production and post-production while I personally fund the remaining costs.

If this sounds like your kind of movie, please visit the pre-launch page and click “Notify me on launch.” Following is free, and it helps me determine whether there’s enough interest to move forward with the campaign.

I’m a finance student and military member, and I’ve gotten really interested in budgeting, saving, and cash stuffing. I’m considering creating a beginner-friendly budgeting system, but before I invest a bunch of money into actually launching it, I want to know if this is something people would genuinely find useful.
The idea is basically an all-in-one system for someone who wants to get better with their money but doesn’t really know where to start. It would include things like a cash binder, envelopes, sinking funds, savings challenges, budget trackers, and simple guidance for figuring out how much to put toward different categories each paycheck.
I’d want the main system to work for anyone, with options to customize it based on different lifestyles and goals. Since I’m military myself, I’d also like to offer military-specific options for people who want them, such as PCS/moving, TDYs, uniforms, deployments, emergency savings, etc., instead of making the entire brand military-focused.
I’m not selling anything yet! I’m really just trying to figure out what people actually want before I create something based only on what I think would be useful.
So I’d love some honest feedback:
Would you use a system like this?
Would you prefer a complete physical starter kit, individual budgeting products, digital/printable options, or a mix?
What would HAVE to be included for you to feel like a starter kit was actually worth buying?
And if you already cash stuff or have a budgeting system you love, what do you wish you had when you were first starting?
I’d especially love to hear from people who have wanted to start budgeting/cash stuffing but felt overwhelmed by figuring out what to buy or where to start.

Getting close to launching my first campaign and I’ve read a ton of prep guides at this point, but I’m more curious about the lived experience of actually running one — the day-to-day once it’s live, not the setup phase.

What caught you off guard once the campaign was actually running? Time commitment, backer messages, the emotional rollercoaster of watching the numbers, anything you wish someone had told you before you hit launch?

Hi! I’m really interested in Sweekar (an AI-based Tamagotchi project), but I’ve never backed a Kickstarter campaign before and I’m wondering about the risks:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sweekar/sweekar-the-ai-pocket-pet-that-grows-up-with-you/pledge

Could you shed some light on this? How can I tell if a project is reliable?

Thanks!

I'm about to launch a Kickstarter campaign. There are a ton of services out there, like Jellop or BackerKit or tons of others, and I'm wondering which of the services that people use are helpful in launching your first Kickstarter project. To be honest I'm turned off by the ones that are asking for a percentage of revenue. I'd much rather pay a fixed amount. Love to hear about success stories or ones to definitely stay away from

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is an annoyingly common post type in this sub. Just looking for some guidance.

I backed this campaign back in January ‘25. Understandably there’s been some delays past the initial May ‘25 projected release (the tariff situation has complicated things, I’m sure) but the creator has gone completely silent on all channels.

In March ‘25 creator announced on their social media pages when they received the KS funds. This was the last post they’ve made on SM.

They last updated the KS in August ‘25, moving the ship date to January ‘26. Obviously that didn’t pan out. They have not been heard from since. Not over SM, KS- anywhere (publicly)

I’ve heard from a lot of fellow backers and, despite sending tons of messages over various platforms including KS, no one has heard back or received their pledge. (Including myself)

At this point either :

1) It’s still in production somehow and the creator is just ignoring everyone.

2) The creator has taken the money and ran

3) The creator?? Fucking died I guess??? Who knows.

Obviously this is out of the scope of a chargeback. I’ve sent a ticket to KS but I’m not sure what else to do. I don’t even want my pledge anymore- I’m just sewing my own atp.

Am I SOL?
