How would you launch a successful kickstarter?

How would you launch a successful kickstarter?

Have an actual prototype to show you have the necessary skills to produce vidya.

Fuck off, Duncan. Macro is shit-tier fetish.

An insane amount of anime ass concept art

I wouldn't give "Participate in the development of the game!" bonuses for big donations.

By not getting involved with the furry mafia.

Furry Mafia thread?

Have gameplay footage (even if it's pre-alpha) available, to prove that you have actual progress and not only ideas/concepts.
Do not let fans have relatively good control over the game's direction, unless you want The Furry Mafia (or something/someone just as cancerous) to make you their bitch.

>make cool concept art
>well made documentory about what inspired me to develop the game and how all my dreams are coming true
>produce shitty game with worse than 3ds tier graphics
>run away with the money

Any other Kickstarter where we can put shitty characters in

>furry mafia
go on

How about a footnote where the developer has full creative control over your character? That way when the furry mafia rolls around you can make their character into a punching bag or an annoying cunt that gets killed immediately if it's clearly fetish-based.

Make it a cute girls with animal ears raising simulator. $150 tier is a plushy.

This is something that happened with Undertale, didn't stop the furry self-insert from being a stain on the game.

Make a board game instead of vidya.

The kangaroo in the pic is the fursona of a furry Don that is worshipped by other furries. If you draw art of his fursona without permission he sends people after you to harass you and ruins your reputation or some shit

By making realistic promises and keeping them.

Have a real prototype ready instead of waiting for KS money to flood in before lifting a finger and never giving any donor, regardless of how much money they contribute, an iota of power in the development process.

>we plan to use an inclusive and open system to allow our artists a higher efficiency and communication level, which allows us to emphasize the synergy between the diverse ideas of our creators.
>post concept art of a furry

I require far more information.

thats pretty much all there is to know, dingus. go look it up

>an optional encounter that can only be found a single minute of a single day of an entire year
>a stain on the game

redpill me on the furry mafia

>meant to be in the main cast but too fucking weird
>Tobi tries to make the butter dude listen to reason but it falls on deaf ears
>opts to put his encounter under such strict requirements that no player could potentially ever find unless they actively know about it

this

Make it about futa monstergirls of differing species catfighting and the winner gets to mercilessly fuck the loser.
Lots of emphasis on customization, especially in monstergirl options.

He's a richfag irl, he ordered all of his mafia buddies to pledge to the kickstarter as leverage to get his fursona in. Then he basically controlled the project because he could order his posse to pull their pledges if the devs didn't comply

He also demands people to draw or stop drawing his fursona and sends his buddies to harass you and shit on you if you don't comply. Some guy drew a pink kangaroo, then the Duncan the furry kingpin demanded him to draw art of that pink kangaroo being his fursona's girlfriend or he was going to send his cronies to harass him.

Meant for

I would not put up a kickstarter until a substantial amount of the game is done, have a decent sized demo to show off what has been done, have stuff planned out (Including how to downsize the game if goals are not met without damaging it too much), and go into detail about budget/development/etc. I also would not go hog wild on the stretch goals and would treat the extras more as icing on the cake then "These need to be met or the game will be a hollowed mess". I also think promising console ports so early would be a mess and cause a MN9 situation where the game suffers because of it.

I'd also be weary of too many physical items (especially after all the horror stories), and have stipulations about any user-made stuff being completely up to the team if we are to include it or not and allow us to deny stuff (To avoid a butter dragon/duncan situation)

Would buy desu

I have a multitude of characters I can give to kickstarter but I don't know any good games

Wasn't he only found when people datamined the game too?

Yeah.
No homo tho.

someone redpill me on this.

Some furfag with a ton of cash donated to get his fursona in the game. Even though his fursona clashed with the art style he refused to let the dev team tweak the design and basically held the game for ransom, since he paid so much and said he would refund if his fursona was changed at all.

>no homo
Futa isn't gay.

You know how there were cliques in high-school and there were usually some queen bee that ruled over them all? That's a furry mafia, only instead of the hallway it's some furry forum.

Obviously not, but there are some people who unironically believe that
>there is anything gay about two futa monstergirls of differing species fighting
>there is anything gay about one of them winning and in heat from the bout
>there is anything gay about the winner claiming the loser as a reward for her victory
>there is anything gay about the winner asserting her dominance over the loser by penetrating her every hole
>there is anything gay about the winner marking the loser as her bitch by filling her holes with semen
>there is anything gay about the winner mocking her for being the inferior monstergirl as she does so
>there is anything gay about the loser attempting to resist but failing every attempt
>there is anything gay about the loser giving in and admitting the winner is right and becoming her cockslut
And they are very wrong, so obviously that belief must be assurred for what it truly is, absolutely and completely incorrect.

>This thread again?

Is the same thing over and over again.
There is nothing new to be brought up about this project. Give it a rest or make a pastebin of everything is known

>draw character
>draw couple tiny skyscrapers isolated in a valley
>Jerk dingdong

>he was going to send his cronies to harass him.
that can't be really a threat, i mean, furries going out to someone who they don't know where he lives?

Start off with a good demo.

so it is true about the furry mafia?

Making money off these faggots is so easy, you wouldn't believe.

Well look at a game like SC. Similar circumstances happen to people that shitpost about it all the time.

Fuck this guy so much

Isn't this shit illegal?

>furry mafia
>Furry cronies
Holy shit this is gold

bank on nostalgia

>SC
Soul Calibur?

I need a quick rundown on this furry mafia

I guess he's talking about star citizen?

>mods bow to Furry Mafia
>rule FurAffinity with an iron but fair paw
>direct descendants of ancient canis lupus bloodline

>you will never take out a furry mafia

wew

Star Citizen.

The backer community is filled with furry cliques that harass naysayers.

Furry pandering, obviously

dont forget the fat dinosaur who's sole defining characteristic is that its fat

By having a demo and a clear idea of the final product before you do it.

newfag

Do people care what engine you make the demo in?

It should probably be the same engine as the final product for clarity's sake
