Eyes Open Kickstarter Postmortem
September 17th - via: gamasutra.com
We ran the Eyes Open Kickstarter from August 2nd to September 1st, with a funding goal of $8,000. By the end of the campaign, we had raised just over $5,000. "We" was three people from my university, the Rochester Institute of Technology - Sean Brennan, Sarah Armstrong, and myself. One of the goals we had going into Kickstarter was to document the entire process. We wanted to be able to show people the experiences we had, so we spent a fair amount of time trying to document our Kickstarter strategies and situations as they happened. As such, this postmortem focuses less on describing what we personally learned, and more on both giving an accurate picture of what happened to us and providing a jumping off ground for other small projects to create their own strategies and theories. It's also fairly long, because I've prioritized giving detailed and complete information more than making everything concise. (Read More)
