I got this question yesterday. If I want to do this, why not use Kickstarter as it’s been such a success for heaps of stuff.
The world famous Double Fine Adventure sets a precedent. A small team of dedicated people can achieve great things.
But, ultimately we’re not ready for that. We’ve got the start of a team with Aidan and Willem. We’re trying to raise some cash for assets – images, music, animations, movies. We have our Lo-Fi movie, a wiki that’s growing with game design features and background and we’re talking to Northern Ireland Screen about what they can do to help.
We’re not ready for something like Kickstarter because we don’t have the twelve year background of Double Fine Productions, the reputation of Tim Schafer, the back catalogue of 2 Player Productions. Kickstarter is a big step and we’re not ready because we don’t have anything to show.
We’d like help to get there.
