Gamefound believe the Pledge as a Guest feature can significantly impact marketing performance, especially for campaigns targeting a broad, mainstream audience - opening up the idea of crowdfunding to new audiences.
Letās hope Kickstarter implement this option soon!
Gamefound has introduced the option to pledge as a Guest. This is great as it removes the barrier of having to sign up to another platform.
The checkout process remains the same and it lets backers only opt into whatās relevant to them.
Itās been 4 months since my last post here, so Iām just popping up to say hello
Iām terrible at in person networking but need to build up contacts to recommend to games.
Iām looking for people who specialise in:
- press, with knowledge on Kickstarters.
- vinyl figurine and merchandise.
- animators (like cutscene/opener stuff)
And anything that can be helpful for indie devs!
We kicked off the Ghost Vanguard prelaunch campaign 2 days ago and already at 100 followers š ads have been going VERY well, super excited about this one.
Anyone got any tips for PRāing Kickstarters?
Grimsby Town beating United on what was the longest penalties going. Well deserved. United were lucky with the equaliser.
I can handle the piss related song names, but āslurp it upā š¤¢š¤®
Love the Rogue Prince of Persia sound track. Flooded Gardens is pure chill. Well done @evilempirestudio.bsky.social - cracking game.
This will be 100% worth it for the nostalgia and party.
The Kickstarter dashboard now shows you how well your prelaunch followers have converted ā¼ļø
This is great for data insights on how well your following has converted into backers when youāve launch your Kickstarter - a good prelaunch following is key to a successful campaign, not just launch day šŖ
Thank you for saving my life Shark Flex Breeze.
Bring Me The Horizon are entering their lofi girl era, and Iām all for it.
Pretty cool to see Black Mirror coming onto Kickstarter with a graphic novel adaptation of the USS Callister.
Woah. Ahoy, fully funded in 21 hours, but what's more impressive is the number of backers they got in day 2 - 256 in day 1 vs 773 in day 2.
Okay. This looks cool
Looking forward to seeing whatās to come! š
Iād also add to this that I bet they had more wish lists vs backers. There seems to be a divide of gamers supporting a KS now vs buying the game when itās out.
With how many games on KS site how difficult the publisher world is, we deffo need to support indies in developing their game earlier.
But still, Ā£15k from 132 backers is a huge achievement and itās only going to increase in the next 24 hours.
The game looks sick. Keen to keep an eye on how this one goes and what else they will do.
I didnāt see the is game use a prelaunch page, highlighting the importance of a solid prelaunch to build awareness and consideration - not stealth launch.
With a mx of a prelaunch and the FGS, I wonder how much of an impact that could have made or if the show was used as a mid campaign boost.
ā¦but that doesnāt really seem to be the case.
Sitting at 132 backers since the show finished, if they all came from FGS, that would be a conversion rate of 0.32%.
Viewers might back the game later in the next day or so, but youāre competing against 20+ odd games, majority asking for wishlists.
During the Future Game Show, I was pretty stoked to see a game make a launch debut on Kickstarter. But are ālive showsā worth it for Kickstarters?
Oh manā¦ I donāt know... āAhoyā showcased their game and Kickstarter to 41,000 viewers.
Youād want people to stop what they are doing and pledgeā¦
Mark your calendars and set your reminders: be sure to watch the @pcgamer.com show this Sunday for... reasons.

New ad edit for Blackbalde Revenant. Accidentally created a sick transition at 0:04 using two edits of a similar attack.
Days off in the park
And hereās a 7s short form ad.
The Blackbalde Revenant Ad campaign has rolled out across Meta and Reddit.
Our KPI is wishlist growth, using available interest and community targeting with the a mixture of short and long form ad content.
Super happy with how the ad content as turned out, designed by moi.
Damn! Those slip cases and the collection bundles are gorgeous.
A new team that has worked on my all time faves, Skyrim and Fallout, are now looking to launch a game on Kickstarter š. Looking forward to seeing more of this one, concept artwork is super neat.
