Re-Spawn: IndieGoGo Crowd Funding Initiative
by Quinton Delpeche · 04/05/2012 (9:04 pm) · 2 comments
In order the raise the $2,500 I need to finalise the game, I thought I would try a spot of Crowd Funding. So the IndieGoGo Crowd Funding has been launched. Please help by contributing. http://www.indiegogo.com/re-spawn?a=486548
I am trying the Crowd Funding route as a bit of an experiment ... and we'll see how it goes. IndieGoGo was the only route available to me due to my location ... South Africa ... hopefully the project can get the funding.
I opted for the Fix Funding route, as there are less fees involved and it means that if I don't raise at least the $2,500.00 in 45 days, all contributed money gets refunded.

I will make a few donations and see how it goes ... I didn't expect too much to happen over the Easter Weekend anyway.
Edit: Wow ... talk about disappointing. :(
Does anyone know of places where I can promote the Crowd Funding Initiative and hopefully get some traction through to the site. Can't say I am expecting any miracles, but at least if I can see traffic tot he site then I can establish if the problem is the project, the documentation, or the site.
Thanks

One thought - it might be worth your while to get some immediate friends or family to make some initial donations to get you off the $0 mark on the indiegogo site.
Just seeing any amount there is better than people going and seeing a zero and having them think there might be a reason the project is being ignored.
