Even if it does not work out, you have at least tried it once and know how it works and what to take care of. Any maybe for the next time it will succeed.

That means screenshots, concept art and a convincing video, that is like an advertisement. Make those people say/think/feel like ... "geee... awesome! We must bring this alive!!!". And then you have to spread the word. I don't know how ":schutzkontakt" appeals to english speaking people, but the name could be already raising eyebrows. Last edited by HeelX; 03/13/12 21:08.

Us linguistically challenged folk don't know what schutzkontakt means, so most of us would immediately dismiss the game as "some foreign game I can't play". Formerly known as JulzMighty.

You will see that most projects collect nothing or a few Hundreds. Just a few reach a few Thousands. If there is no big name, advertising or some successful project behind it, then it just dont work. The reason is, that donators need some significant amount of confidence to spend their money. Models, Textures and Games from Dexsoft
