One of my favorite youtubers called Tobuscus started a crowdfunding campaign last year to create his own game called ‘Tobuscus Adventures: The Game”. Because I really liked his youtube videos I decided to donate a little bit.
This youtube comedian wanted to raise 240k. To make it more attractive to donate something, there were perks. Perks are rewards when you donate more than a certain amount of money. When you donated more than 10 dollar you get a free version of a game and some more ‘awesome’ stuff. When you were really generous and donated more than 10k your name will be in the game credits and website and you can visit the game studio where you will meet Tobuscus.
As I said earlier Tobuscus initial goal was to raise 240k. Then only a IOS game was created for Iphone and Ipad. But when people donated more than 340k the game was also launched on Android. In The end people donated over 550k so also a pc version of the game will be created.
After reaching enough money to develop the game the campaign was closed at 5 july 2013. After waiting for more than a year the game is’nt published yet. Because it takes so long I’m way less excited as I first was. He missed alot of deadlines but I still hope that he releases the game soon.
Did you ever contributed to a crowdfunding campaign and what was your experience with it?
