I must admit I did not notice this at all until you pointed it out, and now I can’t un-see it.

Studio Nasu did a kickstarter this year to fund a video game themed for the Otacon convention. They surpased there goal as well, but not to an extreme. They did cap the amount of people who could contribute at each level and I think that was a wise decision and put some a bit of control in to limiting the funding, flood gates if you will.

It’s really sad to see that sometimes lots of funding is not welcome :(

I have to admit that even though this article is fairly interesting, but your use of the “journalistic quotes” is kind of horrible.

“your use of the ‘journalistic quotes’ is kind of horrible”

No less than 9 times in the article, you re-print either the last sentence of the paragraph you just finished, or a phrase from the last paragraph.

“You re-print either last sentence of the paragraph you just finished…”

I mean, come on. What’s the point?

While you can’t cap the dollar amount, you can cap the number of people that can get a specific funding/reward level. I’ve seen most use it to have a limited ‘early bird’ pricing and unlimited ‘regular’ pricing. So you can cap the number of units you’d need to ship.

It’s hard to tell what people will want when you create a product. Sometimes people will want to see footage of a game and sometimes they won’t or it won’t be enough. It also seems annoying that you can’t cap a project. Some groups just don’t have the resources to handle the amount of attention they get. It can get overwhelming

Good article for those out there naive to the world of business! I would say in any endeavor, never put all of your eggs in one basket, it just makes bad business sense to do so!

We can only get good projects when we have the opportunity to look at many projects, even though many are not worth “investing” or “backing”. The power is in the numbers.
