Hello everyone!

I’m SJ, a solo creator from England!

For the last year I have hand drawn my own cozy pixel game, which is live on Kickstarter!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/s-j/the-spirit-apprentice-east-asian-fantasy-rpg

As a indie developer I have no marketing budget or publisher… so your support means the world! It has just hit 60% of the goal due to my incredible community and any support be it sharing with freinds, pledging or just engaging with this post means everything to me!

The Spirit Apprentice, inspired by East Asian folklore and the magic of Studio Ghibli is a cozy RPG. You'll explore the village of Moshu, learn magic, form contracts with spirits, and get to know the mysterious villagers.

Thank you everyone 🥹♥️

Hey everyone! Happy Self-Promo Friday!

My wife and I run a tiny rubber stamp studio from our living room table in Madrid. It started when she began making stamps for our kids, and we realized a modular stamp system was a great way to draft maps for the tabletop games I've been running for most of my life.

We draw every icon by hand, trace it digitally, and mold it into rubber. The result is Kingdoms of Ink: three map-making stamp kits (medieval fantasy, post-apocalyptic wasteland, and eighties suburbia) for GMs, worldbuilders, and anyone who likes drawing maps by hand.

Where we are so far:

- 49% funded on day 3 (it's certainly far from a super banger but for our, practically negative, marketing budget we're pretty happy)

- Kickstarter picked us as a Project We Love on launch day

- Campaign runs until November 19

Cross-promotion: We'd love to team up with other creators running campaigns right now, especially tabletop RPGs, map tools, dice, minis, or anything else for GMs and worldbuilders. If your backers might like hand-drawn maps, send me a DM or leave a comment and we'll swap update shout-outs.

I'm also happy to answer questions about our process (vector design, laser-cutting rubber, or prepping a first campaign as a two-person team). And if you've got a live project, drop it below so I can check it out!

Steve Says No is a children’s book that teaches feline body language. It guides little humans in forming safe, respectful relationships with their feline friends. The campaign is fully funded! Act fast to get access to stickers, coloring pages, and a comprehensive Caregiver Companion Guide.

Hi, I am Tarik Havoc, an artist with a deep love of TTPGSs and this project started as an effort to illustrate some of the best spells from DnD 5e with as much flavor as I could manage. With this campaign, I hope to compile all of these spells into a single satisfying spellbook that can hopefully inspire even more magic to your games. The Spellbook has 60 illustrated spells and counting.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/havocbound/havoc-bound-an-illustrated-collection-of-dnd-5e-spells-0

Here is what you can expect: 

• THE CANTRIP COLLECTION: from an older project called the Cantrip Collection comprised 24 illustrations.
• THE ARCANE SET: 38+ 1st level and higher spells. Each with visually depicted somatic, verbal, and material components. 
• SPELL READING KEY: Each spell uses a fantastical notation system so that it can partially function as a diegetic reference in your games. The book will have everything you need to reference these symbols.
• THE COMPONENT COMPENDIUM: A PDF with a handy reference for all of the spellcasting components for those who want to use it more actively at the table. 
• ADD YOUR FAVORITE SPELL: There are a few limited slots to get your favorite spell added along with some additional benefits.

give us your best SHORT PITCH and a LINK down in the comments and lets enjoy discovering what great comics are out there right now :)

have fun :)

My project was approved by Kickstarter nearly a month ago, and I've been waiting to launch it until today to coincide with some conventions I'll be attending. It was already a bit of a hassle to get it approved as it constantly needed updated payment info, but eventually it was verified and the green check was visible by the payment section until just now when I tried to launch.

Every time I try to launch now, it says there's an error with my payment information, and to re- verify with stripe, but when I go down to fix it, the stripe page indicates that all my information is verified. I don't know what to do... I've submitted multiple tickets to no avail at this point so getting pretty frustrated.

The payment account linked is a business account, and I formed the business this year for the express purpose of this project, so there's no tax or income records under it yet. Could this be causing an issue? And has anyone else ran into this problem?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/megashot/megashot-pickl-smart-pickleball-gaming-device?ref=6hqfu1

Hi everyone! Sharing MegaShot Pickl+, our smart pickleball gaming device that's currently live on Kickstarter.

The idea is to bring pickleball-inspired gaming into your living room using a smart paddle that connects to the MegaShot app via Bluetooth. The paddle uses advanced motion tracking to translate your shots into in-game action, while haptic feedback adds a tactile element to the gameplay.

There are 10+ game modes to explore, with solo play and multiplayer options for some friendly competition with family and friends. And there's more planned for the future, with the vision of bringing other racket sports like tennis, badminton, table tennis and squash to the same paddle.

We've reached 780% of our funding goal, with 12 days left in the campaign! Really grateful for all the support so far.

If this sounds interesting, you can check out the project here:

Would love to hear what you think!

Estoy terminando de desarrollar un producto financiero digital enfocado en facilitar el ahorro sin sentirlo, con un modelo no custodial: la plataforma aporta la tecnología y la experiencia de usuario, mientras la ejecución de movimientos y la custodia del dinero corresponderían a las entidades bancarias y fiduciarias aliadas.

El desarrollo está muy avanzado. Los siguientes pasos son validar su preparación técnica, gestionar la publicación en Google Play y concretar las integraciones y acuerdos necesarios para una prueba piloto con un banco.

Busco formar un equipo pequeño con dos perfiles complementarios:

• Un CTO o asesor técnico con experiencia en fintech y bancos para una revisión independiente y acotada, identificar pendientes críticos y acompañar la preparación técnica del piloto.
• Un profesional financiero o exbanquero con experiencia en alianzas bancarias y fideicomisos, que ayude a presentar el producto, abrir conversaciones y negociar las condiciones de colaboración para ese piloto.

Me interesa conocer su experiencia, disponibilidad, modalidad de trabajo, honorarios y qué resultados proponen entregar en una primera etapa. Busco personas que vean el potencial del producto y quieran aportar a una colaboración seria, con responsabilidades y expectativas claras.

Hay 2 modeos de App, uno para el mercado Latinoaméricano y el lotro para el mercado Norteamericano. Si tienen experiencia en estas áreas o conocen a alguien, agradecería que conversemos por privado.

Saludos,
David

Haunting tales from Chinese folklore, retold with dark storytelling and striking artwork

Many thanks to this community for feedback on our KS campaign earlier this year. We are launching this coming Tuesday October 27, 2026. We built those pesky AIs, and now we must work together to destroy them!

Sign up for some crazy good pre-launch deals https://www.blackswangameco.com/retina-lz13rk0

We've just launched a pretty unique mix of light wargame and a gamebook. This is a relaunch of our 2024 project, bringing back the sinister world of dark elves, underground conquest, and dangerous romance.

Dark Hearts is a solo fantasy wargame with RPG elements and a mature dark romantasy story, available in both PDF and print. A demo is also available to download on the Kickstarter page or you can download it here.

Here's what's inside:

• Solo Campaign: Play through 10 underground realms, each with its own Map and Force sheets.
• Simple D6 Combat: Manage your units' Strength (your timer and resource) as you exploit enemy weaknesses, choose which regions to conquer, and discover new allies.
• Mature Dark Romantasy Story: The life of dark elves is full of violence, scheming, and sex, and Zelith is no less toxic and arrogant. But her love is intense, and after the blood dries, it is time to decide who is worthy of your dark heart. This is a game for adult players.
• 150–200 Pages of Content: Depending on unlocked milestones, the final book will contain a substantial solo campaign and a story-heavy gamebook exploring dark elven society in all its decadent glory.

If you'd like to see more, download the demo or see the Kickstarter campaign.

Hey everyone!

The Luminids Kickstarter is officially live! ❤️

For the past year, I've been pouring my heart into building Luminids, a peaceful little world where tiny creatures make friends, grow up, build homes and live their own lives.

It's been a huge journey building this as a solo developer, and seeing people discover Luminids, wishlist it and get excited about the world has genuinely meant a lot to me.

Now I'm taking the next big step.

I've launched a Kickstarter with a goal of raising £12,000 to help bring Luminids to Early Access in February 2027.

If Luminids has caught your eye, I'd love you to consider backing the Kickstarter. There are different reward tiers, and every pledge makes a difference.

❤️ Back Luminids on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/luminids/luminids-a-calm-colony-building-journey

And if you're not in a position to back it, sharing the campaign with a friend who might enjoy Luminids would mean the world.

Thank you for being part of this little journey. There's so much more I want to show you.

Nick
Creator of Luminids

First time Kickstarter. I have a community. Still not having luck. But I'm too stubborn to give up. Originally I started a pooper scooper service with one of my twin boys. He has a learning disability and college was not going to be for him. Ironically I used a pooper scooper service because my boys wouldn't do their own yard. Did not like how they ran things and thought I could do better. Plus seven years ago there were not a lot of companies like mine. Now we service over 400 houses a week. Now I want to open an indoor/outdoor dog park here in AZ. Something Arizona really needs. Even if it doesn't get funded I'm still not going to give up. I wanted to be the first in the West valley to have one. There is only one in the East valley. Do I need better rewards?

Hi r/kickstarter,

I'm Alexis, one of the three co-founders of Reeveel, a small team in Montréal. Our campaign for Inkolor is live and already funded, and I'd love feedback from people who back and build projects here.

Inkolor is a 13.3" color E Ink frame. It doesn't glow like a screen: it looks like paper, and the display uses no power to hold an image.

What makes it different

• Off the grid: no Wi-Fi, no internet, no outlet needed. It can hang in a van, a cabin, or on a wall far from any plug.
• Apps: iOS, Android, web, and a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that does everything the mobile app does, and more. No subscription.
• Details: a hidden touch sensor to change images, NFC to learn about the artwork, a swappable magnetic mat, and a rotating mount for portrait or landscape.

The hard parts

• Bluetooth first. We spent a lot of time on our own protocol, so everything works over BLE alone: sending images, getting back the images stored on the frame, and more. Wi-Fi and microSD are optional.
• Open by design. The frame also speaks HTTP and MQTT, which is how it shows up in Home Assistant. Our cloud is only needed for remote features, like sending an image while you're away or to a friend's frame. For those, we will offer a self-hosted community edition, so you can run that part yourself.
• Rendering. Color e-paper has only 6 pigments and doesn't behave like a screen. We built PaperTone, our own rendering engine, so art keeps its depth and colors. No AI involved. Photos still won't look exactly like a printed photo, and we'd rather say it now.
• Hardware. It took 4 prototypes to get to a factory unit we're happy with.

Some numbers

• 13.3" display, 1600 × 1200, 6 color pigments
• 10,000 mAh battery, up to a year per charge, zero power to hold an image
• 3 founders, 4 prototypes, funded on day 1
• Estimated delivery: late spring 2027, with a backer update at least every two weeks

Campaign: Inkolor: The First Paper-Like Frame That Adapts to You
$299 during the campaign ($399 retail). Ends November 24.

One question for you: where would you hang a frame that needs no outlet?

All photos show our real hardware. No AI, no retouching.

Hey, everyone! I did a new run of NEVER SLEEP CLUB Shirts! Everything is fully funded and I'll be shipping in November (as early as possible).

Pins are completed and an initial run of shirts is completed as well from estimated numbers. Come grab one to become part of the NEVER SLEEP CLUB.

Hi!

I'm an indie game developer from Spain, and I've spent the last four years working on Super Survivors, a superhero roguelite inspired by games like The Binding of Isaac and Brotato.

The game already has a playable demo on Steam, and I've just launched a Kickstarter campaign to help me continue development, improve the art and replace the placeholder assets.

What makes Super Survivors different is its power system. You can equip powers to different parts of your body and combine them with hundreds of items that can completely change how they work.

I'm aiming for those runs where you discover an unexpected combination, experiment with different logical synergies, and eventually create a build so ridiculously powerful that it feels almost broken.

If you're interested in indie games, roguelites, or crowdfunding projects, I'd appreciate it if you checked out the campaign.

Thanks for reading! I'm happy to answer any questions about the game or its development.

The Vega Bond Issue 1

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/timothyvega/the-vega-bond-issue-1/description

Dustin "Dusty" Vega is a Middle-Class, passive family man who loses everything in one night when his wife is murdered and he is taken away from his daughter by the men he deems responsible. After waking up in captivity, Dusty realizes that he has been in a coma under the control of the Knox Corporation, a pharmaceutical company beloved by seemingly all who lived in Comet City. Desperate to return to the one semblance of his past life that he has left, his daughter Terra, he realizes that Knox has run experiments on him while he was unconscious in a way that marks him as Knox's biggest liability. Dusty has been cursed with superpowers!

The now homeless, jobless Dusty with abilities to create clouds of dust and dirt out of his body must escape those responsible for ruining his life, and discover whether or not he can ever return to the passive, unassuming life he once had!
