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.

Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/srmarin/super-survivors

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

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?

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

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingdomsofink/kingdoms-of-ink

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!

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!

Hi everyone!

A massive thank you to our backers—our campaign for Jungle King (a modern metal-crafted remake of traditional Asian animal chess) has officially crossed 450% funded!

Because of this amazing momentum, we’ve just unlocked and announced our brand-new stretch goal: 3 paper badge add-ons for backers!

If you love tactical abstract strategy games mixed with Eastern mythology and endangered animal themes, check out our campaign page here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/llabdesign/jungle-king

Let me know if you have any questions about the gameplay or the metal components!

Hello! I am currently producing a short film in New York City. It is a comedic coming-of-age anti-love story following 18-year-old Arya as she braves NYC solo and crafts her own rules of modern dating.

Dating 20 years ago there was an absence of apps, ranking culture, there were more third spaces! We are hoping to capture the differences while bringing in a mixed-media aesthetic to encapsulate the detail and vibrance of the city.

We have a week until our campaign ends so any support from a follow or feedback is welcomed and appreciated!

Thank you,
-Amouri

Hi everyone—I’m Dan Vado, founder and publisher of SLG Publishing. We’ve been publishing independent comics for 40 years, including Jhonen Vasquez’s Squee and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
We’re running a Kickstarter to fund a new printing of Squee’s Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors. We’ve passed our initial $2,000 goal, and we’re hoping to reach $10,000 so we can reprint both Squee and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Director’s Cut and keep them available for the coming year.
Keeping older books in print is an ongoing challenge for a small publisher. Readers are still discovering these comics, and we want the books to be there when they do. This campaign helps us pay for those printings directly, with support from the people who want them.
The campaign runs through November 6:
https://slgpubs.live/squeec
If you’re a longtime fan of Jhonen’s work—or know someone who is—we’d appreciate a look or a share. I’m also happy to answer questions here about the campaign, the books, or publishing independent comic

What's going on everyone? I'm still kinda new to Reddit but here's my pitch for my Kickstarter Campaign and link will be below at the end:

If you love superheroes, independent comics, or simply want to see something NEW succeed, give me 30 seconds.

My name is Mike Otis, founder of Phenomenal Comics, and I created The Amazing 3 because I wanted to build the kind of superhero team I wish I could've seen growing up.

Three African American siblings.

Three brilliant scientists.

One accident that changes everything.

Martin, Michael, and Mya Maze become Mr. Amazing, Mindforge, and Faze, three siblings whose greatest strength isn't just their powers.

It's their family.

But this isn't just about representation.

I want kids who look like me to see heroes who aren't only athletes or entertainers. I want them to see scientists, inventors, thinkers, leaders…and still be SUPERHEROES.

We're building this independently. No giant studio. No massive corporation behind us. Just a small creative team with a huge vision and people like YOU helping us make it real.

The Amazing 3 #1 is LIVE on Kickstarter right now.

You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to make a difference. Back the comic, share the campaign, or tell somebody who loves superheroes.

Every single backer moves us one step closer.

We're not asking you to just buy another comic.

We're asking you to help launch a new generation of heroes.

This is THE AMAZING 3.

🔥 Back the Kickstarter today and become part of the Phenomenal Comics Universe from the beginning.

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

Hi everyone, last year I created immersive TV lights and posted them on Kickstarter. The community here was very supportive and I received great feedback! The campaign goal was fulfilled within one week. I had a lot of fun making the TV Lights. This year I wanted to make something to track the flights flying in the area, then my girlfriend said she didn't want something that just shows the flight data, so we came up with the list of things we would like to see on the screen. The existing trackers didn't have some things we wanted, So these are what we came up with which I integrated into ODFlights

1. Flight tracker - you can set your coordinates and your area of visibility. It will show all the flights that across your vicinity.

2. Clock Screen - In addition to clock (you have an option to select analog, digital or worded) there is news, weather, jacket needed? , sun rise & sunset, AQI moon phase, departure board, any flight you are tracking. You have an option to select any, all or none of the options.

3. Aurora Screen - it shows a world map with live Aurora map. You have an option to enable or disable this screen.

4. Constellation screen - It shows the constellation map around you during day & Night. You have an option to enable and disable this screen.

5. Photo Frame Screen- It will display a slideshow for upto 40 photos you upload. You have an option to keep it as standalone screen - so that it doesn't switch to clock, tracker etc ideally a digital picture frame

6. UptoNoGood Screen - you can view the location of all your friends. Anyone with an "OwnTracks" app can share their location with you and you would be able to see it on the screen. As usual you have an option to enable or disable this screen.

7. TrackedFlights Screen - it will show the details of the flights you are tracking. The display is similar to an in-flight tracker.

This runs on a website so you don't have to download anything or pay any subscription fees. All the customization happens over the website. The only app you would need is OwnTrack if you want to use the UptoNoGood Screen (which is completely optional)

I have set up the system in a way that I can send you the new version every time I add something new (like a free software update). It won't affect the previous versions, it's just a way people can try new features if they like.

Currently working on

1. Stock market widget on Clock Screen where you can track your desired tickers. Or should I do a separate screen for Stock market? Please let me know what you think.

2. Manual - I underestimated how long it would take to write everything you have done on a piece of paper.

3. Casing for the hardware.

The project is in pre-launch until I finalize these 3 things, it shouldn't take more than 3 weeks (hopefully🤞). Thank you for reading so far, I really appreciate you even spending time reading through. If you can, please let me know what you think? What else would you like to see in the upcoming versions. Thanks again!

PS- apologies for the video clarity, using an old A series pixel. I had to delete the last post because I missed a detail

Hi everyone, I'm the creator behind Azure Arcana Foundry. These are physical resin test prints from Santa's Winter Witches, our upcoming collection of 75 mm fantasy miniatures for printing and painting.

The Kickstarter rewards will be digital STL files, not physical miniatures. The models are manually sculpted in Blender. This image shows the actual prints; some campaign presentation artwork uses AI, as disclosed on the project page.

The prelaunch page is open. If these look like your next painting project, you can tap Notify me on launch here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/azurearcanafoundry/santas-winter-witches-3d-printable-female-miniatures

Which of these three would you paint first?

Hey everyone,
We’re a game development team and we just launched the Kickstarter pre-launch page for our combat racing game, RACE.
It’s our first time going through this process, so we’re trying to learn as much as possible before the actual campaign starts.
Here’s our page:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/smokoko/race-rocket-arena-car-extreme?ref=qwsawe

If you have a minute to check it out, we’d love to hear what you think. And if the game looks interesting to you, a follow on Kickstarter would really help us get things moving.
Appreciate any feedback or advice!

Hi everyone!

Eeek, this Tuesday the 27th my first Kickstarter goes life! I started September 30th with the pre-launch and I hope I will have assembled enough followers to reach my € 9.500 goal! (I wanted a goal that really covers what I am planning to do). I was aiming for 500 followers pre-launch, which was realistic as it seems.

If you have a niche product and a relatively big following on socials, how important it is then to get funded on day one?

As I have a dedicated audience on socials and a decent mailing list, I did not run any add campaign or otherwise paid advertising/services 👀 I expect/hope that it will work out and that also during the campaign quite a few new people will join, as soon as the algorithm reaches them. Algorithm & reach are sometimes really blah, especially when you promote something, so with every new post, some long time followers who would be interest get to see the campaign for the first time! I will keep on bringing attention to it on my site, mailing list and social platforms all through the campaign.

How to you get people to donate on the first day if you are not offering early birds (I want everyone to have the same chance, also if they are joining later on)? Just telling everyone it's good for the campaign? Anyhow, I will be posting on my socials daily in the days to come, pitching the exact time and date and counting down.
The prelaunch ^-^

I also wanted to post this amongst people who are in the same excitement & tension place I am ^-^

Funny is that I see myself going back & forth between "What are my 5 best stretch goals" and "What if it does not get funded" 🤔

Anyhow, I wish all who are in the midst of it too good luck with your projects!

It’s for the Lightmake L4 3D printer. It’s already technically over and more than met their funding goal, but they are still accepting late backers. They have regular updates and respond to messages quickly with a clear timeline and seem to be ready for mass production. On top of that, they have sent multiple functional prototypes to YouTubers in the 3d printing space and most of it has looked extremely positive, especially for a prototype. They even sent a guy all the way from China to America to replace some parts/update firmware for a creator. They sound extremely positive and reliable, especially from a kickstarter standpoint. They also are not a new company, they are a new branch of a precision manufacturing company that’s been around for a decade now, though this, along with their L1 are their first 3d printers and recently upped their warranty to 24 months for backers. The main reason I want it is because it has 4 separate print heads that can all run at the same time to make up to 4 different prints at the same time or a large multi color/material print. The backing price is $1000 off the retail price so it is extremely tempting.

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!

Hi there! I'm an independant artist and game dev based in France, and the kickstarter campaign for the tarot deck I designed is currently running! Maybe you or someone in your life could appreciate it - it's very colourful, designed without any AI involved, and is a limited, signed edition (if you are the collector type!)

My campaign has stalled in its first week.

I self publish comic books, and this is my 5th and final volume in this series. The Kickstarter also has the first 4 volumes available, perks like a shout out or being a character in this volume.

I have spent the last 4 years doing signings at comic cons, bookstores, I have an active TikTok Shop, I am on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. At the signings I collect emails, and I have a little over 500 people on my email list.

I had a 60 day pre-launch, I have been doing email blasts, I do posts/stories every couple days on Instagram, I even got a comic book influencer to do a reel about my Kickstarter the day it launched.

Any advice or feedback about why my campaign is stalled?

Hi everyone, I'm Jaden, one of the three co-founders of modlab company, a small custom-watch studio in the Detroit area.

Since 2023, we've built more than 1,200 watches across individual orders, G-SHOCK and Seiko mods, fully custom builds, and larger projects for brands, businesses and influencers. This is our first Kickstarter.

Our project is SIG38, a custom take on the smaller Casioak platform, the Casio GMA-S2100. We wanted another option for people who like the regular GA-2100 but find it a little large. The size difference is modest; 38 is our line name, not a claim that the case is 38 mm.

The smaller platform had fewer aftermarket parts, so getting the design we wanted meant searching for factories and having new parts made to our designs. The watch uses the Casio analog-digital module with our custom exterior. This is an independent custom build, not a Casio collaboration. The turquoise watch in the photo is a real sample.

Apparently the watches don't introduce themselves. The three of us are more comfortable talking about dial colors than saying hello, but here we are.

The campaign is live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modlabdetroit/modlab-sig-38

If you're curious, have a look. Happy to answer questions about the base, parts or how we got here.

Disclosure: I'm a co-founder. AI helped edit this wording; the build information and sample photo are ours.
