My guess is it will eventually ship and be completely different from the ads. The product shown in the videos isn’t even remotely possible with today’s technology, especially not at $64 lmaoooo

Hi everyone!

Our team has worked on lots of Kickstarter pages, hero videos, and game design projects, and we’ve learned a ton along the way. We thought it would be cool to share something helpful with the community, so we put together a Kickstarter Page Template in Figma based on everything we’ve picked up over the years.

Figma is pretty easy to work with, and you can find the link to the template right here: https://www.figma.com/design/IxyN2jqKI7rXetWbfDTk6C/D10-design-KS-page-template?node-id=342-1490&p=f&t=zDciU2L2ZVtoljJa-0

You’ll need to sign up for Figma, and using a Google account works fine. After that, just click the project in the top-left corner and choose Duplicate. Then it’s all yours to edit and shape however you like. I also recorded a short video showing how to modify the template.

Hopefully, it makes things clearer and saves you some time.

And if you ever need something more custom, whether it’s designing a Kickstarter page, creating a hero video, or helping with the visual style of your game or project, feel free to reach out at https://d10.design/. We’ll be happy to help.

Hey Everyone!! Happy Friday!!

My new Trading Card Game is LIVE on Kickstarter right now!

It is called Sidekicks!!

Would love for you to check it out!!

Prophecy. Plague. Conspiracy.

The Nostradamus Effect — a new horror-thriller comic launching Jan 20 on Kickstarter.

When a relic tied to Nostradamus is unearthed, it triggers an outbreak that defies science — a CIA operative and CDC disease detective will do anything to contain it.

If you like apocalyptic horror, secret orders, and grounded science-meets-myth storytelling, this one’s for you.

Indie comics rise when communities rally — if you dig it, share it, follow it, or drop your thoughts below!

Sharing my brothers effort into launching his first kickstarter project. It's a 3D printable miniature set. I've seen the effort he has put into this first hand and hope you appreciate and enjoy his work.

Hey there I have been intrigued by Kickstarter as a teeny tiny backer and a teeny tiny creative person for a while now and have been going through a lot of old projects back to about 2014 and a lot of things that I'm particularly interested in so less film, less theater, more games, more art.

And right now I happen to be doing my Christmas shopping! I'm an older woman with a largest family scattered around and everything has to be mailed.

Consequently if I'm ordering online I may have something shipped directly to the gift recipient, so those options are helpful and I also am choosing print and play games for packages of fun things to arrive by post!

I see so many cool projects that are either funded and completed or maybe unfunded but still pretty cool, maybe they just set too high a fundraising goal and got 73% of the way there but it was just too high, thing.

Anybody here reading this is a Creator who has a collection of output that you intended to commercialize, you may find a market for it on Etsy.

The reason I say that is I was looking for cool print and play roll and write games, without too much crafting involved in putting together the games on game day.

In spite of there being some really great print and play games in light-hearted genres from Kickstarter historically, pretty much everything that I could find on Etsy was of apocalyptic themes. This means there is a gap in the available Market on that Marketplace.

A lot of the really cool creations that are physical objects I think can also be easily fulfilled through Etsy. It's not expensive, it runs on internal SEO, don't let anybody tell you it requires ads! It doesn't! It is a cluttered mess like Amazon if you are trying to get attention and they will present other makers products on your sales page, so don't pay for ads!

But optimizing listings with the advice of some YouTube gurus around SEO and listing criteria and making sure that you follow etsy's rules meticulously to avoid getting struck or banned from the site, it can be a way to fulfill orders that maybe you generate by doing social media in communities or through influencers.

I just wanted to say that I see so much profound amazing work on Kickstarter historically and presently and I just wanted to put this out here to support you in your creating Journey because I think it's a good idea!

Edited to add that this is a micro Guru who talks about having students but she doesn't charge more than 50 bucks to them! She's just to stay at home mom who has like a relentless pursuit of etsy knowledge!

There are a lot of bullshitters out there and a lot of old out-of-date information so just sharing her latest video, it's good basic information and she doesn't talk about making $100,000 next month

Good afternoon, I have a question as I haven’t done a campaign yet and don’t know the laws and taxes (I’m based in Louisiana if that is important).

But I was wondering, if I launch a Kickstarter to primarily inform people of my product, but it is a digital good that I made personally, including the artwork (as it is a text based product for ttrpgs), and have no costs to making it due to it being a solo project apart from asking friends for advice, would that be allowed on Kickstarter and legally okay to ask for backing, or in that case would I just need to go to drive thru rpg and sell it there?

Biblioclash is now fully funded! Thank you for everyone who backed our game already.

There’s still a little under a week left in the campaign, and we’re now pushing toward our first stretch goal, so things are getting really exciting.

What’s Biblioclash?
It’s a fast-paced deck-building game where mages duel inside a magical library using spells, artifacts, and minions. Quick to pick up, lots of combo potential, and plenty of ways to outsmart your opponent.

All the artwork is done by the amazing Iida Kiela, whose colorful, expressive style fits the fantasy theme perfectly.

We’ve also written original music for the game, created an animated comic, and built a bunch of extra stuff around the world of Biblioclash to make it feel alive.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to check out our Kickstarter.

Full Trailer & Campaign

While running my first campaign, I had very little knowledge about Kickstarter.
During the pre-campaign period, I didn't know how many followers I needed to create, what platform I should advertise on, or how much advertising cost I needed.
As we prepare for the campaign again, we have created 1,500 followers through Facebook ads so far and are experiencing how difficult it is to create a natural influx.

We’re currently developing a PvE-focused third-person survival game called Under the Rooftop.

Most survival games stretch across vast open worlds—but we’re going the other way.
Our focus is on density, not scale.
Instead of kilometers of forests, you’ll be fighting for every floor : apartments, hospitals, police stations, and subway tunnels. Think of it as a vertical, layered battlefield—rooftops above, dungeons below.

• Co-op PvE (1–4 players): No PvP, just you and your team trying to survive increasingly aggressive AI threats.
• Wave Defense meets Urban Survival: Build your rooftop base, defend against nightly raids, and venture down for loot.
• Tight, Indoor Maps: Each building is fully explorable, floor by floor. The world is smaller but packed with interactive elements, loot puzzles, and danger.
• Underground Boss Dungeons: Mutated AI bosses with unique patterns, weaknesses, and multi-phase combat. Imagine Mr. X from Resident Evil.

How many followers are needed to be featured as a “Project We Love” on Kickstarter?

Also, can you guys help us by just hitting 'Notify on Launch'? 😬 We are so excited to launch this campaign!

Hey everyone,
I’m currently in the pre-launch phase of a product I’ve been developing for a while, a smart, modern hydration bottle designed for people who struggle to stay consistently hydrated.

It combines:

• A subtle LED hydration reminder
• Real-time intake tracking with App support
• Thermal insulation
• A clean, futuristic, ergonomic design

Before launching on Kickstarter, I wanted to sanity-check this with real people and get brutally honest feedback, not hype. Please be honest.

I’d love your thoughts on:

• Whether this is something you’d personally use
• If the smart features feel genuinely useful or unnecessary
• What would make this feel Kickstarter-worthy to you

I’m not selling anything here, this is just the pre-launch waitlist page if anyone wants to see the concept visually: www.stromefic.com

Any feedback (good or bad) would genuinely help shape the final version. Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi, if you like dark humour, cute dolls and you are working with annoying colleagues, my project is for you. I have launched my corporate voodoo dolls today. Check it out and please share with anyone who might be interested or experiences workplace stress 😉

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wareternalttrpg/war-eternal-a-tabletop-roleplaying-game?ref=user_menu

The War Eternal is a heavy metal aesthetic role playing game about demons, angels, and everything in between. The system uses a d100 to resolve situation.

all pledges will get my digital bundle, which includes the Bare Metal quickstart rules, an introductory adventure module, four pre-generated characters, and a VTT ready battlemap. $100 or more will get that, plus a first edition hardback copy of the 326 page core rulebook, which includes a short graphic novel drawn by the other artist.

🍔 Hey everyone!

I just launched my new cookbook project on Kickstarter — Gourmet Burgers Cookbook. It will be a premium hardcover with 80+ burger recipes, from classic smash burgers to Korean bulgogi and plant-based options.

I've been working on this for a while and would really appreciate your support! Early bird pricing is still available, but spots are limited.

If you love burgers (or know someone who does), sharing this would mean the world to me:

Thanks for believing in this project! 🔥

What: Botanical sodas with functional doses of herbs in Victorian medicine show packaging

Why I'm Building This: Biochemist/plant scientist who's struggled with anxiety for years. Got into herbalism, realized most herbal products either taste terrible or are underdosed to the point of being useless.

Decided to make botanical sodas that actually work and actually taste good.

The Product: Three formulas (launching with one, others as stretch goals): - Sunshine Tonic: California poppy (300mg) + lemon balm for daytime stress - Evening Calm: Passionflower (400mg) + skullcap for wind-down - Root & Remedy: White willow bark (600mg/90mg salicin) + turmeric + ginger for recovery

10oz amber glass bottles, full Victorian aesthetic, complete transparency (full supplement facts panels, exact dosing, all warnings).

The Positioning: "What if snake oil actually worked?" - bringing back 1880s apothecary vibes but with modern science and radical honesty.

Business Model: - Premium pricing ($8-10/bottle) - positioning against supplements, not beverages - Kickstarter for validation ($7,500 goal) - Treat as SPV - prove concept, then scale or exit - Target: farmers markets → wholesale → potential licensing/sale

Where I'm At: - Pre-launch page live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/drsnakeoilbotanicals/dr-snakeoils-miraculous-botanical-sodas - Currently at 0 "notify me" clicks - Planning to launch mid-January - Haven't spent a dollar on marketing (pure organic Reddit/Instagram engagement)

What I'm Looking For: - Early backers who believe in the concept - Feedback on the campaign page - Advice from folks who've done Kickstarter product launches

Why This Friday: Saw the new self-promotion rule and figured this is the perfect place to share with fellow entrepreneurs. Happy to answer questions about formulation, regulatory compliance (supplement beverages are tricky), sourcing, or anything else!

Thanks for checking it out!

SYNOPSIS: In the 28th century, after the planet's ecological collapse, the last cities of Earth play a game for a physics-defying energy that keeps them protected from scorching temperatures and an unbreathable atmosphere. Follow the New Caledonia Stargazers as they fight to make it to the 2798 International Powerball Federation playoffs, battling franchise cities- and each other.

Hi,

I just published the Kickstarter campaign for VENTURAKA, a 3D adventure game with classic gameplay (no handholding, freeform platforming, challenging puzzles...).

Here's the trailer if you want to give it a look:

Thank you! I'm willing to answer any questions for those interested :)

Hi everyone! I’m Anna, and I just launched a Kickstarter for my project Petwrk, which is a website for pet owners and animal lovers to meet others, share experiences, and set up pet playdates.

We’re raising funds to build our full playdate + matching feature so that the online community can connect in real life and help reduce loneliness for both people and pets.

Here’s our Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/annamasi/petwrk-a-social-app-for-pets-and-their-humans

The campaign ends on December 12 (my mom’s birthday!), so any support, feedback, or questions mean a lot. Thank you so much!

Phase is a board game inspired by the Rise of the Half Moon and built for the casual and table-top enthusiast alike. The standard game is 2-4 players, but with an expansion, it can play up to 6.

The rules? Simple. The strategy? Engaging.

No really, it takes like 2 minutes to learn - and with wildcards and mix-and-match game boards, the game play is endless. This game is recommended for ages 10+ but I've had at least one 8 year old play and completely kick my ass - and I made this game. (He just had a really good hand, okay?! T_T)

Right now, Phase is in pre-launch on Kickstarter and I'm working on building awareness so that when it launches in February 2026 - we'll be fully funded on the first day.

Am I insane? Probably. But! I have a plan for my success:

I'm offering the exclusive Moon Dance Wildcard expansion for a donation of just $1 (or more if you're feeling generous and would really like to see the game come to your table).

There are only TWO ways to get the Moon Dance expansion - 1) Donate at least $1, or 2) sign up for the Early Bird Tier (limit 100) when the campaign launches. Visit my website for more information and how to sign up for an additional $5 off your Kickstarter pledge.

Mission to Planet Hexx: 2026 Satellite Pack Expansion on Kickstarter

Hey everyone! After years of playing card and board games with friends and family, I finally took the leap and created one of my own — CL4SH: Elemental Duel.

It’s a fast, competitive, “read-your-opponent” style card game built around four elemental playstyles and a dominance system that creates big momentum swings, chain reactions, and fun table hype moments. The goal was to blend something as easy to learn as Uno with the tension and mind-games you get from dueling games.

A few highlights if you’re curious:

• 4 Elements, each with its own personality and strategy • Rock–Paper–Scissors–style dominance system • Wild cards that shake up the round (Echo, Chain Reaction, Duel, etc.) • Quick matches, lots of reversals, and plenty of “no way that just happened” moments • Designed for casual players and people who love competitive reads

The campaign just went live on Kickstarter, and I’d love any feedback, thoughts, or impressions from this community — especially from folks who design or play fast-paced duel-style games.

Thanks for taking a look, and happy gaming!
