DIY Game Funding
This is a step by step guide on how to fund a game without using Kickstarter and without paying money out of pocket. That's it. Don't pay me for this, it's free and only took me a couple minutes to write. Kickstarter takes too much money and I don't like being beholden to people who have already paid for a finished product, as I can't control the entire production process. I also don't have money in my pocket to spend on products which may or not may not sell. This way, you have given people enough value from the onset, and if you finish the product they get the full product at a reduced price for helping you fund it, great for everybody! This is the method I used to fund https://davidson925.itch.io/working-for-the-corp
