We are far off but still in the thick of it.

Hello Kickstarter forum. I just want to share my experience with all of you here. I want to let everyone know what has worked and what I feel could set a project for failure.
My project is no doubt one of the best of its kind. We had made so many mistakes in the beginning that we are paying for it now. I honestly think that we would have way more funding if we had done the right things to begin. Our friends and family have not pledged which was completely foreseeable. If we had convinced them at the beginning that serge of backers would have lift us way beyond where we are now.
One of the things that has really worked out for us was pledging on other similar projects. When we contacted those creators we have had a serge of backers come from 2 other projects. Same as cross promotion.
I really like what we were able to do on reddit. We were able to engage with our direct fan base and find out what they liked or didn't like about our game.
I want to take everyone on a journey with us as we reclaim our project and try to get it funded before our pledge period is up. The things that I am going to try to do is contact more media large or small. Increase updates on Kickstarter page. I really want to engage our backers as much as possible and try to inspire them to get others to pledge. I believe it is not over until you say it is. Anything you desire is worth way more than hard work. Follow us and see how this all works out. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wh ... ns-revenge
