Hey fellow Kickstarter-ites...

I've just launched my first campaign and I'm already feeling the nervous pang that will undoubtedly get worse until we reach our goal. But I'm having a blast, and every backer feels like a little victory. I'm also thrilled with the response the video is getting -- there's a trick at the end that seems to be fooling everyone. Yay. If you get a chance, check it out: http://kck.st/disillusioned
And send me whatever projects you're Kickstarting for. I love to see what people are working on!

An epic tale called "Dirty Bones"

Looks like a cool project Matt...good luck! We just launched our "Dirty Bones" project yesterday as well, it's about the coolest dogs and cats that you'll ever see! Vividly drawn by professional comic book artist Mario "OMG" Gully and colored by one of the best in the industry: Thomas Mason! Please check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/754131023/dirty-bones

Good luck with it, the project looks fantastic and I have backed. There is one thing that I couldn't find on the page; how will the series be released? You had digital downloads for certain backer tiers but I presume the series will be available to people outside of Kickstarter backers. Will it be available outside of the US as well?

Hey Louise! Thanks for backing! Yes, the series will eventually be released to people outside of Kickstarter, and I believe that will include people outside the U.S. We're currently looking at several platforms to release on -- because the series director has many connections in the new media world from her first web series, we have inroads at different web studios where we might take it. I'll definitely keep everyone up to date on that as we move forward. :)

@matt Rockstar video! Just backed you. Very good example of how to entertain and also provide all the information backers are seeking.

@kumbricia - Feedback: Think the video would be good for people that know you, but for strangers I think it could use a little more emotion :). Have you seen (How To Use Kickstarter To Fund Your Next Book Project): http://www.authormedia.com/how-to-use-k ... k-project/

@DirtyBones - Killer illustrations! I've included some articles (interviews/tips/resources) related to comic book Kickstarters below.

Awesome! Thanks so much! Hit a slump in backers today, but I guess that's to be expected. Gonna try to release an update video this week which will hopefully start driving traffic again.

I just looked at your kickstarter page and it looks awesome! I really like your video. I think you have a nice balance of you talking and other things, and it's actually funny. Good luck!
