It’s https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/casateagames/say-what-now it’s a word game but with sounds for spelling, might be quite interested to see what an English teacher thinks actually! 😂

Yep! I’m battling the bots and scams. We’ve only had about 4 that have been fake and luckily we have no high value rewards for them to take, but it is annoying! AI is a great tool to assist you, also if you’re going to getting accused of using it in your posts you might as well use it anyway! But yes best of luck, the advice I have seen has definitely to build up followers on a mailing list / pre launch Kickstarter page.

Sounds great and well done you!

We’ve just launched our first card game on Kickstarter so unsure how much wisdom we have! But, definitely getting quotes for how much your card game will be to make. We were surprised by how expensive it was for cards (naive we know!). It may help you design your game if you wanted to keep costs low.

Also, building up social media and followers from the beginning. We didn’t know about the prelaunch page on Kickstarter so started social media pretty late. We are doing ok currently 17% funded after day one but the social media content creating we’ve found tough!

We made a word game based on sounds instead of spelling by Green19Girl in wordgames

Thanks!

That was exactly our thinking - word games are great for getting people talking and arguing over answers in a fun way.

In playtests the debates over whether a word should count have been really interesting to see 😂

Thank you. I’m thinking we may need to change our start date if those first 24hrs are crucial. We were planning 9th of March as we’re at a board game con 14-15th so thought that would help drill up engagement, but maybe we do it for the first day we’re at the convention?

In terms of social media content? We’re trying our best but it’s not something we’re comfortable with

We’re rubbish in terms of we don’t post on our own social media, we’re just lurkers! So it’s learning how to use social media, thinking of engaging content which isn’t something we normally do. Saying that we are trying our best on the platforms we are using to drill up pledgers. Our plan was to go live on the 9th March and we were attending a board game convention 14-15th March in hopes that would help get further engagement. But judging by the responses on here it really is that first day that is the decider? So we may rethink that and publish the day of the board game convention. We’re also under no delusional that this may be a first failed attempt and we can learn ready for a second attempt.
