I quit my corporate job to start a game studio a couple months ago. I have been trying to bootstrap the company as much as possible without outside funding, while at the same time keeping an eye out for alternative funding sources. I discovered Kickstarter a few months back. After meeting with a few people who have successfully funded their projects on it and also people from Kickstarter, I decided to put my first game project on it. (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pepwuper/the-giant-of-the-river-thames-little-megans-giant). It's also on the Recommended page (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/by/recommended).

So far it hasn't really been very active, and I am not sure how it will pan out. Does anyone have any experience with kickstarter or this type of fund raising? I'd love to hear what you think about this model, and what you think about my project on Kickstarter.

Finally, if you like the game (playable demo on the project page), please support the project! You can make a pledge (and get awesome rewards!), or forward it on to people you think might be interested. Thanks! (Project page: http://kck.st/cNnvZS)
