Prosper Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I did an appeal. They felt I didn't follow the guideliness which is bogus. But then after considering the guidelines could be smoke and mirrors for: we just don't like your project no matter what. redacted
Gorth Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Thread moved to gaming section (I assume your kickstarter project is game related?) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Hurlshort Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I think you should start a petition at Change.org. It's probably discrimination.
Gfted1 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Huh, I didnt know you had to get Kickstarts permission. I thought you just start a project and it either lives or dies by reaching the funding goal. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Gorgon Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 They probably assume part of the PR process, and getting a bunch of projects that turn Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Huh, I didnt know you had to get Kickstarts permission. I thought you just start a project and it either lives or dies by reaching the funding goal. Yeah, and you also need to be located in the US if I recall correctly. The Double Fine videos actually mentioned the approval process in passing. I don't think PR has anything to do with it by the wya, Kickstarter had plenty of failed projects in the past, and a lot that already were successful and worked out well before Double Fine. It just became "mainstream" afterwards.
Lexx Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Well, I'll guess they looked at the submited Kickstarter page and guess which project seem reasonable and which one does not (what else should they do? Maybe google the firm name, if available, and that's it). When it comes to Prosper... Well, looking at his threads, I am not at all surprised that he didn't got approved. I think nobody from us really is. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Prosper Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 I deleted my kickstarter account. I didn't risk confirming my thoery, but I think the video I uploaded for my project was of me just laying on my bed. 13 seconds of head scratching actually. I will start over next week. I also have a few tips just in case I am wrong, maybE I did upload the proper video. Make sure you keep the what you will do with the money part down to maybe one quarter of the project main page. the other three quarters should focus entirely on your game design. I also think I should of included some concept art / banner images. Mr LExx if I am correct but prosper's threads are renown for being quality and having certain qualities. I cause a split between those who love my work and those who just hate it. True for art and programming projects. I received some tips about how to better inform people what it really is I am doing. Be back in a week or so to tell you if I get rejected again. redacted
