In a recent post... http://www.thecoli.com/posts/17495130/
I spoke about not wanting to be apart of the gaming industry because I'd never get to work on anything outside of caucasian & asian characters.





Reminds me of water color square soft art work (but no associated game)

@BulletProof then mentioned I should use kickstarter to fund a game if I was really passionate about it.
After thinking about it I decided last night to make an Indigogo campaign https:///Q81H6DsOkA

But not for a game ..for my games trading service instead which is already functional. The plan was actually to use the profits from the service to fund independent software development anyway so it's basically two birds with one stone.


I was actually surprised that some of that stuff was getting thousands of dollars and people only had photos of empty stores and shit

Anyway throw ya boys some feedback, maybe I need to adjust somethings I never ran a funding campaign before. I always used my own money to fund my ideas.
Good looking out @BulletProof for the suggestion
