8-Bit Funding Opens for Business

January 24, 2011

A new crowdfunding website dedicated exclusively to the video game industry called 8-Bit Funding launches today. Much like Kickstarter.com, the site gives "investors" rewards and perks related to the game project in exchange for funding the project.

"The gaming community has always been independent and almost always supports an internal, exclusive community as opposed to a catch-all," says founder Geoff Gibson. "The idea behind 8-Bit Funding comes with this same idea. While there are similar websites out there, their broad focus immediately makes them less appealing to gamers and game developers who have to create a project and market it to a community who might not understand what an indie game even is."

The site launches with seven projects that need funding: Cardinal Quest, The Bookeeper, Dreamcasters’ Duel, Kung Fu Kingdom, Excruciating Guitar Voyage 2, Galactic Adventure, Inc. and One-Eyed Monsters.

You can check the all out at http://www.8bitfunding.com.

Recently i started a website and purchased about 5,000 Twitter followers from fanbullet.com for our Twitter page. The results were amazing. This makes a big profit facebook marketing for my website and my business starts growing very rapidly.

Ok, but is there somewhere I can send money to make Fez come out faster?

E. Zachary KnightHow do we determine who get's the game/captcha thingy? Is there a certain posting threshhold users have to meet before it is turned off?05/23/2012 - 2:25pm
