Crowdfund Bookie, August 18 - 24: Chroma Squad, Monochroma, DwarfCorp
The Crowdfund Bookie crunches data from select successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns that ended during the week and produces pretty charts for you to look at. This week in crowdfunding, the Kickstarter campaigns for Chroma Squad, Monochroma, DwarfCorp, Insignificant, Alum, Labyrinthine Dreams and Batz ended. Chroma Squad , a management-style game in which players run a "sentai" TV studio with actors and stuntmen, earned the most money this week ($97,148), and had the most backers of the group (3,964). Nowhere Studios' Monochroma , a puzzle platformer described as "Limbo meets Ico," boasted the highest average pledge per person, with each funder averaging a $55.07. Check out the week's crowdfunding results and our pretty charts after the break.
