Crowdfund Bookie, August 25 - 31: Fran Bow, Revolution 60
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. It was a quiet week in crowdfunding, as the Indiegogo project for Fran Bow and the Kickstarter projects for Revolution 60, SOS Saga and Shiden ended. Fran Bow earned the most money this week ($28,320), and also had the most backers of the projects, with 1,100 people funding the game. The highest average pledge per person went to Revolution 60 ($32.47), a narrative-focused game that is described as "Heavy Rain meets Mass Effect." Check out the results for the week and our fancy charts after the break.
iOS sci-fi game Revolution 60 takes a stand on Kickstarter
Giant Spacekat, an indie outfit in Boston, is seeking funds through Kickstarter to finish its sci-fi game Revolution 60. Revolution 60 is set in the future and follows an all-female cast including protagonist Holiday, an assassin for an organization called Chessboard, whose crew is charged with investigating a malfunctioning American orbital weapons platform. Moral choices will play a pivotal role in the game and affect the outcome. Frank Wu, Hugo award-winning artist, is one of the chief contributors at Giant Spacekat. Noted anime voice actress and producer Amanda Winn-Lee is also on board. With 29 days to go, Giant Spacekat is looking to secure $5,000 to finish the game for launch in March on iOS and has already exceeded half that total. If the drive reaches $10,000, Giant Spacekat promises a PC port; $20,000 will secure Revolution 60 for Mac.
