Kobold Press and the business of being in the Kickstarter business

So how are Kickstarter funds raised and spent at Kobold Press? As readers know, the company has delivered every Kickstarter it funded, and there’s a reason why. We treat Kickstarter as a budget for each project, using three steps to ensure that money raised to make games is spent to make games.

Step 1: Fund design and development first.
Step 2: Put the funds in escrow and spend as costs accrue.
Step 3: Count chickens after the game has shipped.
