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.
