Welcome to this week’s Kickstarter Roundup. This past week was a contrast of extremes. The largest number of projects failed to reach their goal that we have tracked in a single week opposite one of the most successful funding weeks so far. 10 out of 23 projects failed to reach their funding goal, nearly half. But those projects that did reach their goal saw their coffers fill with pledges above and beyond their funding target.
The week was led by Miskatonic School for Girls, a new Top 10 Game project, that received $63,763 in funding. Homicidal Transients had one of the lowest successful funding amounts at $720.
We welcome 14 new projects to the list this week for a total of 55 active projects. This next week is going to be a good one since all the current projects that end this week are already funded and D-Day Dice, the all time highest funded project, will end with more than $120,000 in funding.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Thank you for adding the IndieGoGo.com game projects to the bottom of this update. I know a more ‘vertical’ funding platform for games may be a long way off, but it’s a thoughtful detail in the meantime.
It would make life so much easier if we could go to a single place and find Game projects.
Considering that We were only aiming for $300 to cover the cost of the backer rewards, $720 was far more than enough.
It was a small project on purpose.
I appreciate the publicity, though!
