As January comes to an end the month reach more than $223,000 in successful funding. It took nearly 6 months, until June 21th 2010 before $240,000 in funding was reached last year. And 2011 didn’t see 32 projects until the middle of August.

32 projects ended in January, with 22 successfully funding. That is a 68% success rate, significantly higher than the standard 54% for all Kickstarter projects.

The top 5 game projects in January were:

  1. Omen:Reign of War – $34,443
  2. Realm Coins – $27,098
  3. Island Fortress – $19,829
  4. The Book of Empress – $15,660
  5. GeneGrafter – $14,617

It is looking like my prediction of a $3 million 2012 is going to be way off. Guess we better raise the number to $5 million for 2012.
