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:
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.

We just successful got funding for our first Free RPG Day release, Undying Legacy of the First Ones — http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/462624115/free-rpg-day-neoexodus-adventure-for-pathfinder-rp — and working with Kickstarter has been a dream. I can’t wait until we start our next one in March.
Congratulations Louis. I posted you as one of the successfully funded projects last week on our roundup. Looking forward to your next project.
Thanks for the round up, saves me time trolling through Kickstart!
