Watching the Devastated Dreams campaign's progress.
Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2015 11:31 pm
This thread is about following the progress of the Kickstarter campaign. People can link to places where they see the project received coverage too.
Devastated Dreams was able to achieve the 2nd spot in the popularity ranking for the video games category. Shenmue 3 ends soon, so there is the possibility of grabbing the 1st position. Currently 286 backers have pledged $12,424. That is 10.07% of the $115,896 goal. The average pledge amount is $43.44 per backer, but that average should drop towards $31 per backer as smaller backers dilute it down.
Here is the first set of graphs.

Its rewards structure is performing as expected. The $10 early-bird tier is going to be more popular than the regular $15 tier. The early-bird $25 tier is going to be more popular than the regular $25 tier and regular $35 tier. It is still early in the campaign, but the $50 to $500 tiers are doing good. The $1 tier was able to bring in 9 backers. Kickstarter becomes less active at night, so that causes the curving to the individual rewards like the $10 tier. In the morning the growth should rise again. The $25 early-bird tier was able to bring in close to the amount the $10 tier that has over 100 more backers than the $25 early-bird tier.
● Sidekick is showing a 8% probability of success. This tool is often very pessimistic.
● Kicktraq shows an over-optimistic 183%.
● Bitly Analytics shows 90 clicks for the project shortlink.
● CrowdCharts shows 118%.
● Kicklytics shows a trend line around $150,000.
For exposure Eurogamer, PixelDynamo, GameInformer and Automaton posted articles. Daizoren Gaming, Octopinp and IndieRuckus uploaded demo playthroughs. There was a post to /r/kickstarter.
Short-term goals should be to reach 15% funded this week (It may achieve that tomorrow) and 30% funded before halfway through the campaign's run. The project hasn't received exposure from big blogs yet, so its real momentum could end up much higher once more people are aware of it. It looks like many of the backers are those returning from Neverending Nightmares. While writing this I saw the project appear in the Staff Pick section.
