Making Armikrog with Doug TenNapel on Kickstarter.

What does it take to create a successful Kickstarter campaign? Better yet, what lessons have we learned from previous campaigns?

Doug TenNapel is not new to Kickstarter. He raised over $115,000 with his first campaign to print a beautiful hardbound archive of his sketchbook’s. Now Doug and the founders of Pencil Test Studios, Mike Dietz and Ed Schofield (also from Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood) are joining forces to create a brand new game called ARMIKROG which has already raised over $230,000 in the first 2 days alone. Their goal is $900,000 so head on over to their Kickstarter page and pledge to help them hit their goal.

Now check out the Armikrog Kickstarter Video!

Please share the Armikrog campaign with everyone you know so we can have a beautiful new game by passionate creators.
