money links

Today, I looked for money for STAC.

I stumbled upon this on kickstarter. This game is very interesting, and was fully funded in two days! The game, as seen in the link, started when Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune left the big corporation Capcom when they sold out and killed the mega man series and created bad games. He took some of the elements of the Mega Man series and with some other designers are developing the game Mighty Number 9. He is essentially rebelling against big corporations and doing his own thing by hopefully creating a great game. It is funded by giving away the amazing rewards for pleading, appealing to nastalgia from the mega man series and the rep of the creator.

The next link I provided is Zack Braff's film "Wish I Was Here". He is making a film and asking for money via kickstarter because he realized that if he signs to a big movie company, it will change his artistic vision just like in his past movies. Braff will now make his movie. It is funding due of Braff's rep and the abundance of prizes he is giving away.

This kickstarter is not as widley known as the previous two but they are still trying. The game is a sequel to one that the developers made in the 90s. They are focusing on the gamers and their experience in game. They are halfway there, but the humor in their video is very appealing.

This project is a toy gyroscope which spins at any angle due to the physics behind it. It got funded because people like toys especially sophisticated ones.

Music is a growing industry, especially in people's homes.  People found that they need speakers flowing throughout their homes for optimal sound. That is why this kickstarter worked because it is a cool innovative gagget that makes a surround sound throughout your house.

This worked because it is a multi purpose wallet which is so cliche it sums up the white middle class. The problem I see with this invention is that it is robber funded because it makes it easier to steal everything from their victims.

This kickstarter is about a taffy factory being built in Brooklyn which I am even thinking of helping to fund because I live close enough to get some. Seriously,  I like their campaign and it was sucessfully funded.
