The Kickstarter/IndieGoGo Thread

[Gors]

This is probably me not having a business-oriented mind but you don't need to ask money to make a decent game. Quality does not come directly from money (money can make help things a lot, sure), but money is not synonymous with quality.

Maybe I see making games more like a passion and not business, therefore I have a more artistic feel about it. I don't need to care about 3D graphics, orchestral music, payment of co-workers so I am not fit to this type of stuff.

Also anyway if you want to make gaming a business so bad, then you should at least be smart enough to gather money first before setting up a studio or something. Or at least, enough to make a decent stuff (again, pointing that having no money does not equal to shit games). People nowadays are all 'omg i want to maek a gaem lets kickstart it' when it should be a secondary option. Kickstarter should not only be a 'quick way of getting money', but a way to 'grab the attention' of possible customers with your already decent game.

Finally, you can make games even if you have 'no money'. if you think about it, making games can be entirely free of charge, or something you can truck along in your own pace. See Cave Story. It's just that if you have not enough money you certainly shouldn't make huge-ass game projects too

tl;dr: open a programming book, study it, start writing lines of code
