$4 Investments Welcomed

I recently stumbled onto kickstarter.com by way of, as others probably have, the destructoid article on Sequence. I am beyond impressed and particularly hopeful for video game as well as other creative projects. I can imagine this working really well for new ventures and it will allow for gamers and the general public to contribute or become investors, however small, of projects that they think will be successful or just plain fun. The rewards were really great incentives for people to become backers and the small amount made it very accessible.

Looking at some of the other gaming projects, the site is doing very well. There are a lot of games that have been fully funded or funded beyond the requested amount. Sequence still has 19 days to go for backing and its already $1000 above the requested amount. Others like e20:System Evolved was able to gather $14,605.50 in backing. Projects in different fields are also doing well. Land of Opportunity a documentary film has $19,612 in backing.

This is a great resource for anyone looking to produce a new project, but lacks the funding or needs a little bit more to polish the end product. If you are into writing or image making I would also take a look at blurb.com, an online company that will publish your books. They also have competitions and an impressive set of judges from the book and photo world.
