Man, the market demand sure is wierd sometimes... Battlegrounds didnt even get 50k in 30 days. This thing, made by the Oatmeal and 2 other guys, earned 3 million in 3 days. Their goal was 10k.  :D

Nerds love their cats. Make me the next Hitlér and i'll do a mass cat genocide. Then they can all cry their tears into their fedoras.

You got to admit, his drawingstyle is pretty entertaining, not to mention his humor.

Oatmeal is very very popular and hardly compares to the DonkeyCrew... :P

Btw, I backed that card game too tbh. :D
Huge fan of card games and this one just sounds like something my "every 2nd Saturday" card game buddies will enjoy for quite a while. Especially with the 8 players deck and the NSFW-cards...

I don't see how the chance of getting an exploding kitten increases as the game progresses by definition. Anyway, these guys are probably wondering how the hell they can spend 3 million on developing this product.

Oatmeal etc are superfamous. No suprise they earned as much as they did

You pull cards out of the deck. The more cards are pulled from the deck, the less is remaining and thereby the chance of pulling the exploding bastard increases. Players can avoid and relocate it with other cards, until there are none but the killercards left.

Not really suprised. The Oatmeal has asston of fans and is pretty much a internetcelebrity. And majority of the people who backed this, teeeeeeechnically they didnt pay with the idea that they are contributing to the developement, but for the idea that they are paying and getting a product. In which case yea, the small goal helped.

Oatmeal is famous for sure, but successful card game campaigns on Kickstarter average more than one million USD in backing. Even Melee Battlegrounds would get that amount if they design interesting card game around it.

Average Kickstarter backer is American nerd and they like their card games.

Those are real paper board cards. You do realize that, right?
Not some hipster card video game... It sounds to me like you think it's a video game.

Getting neither the cat virgin le reddit game or the medieval game. But if Battlegrounds wanted mo money they'd add the thing that would get the casuals flocking.


MAGIC. SORCERY, mages, warlocks, witches, sorceresses, sorcerers you name it. And Dragons which is pretty popular right now alongside zombies..... ZOMBIE DRAGONS!


Just plain ole medieval combat won't get the casuals flocking. Also archers must be able to do 360 jump quickscopes for the extra attention. (If you're okay with 12 year old kids who shout racial and sexual slurs in the VOIP which you also must add for extra casual attention).

Zombies are fun cause of the gore, or in some cases cause surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, where not everyone is a sniping asshole, can be quite entertaining. But yea, Donkey learned it the hard way, that without solid advertising, a project is bound to fail, no matter how promising or hardworked on. That fundinggoal could have been easly reached even if Kim Kardashian was hired to say one sentence about it. Its screwed up, but it is what it is.
