We funded Far Away: Corporate Espionage! Of course, reaching the goal isn’t the end. We want to make the game even better. Any extra funds will go into that objective. As a way to quantify those efforts, we have listed stretch goals. It’d be amazing to reach them and add some long-requested extra features.
Far Away focused on satirizing government bureaucracy. It’s more fun to have a space government that’s incompetent than one that’s evil. Even the most ardent supporters of strong federal governments will admit there are some inefficiencies worth poking fun at. While there’s still more material in that comedy bucket, Corporate Espionage (now funding on Gamefound) shifts the spotlight to big tech. This world that promises to disrupt us with AI-powered everything is a fun place to crack jokes.
Did you know we’re running a crowdfunding campaign for Far Away: Corporate Espionage? Chip in today for a discounted game and opportunity to add something to the game itself.
Here is my proposed logic for the “Crowdfunding Paradox”:
Crowdfunding allows niche products to find market fit.
Crowdfunding sites benefit more from larger, successful projects than ones that might fail.
Products with broad market fit can still use crowdfunding sites.
Crowdfunding sites have no incentive to help niche products.
