14 DAY TRIAL // Kickstarter has published a ton of data for its end-of-the-year review, showing the impressive feats of mankind over the course of 2014.
The crowdfunding platform was a veritable boon for indie gaming, and 2014 was a stellar year, with close to two thousand successful game campaigns supported.
Granted, that number also includes board games and other miscellaneous gaming-related stuff, but the numbers still hold. Gaming was the third category for number of total successful projects, behind music and film, as well as for total funding.
Over the course of 2014, games project managed to raise a total of $89 / €74 million, second only to the technology and design categories.
A video game also managed to sneak among the platform's most popular projects during 2014, in the form of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a realistic medieval single-player role-playing game experience coming from Czech game makers Warhorse Studios, with a total of over 35k supporters.
These numbers clearly show that Kickstarter is still a robust platform when it comes to getting funding for your project, with numerous developers, both famous and unknown, turning to crowdfunding as a means to get things going during 2014, and even more expected to do so over the course of 2015.
