Did you already heard of Kickstarter.com? This is still a fresh project. There you will be able to suggest a project and ask for “community-driven-funding”. If enough people are willing to spend money on your project, you get the money and have to realise the project. Can be easy as that.
The guys from Crystal Labs now reached the funding goal of 1.500 dollar for their game “High Strangeness“. It will be a “12bit action / adventure video game” and the project looks very promising. Crystal Labs is run by the same people, who make the STFUAJPGM-podcast. The music will come from chipmusic-wonderkid Disasterpeace. Head over to this blogentry, there are three of the music-pieces available, that will go into the game-production.
