It is no secret for the past two months the Violent Sol Worlds team has been working on putting together a Kickstarter. The thing is we did not think it would take this long. We figured a month and it would be out the door. A month is a very long time to work on essentially an elaborate blog post that asks for fundi
ng.
Well we are on the second month now. It just keeps going. We had something that could have launched a month in. There just was not the pride I feel today for it, it needed more cowbell.
The second month really took our content and polished it up and made us move from a Kickstarter that we kinda just needed to launch to one I want to launch.
See, At first you develop all the things that Kickstarter wants you to fill in etc. You play by the rules and do exactly what they say. I encourage anyone doing a Kickstarter to do it that way, just get it filled in and able to go to review. Then stop and take the time again to make it something you would even put on a resume.
I never want to do anything anymore that is just enough to get to launch. That is not a great way to live. I want to make sure that I do enough to make the world notice that there was work there. Simply filling out the forms and getting it ready to launch was work, but launching it then would have looked like we just threw it together. I want to make sure people see it and think that is a great Kickstarter page.
I also learned that you should not do the hard work to make anything above and beyond without doing it just for the work. Don’t expect anything beyond the privilege of working on a quality product. Hope for the best but be rewarded by launching a Kickstarter that you would write home about. I’m going to choose to be proud of what I have helped put together. I look forward to the world seeing it.
