Why Crowdfund? Motivations for Kickstarter Funding
Why Crowdfund? Motivations for Kickstarter Funding Author: William LaPorta Advisor: Dr. Michele Naples 13 May 2015 The College Of New Jersey Abstract This paper attempts to answer the question, "What makes entrepreneurs utilize crowdfunding?" To answer this question we analyze the level of Kickstarter funding per capita in each state as a function of various macroeconomic variables. We find that states with higher income, states with higher income inequality, states with a lower concentration of small firms, states with lower unemployment and high social media usage are more likely to have higher levels of Kickstarter funding. These results indicate that Kickstarter and other crowdfunding websites are utilized in more affluent and technologically savvy parts of the country, with high levels of business activity.

The backer-developer connection: Exploring crowdfunding’s influence on video game production Anthony N. Smith University of Salford, UK Abstract As video game development studios increasingly turn to digital crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter for financing, this article explores the ways in which these processes shape production. It examines in particular the interactions that typically occur between studios and players as part of crowdfunded development, analysing the ways in which these activities inform aspects of video game design. By charting the implications of this burgeoning economic model, the article contributes to scholarship concerning video game production, and intervenes within more specific discussions concerning the role of the player within development. The article’s case study, which draws from evidence of production concerning multiple Kickstarter projects, is organised into two sections. The first ascertains the degrees to which Kickstarter users can influence the details of a proposed project during a crowdfunding campaign; the second looks at how developers involve crowdfunding communities within production once funding is secured.

"Console games are the equivalent of making films, whereas mobile is much more like television soap operas," he continued. "In one you design for a defined time spent sitting, while in the other you design to keep the person coming back to see what happens next." Peter Molyneux introduces the new XBox 360 "Project Natal" at a Microsoft XBox 360 media briefing on June 1, GODUS puts a mobile Internet spin on a "God 2009 in Los Angeles, California.
