Reply To: What makes you fund a kickstarter?
Having funded Marian the thing that I like is plenty of choice so you can go in at a level that suits. She had a great sliding scale of things. Some others I’ve looked had haven’t been anywhere near as graduated and if I had funded them I would have chose lower. With Marian’s I went up an extra level because the jump wasn’t too big and the extra reward was justified.
I can understand the criticism of over complexity and @angelastic can tell you I got a bit out of whack with it, but Marian was on call (no pun intended) to help out and set me straight. The over complexity does however say she put her heart into it and was trying to get something to the fans. Some of them come across as ‘give us cash’.
So she may have made it a bit more complex than necessary but I do feel she made it something more in return and the decent scale of pledge/reward certainly is worth keeping in mind.
ETA: I have only pledged to things that I have a vested interest in. There hasn’t been anything I didn’t expressly want that got a pledge so working on drumming up interest or capturing my attention first would be key.
On a last note. Any American, Canadian and non European who pledged, you have helped me get to see her play live and I thankee sai.
