The Kickstarter bug got me pretty hard.
I primarily back games but recently went outside of my comfort bubble with a Comic Book project. I was part of a failed project but have my plans for my own, for which I am taking my time on. Knowing that the more time I invest ahead of time, the greater likelihood of a successful campaign is driving my productivity.
I'm looking forward to see how they improve the platform.
I have spent way too much money on KS, but I'm generally quite happy with what I've gotten and the projects I've supported.
