by Crowd Craft

I've always had a bit of a habit of coming up with ideas. Most of them are probably terrible. Some of them are far too ambitious. Compared to some of the things I've wanted to build over the years, CrowdCraft is actually one of the more grounded ones.

A few years ago, my cousin and I launched a card game called *Bad Samaritans* on Kickstarter. It funded successfully, but it definitely wasn't an overnight success story. We put a lot of our own money into it, built up a decent following on Instagram, made marketing videos and spent a lot of time trying to get people excited about something that didn't exist yet, all by ourselves.

One thing I realised during that process was that crowdfunding wasn't really the difficult part. It was getting enough eyes on the game before launch. We had testers, but the total test group couldn't have been more than 100 individuals. You start wondering what people outside that group think. Different countries, different tastes, different types of players.

Since then I've been working on a TTRPG, and I've noticed that a lot of creators seem to run into the same thing. There are loads of places that help you raise money once your project is nearly finished. There aren't many places that help you build the thing before that point.

That's where the idea for CrowdCraft came from.

A place where creators can put ideas out there early and find people who genuinely want to be involved. Playtesters who love trying unfinished games. Artists looking for projects. People who enjoy proofreading magical ideas. Future backers who like discovering games before Kickstarter. Maybe even hobbyists willing to put a small amount behind an idea they believe in.

The more I thought about it, the more ideas kept coming. Artist pages. Contributor profiles. Founder badges. Playtesting groups. Investment opportunities. Ways for people to build a reputation by helping projects succeed.

It's still early days. The website is live, the ideas are evolving, and I'm figuring out what works and what doesn't. But after talking to creators over the past few days, it feels like there might actually be something here.

We'll see.

For now, I'm just enjoying the process of building it and sharing the journey along the way.

We would love to have hobby enthusiast sign up to come discover and shape new games before everyone else, feel free to have a look at https://crowdcraft.app.
