Was the total number of backers for Wave 1 so small that any amount of non returners for Wave 2 doomed wave 2. Any theories as to why this failed? I’m sure some might say Kickstarter fatigue, but wave 1 was launched, funded and delivered at the height of Kickstarter fatigue...
A couple of guesses:
- I believe this KS had a much higher funding goal. Makes it harder to do and discourages people from jumping in.
- Holidays are a bad time to add extra expenses (although the timing may have had to do with other factors like a possible expiring license for example).
- There is a lot going on in America. A lot of people who pledged at leisure before may have been focused on other things.
Everything I know about Zica is great. I suspect a lot of this was out of their hands. I’m sorry that their last 2 KS projects haven’t worked out and I hope they bounce back and get some effective use out of that tooling they’ve invested in.
