https://raisegamer.com/contact/ We now have a ticket system added to the website. I've also added instructions when making a page. There isn't anyway to update your project other than clicking the update button. You're unable to change the project itself from what I gathered from the other devs. So, that's why I 1. Added the ticket system, and 2. added instructions on the project. So, if you need to change anything with your project you can just submit a ticket in, and I can handle it that way.

Are there plans of having an inviting feature, similar to the one on this forum, that we track of which members invited other members?

The members don't invite other members per-se. They click on the social media, and at the end of the campaign it will post the message on the social media they added on the site. For example, when you link your twitter to LTN's game once his campaign is over, it will tweet his post on your twitter. Most likely having his game, steam link, or website as a link.

I understand the concept, but I was looking as personally inviting a lot of international game devs to be directly with the CrowdSourcing. They will have more influence being first tier, instead of second or third tier.
 
Rather interested to see this pan out. I'm not too sure on the idea of crowdfunding of games considering Kickstarter has moved away from games since double fine however it might be more useful than Kickstarter if they have policies tailored to gaming and not so much kicking supporters in the dark. The idea of charging people also before they can do much might weed out some of the crap and copyrighted stuff. I did like that greenlight does the exact same thing requiring a one off donation to charity in order to simply weed out trolls.

Be interested in anyone on here who's made a campaign too as note.

Edit: However where is even the button to support a project? Not exactly easy to find.

This isn't a site on Crowdfunding. That was the original goal for the site, however, we've moved to CrowdSourcing. Which is the same basic concept, however, instead of donating money, you're donating your social media per-se. You can link your twitter to the project, and if the project hits 100%+ on the day it is set *Example Apr 23 2016 you have 150% funded* it will make a tweet of either the tweet mentioned on the project, or whatever tweet you pre-set up for it. This way you can support a game by all at one time tweeting about it. It's really good for getting your site listed as a trending tweet for that day. If for example, nothing is happening that day *A celeb dies* then 500 tweets at once will surely make an impact on the social media. Let's say you use the hashtag of #GameDev one of the most popular hashtags for... game developers. 500 tweets with that will make it so that whole day you're pretty much the talk of the day, and in return now your game is getting popularity, noticeability, etc. You can even have some bigger blogs, social groups, etc. take notice and make posts about you as well.
 
I gather then this could help with steam greenlight then. I want to be on steam however would rather spend time on the game instead of social media getting people to up vote.

It's interesting regardless, definitely check it out and certainly when I'm closer to realese.

Then this sounds perfect for you. :)
 
I don't think people didn't get it, I think that subreddit is really barren. Not mega barren with posts a week old staying on there however basically no votes and everything posted within the last 3 days is on the first page... yeah it's the subreddit not the site. Best way is to encourage us to upvote it however that subreddit isn't worth it.

As surprising it can be, there're many lurkers on Reddit who don't vote (I got from time to time up to 100 people coming from that sub reddit on my personal blog). That's why I posted over there to show my support to the project ^^ But yeah, not seeing it being upvoted for unknow reason is a bit sad.
 
Yeah no lol. That's not a good subreddit unless a bunch more people start posting over there.

The way this site is going to get somewhere on reddit is if an amazing project posts up on there and that is shared on reddit. So just make an amazing project right? that's easy lol. But don't feel bad, it's not being upvoted because in the last 2 days (first page) only 146 points... in reddit terms that's barren.

Tried to post it on Reddit to show my support to the project but people didn't grasped the concept.

I learned on reddit a little while ago, that it's all how you word your post to get the likes. Having anything that sounds like self advertising *Even if it's not* won't get any likes, and only dislikes.

I posted one
https://www.reddit.com/r/RPGMaker/comments/4g2neo/help_mass_underground_get_its_name_out_there_not/
and it got +6 which isn't a lot. Thanks so much nonetheless for promoting the site! It means SOOOO much!
