Hey everyone — looking for honest feedback more than promotion at this point.
We launched our Kickstarter for FLOREV™, a self-hydrating planter system:
Kickstarter Campaign
But this campaign cycle has honestly felt strange compared to what I expected. We’re getting a surprising amount of people backing, leaving comments/messages like “let’s connect” or promo-type stuff, and then cancelling their pledge shortly after. It’s starting to feel like Kickstarter has become more spam/networking than actual backers discovering projects organically.
So I wanted to ask the community directly:
I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback. We’ve spent a long time building this, and outside opinions are probably more valuable right now than marketing advice.
Thanks.
When I started working on my own games—from 2D "troll" platformers to space sims—I realized how hard it is to actually get noticed. There is so much noise on Kickstarter, and so many incredible mechanics get buried under big marketing budgets.
I didn't want to be another "Top 10" list. I wanted to be a scout.
I’m a game developer, but more than that, I’m a fan of clever logic. I love seeing a board game that uses real circuits or a video game that turns your desktop windows into a puzzle. I started KickFound because I wanted to find the "heart" of these projects—the technical risks and the brilliant systems that make a game worth more than just its trailer.
Between coding scripts, testing management logic, and trying to keep life in order, I’m committing to showing up here once a month to audit the best of what I find.
I’m not a "grand authority." I’m just a dev who spends too much time looking at game loops. My goal is simple: I hope you discover a game worth backing, meet a talented creator, and feel a little more connected to the people actually building these worlds.
KickFound Issue #01 is ready to launch. 5 Games. No Fluff. Pure Logic.
Thank you for being part of the first cohort. Let's build this launchpad together.

Few months ago, some of you took a chance on my very first Kickstarter and helped bring Myosotis (Book 1 of the Ellipso series) into the world.
Thank you for every pledge, message, review, and share. Your support truly meant more than you know.
This past year has honestly been one of the hardest of my life. Through all of it, I kept writing. And somehow, Kintsugi became a story about exactly what I needed most: hope.
Kintsugi is Book 2 of the Ellipso series, set twenty years later in the same dystopian universe.
But at its heart, this series has never really been about technology or hard sci-fi. It’s about people, memory, grief, resilience, and the fragile things that still connect us when the world changes.
This new story follows a female protagonist in a fractured society trying to find meaning, connection, and light in places where almost none should remain.
If you enjoyed Book 1, I would be incredibly grateful if you joined the pre-launch page and helped me spread the word. Every follower truly makes a difference for indie authors.

And thank you for staying in the Ring.
