Real-Life Example: Retro Adventure Game
The Challenge
Michael, a solo indie developer, wanted to create a retro-inspired adventure game but needed £5,000 for art assets, music composition, sound effects, and marketing materials to successfully launch on digital storefronts.
The GoodGrid Solution
He created a 100×100 grid with blocks at £1 each, designing the grid to resemble a pixelated game level. Different sections of the grid represented various aspects of development—art, music, programming, and marketing. Supporters could receive perks like early access, beta testing, and having their name in the credits.
The Results
Michael raised £6,200 (exceeding his goal) in 3 months. More importantly, he built a community of engaged beta testers and early players who provided valuable feedback during development. The visual nature of the grid created a sense of collective ownership in the project that traditional funding platforms couldn't match.
"GoodGrid changed my approach to indie game funding. Unlike other platforms, it created this visual, communal experience where players could see their contribution alongside others. The pixel grid format resonated perfectly with my retro game aesthetic, and the supportive community that formed around the campaign became invaluable playtesters."
