[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

#KickstarterHour has been a ton of fun to organize and run, and I'm really thankful for all the friends and connections I've made through it

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

@ShootAgainGames So you're rushing the post holiday rush? :) #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

Q5: Anything else you would like to share with #KickstarterHour? News, thoughts, or Kickstarter project links?

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

A4: I (@gameogami) hope to launch my next Kickstarter project between February and May next year. Earlier the better #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

@ShootAgainGames Cool! Why that date for the Pinball Showdown Kickstarter launch? #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

Q4: When are you planning to launch your next #Kickstarter #crowdfunding campaign? #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

A3: I (@gameogami) have run #Kickstarter projects in Spring, Summer, and Fall - the Spring projects have funded better #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

#KickstarterHour A3: February seems like a good time to me: less competition than later and backers may have recovered from holiday spending

I just backed Starcade: An Arcade Style Micro Game for 1-3 Players on @Kickstarter https://t.co/KpGpCZaDal

Q3: In your opinion and experience, what are the best months for running a #Kickstarter #crowdfunding project? Why? #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

@warcabbitMWM @ShootAgainGames Yes, counter-programming can help avoid competition, so it's a trade off. Lots to consider! #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

@ShootAgainGames @warcabbitMWM Yes, it's a mad-rush, and a shorter window than the February-June Spring Kickstarter season #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

@ShootAgainGames @warcabbitMWM Which time of year are you referring to? #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

I just backed Spires - a card game for 1-4 players on #Kickstarter https://t.co/ahXwUDiwIO #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

@warcabbitMWM A2: (2/2) But their spending power can be very limited (especially with credit cards / paypal) w/o parents. #KickstarterHour

[Kickstarter Hour @KickstarterHour]

@warcabbitMWM A2: Absolutely, Spring and Fall seem to be best times for backers, yet other creators know that too, so... #KickstarterHour
