BackerKit

⚔️ Rat Queens: A Redemption Campaign from Talespinner Games is live on BackerKit and funded in under 3 days! $155K+ raised from more than 1.7K backers, with no signs of slowing down.

Rat Queens is a fast-paced co-op deck-building tower defense game where you defend the gates of Palisade, loot the villains you slay, and face down a Nemesis before the town falls.

Want more Rat Queens while you wait? Vengeance on Villains is a brand-new Rat Queens comic being drawn in real time on the project page. Backers vote on what the Queens do next, and every choice unlocks a free Ally card.

Palisade won't defend itself. Back it before Oct 8. 👉https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/talespinner-games/rat-queens-a-redemption-campaign

Introducing BackerKit Worlds: a permanent home for a creator's entire universe.

Crowdfunding was originally built for the single, standalone campaign. But a creator's universe keeps expanding long after a campaign ends. So we built it a home.

BackerKit Worlds brings it all together in one always-on home, so you can:

🌎 Showcase every project, past, live, and upcoming, in one place
🌎 Give fans one trusted destination to discover your work
🌎 Keep your community connected between campaigns
🌎 Own a branded home without building a separate website

Built from real creator feedback and only on BackerKit. Read the full release and apply for early access: https://www.backerkit.com/blog/backerkit-worlds

What does it really take to turn one successful campaign into a scalable, growing business?

We're sitting down with Mathue Ryann, Founder of Envy Born Games, who took his studio from a $45K solo debut, Hercules and the 12 Labors, to a $221K follow-up ,Jason and the Argonauts, in just over a year.

What we'll cover:

✅ How Envy Born Games nearly 5x'd their funding between two solo titles, through strategy and consistency, not luck

✅ How to design a game and a series that turns one-time backers into repeat supporters

✅ How to use BackerKit's Collab-Funding events, stretch goals, and cross-campaign collaborations to grow your audience with every launch

Whether you're scaling your next campaign or building a series, this one's worth a watch.
