Kickstarter Campaign Copy Kit

Most game campaigns don't fail from lack of hype — they fail from bad tier math. Price every reward so it survives fees, shipping, and refunds, then write the whole campaign page from proven templates.

Try it live — tier margin calculator

This is the actual calculator from the kit. Change the numbers — the math updates instantly.

The full kit adds the funding-goal gross-up calculator and the stretch-goal break-even check, plus all the copy templates.

What's inside

Reward-tier pricing calculatorThree tabs: tier margin (pledge → platform fee → processing → shipping → net), funding-goal gross-up, stretch-goal break-even. Real math, runs offline in your browser.
Campaign copy templatesFill-in-the-blank copy for all 10 page sections: elevator pitch, video script, story, risks & challenges, budget breakdown, reward tiers, timeline, 12-question FAQ, team bio, 5 backer updates.
Stretch-goal plannerThe 7 rules of safe stretch goals, archetypes ranked by risk, a planner worksheet, a worked example, and the red-flag kill list.
The 25% ruleEvery template is built around one number: no tier ships under 25% net margin. That's the line between funded and broke-at-95%-shipped.

Risks & challenges (excerpt)

"Making games is hard, and we'd rather tell you the risks now than apologize later.

Our biggest risk is scope. We're managing it by locking the feature list at campaign end — stretch goals add content, never systems.

...

Never write 'we foresee no risks.' It's the fastest way to lose a backer's trust."

The full kit includes all 10 sections: story, budget table, tier formulas, timeline, FAQ, video script, and update templates.

One price. Yours forever.

FAQ

Is the calculator a real tool or a spreadsheet?

A real interactive HTML tool — three calculators (tier margin, funding goal, stretch-goal break-even) with live math. Opens in any browser, works offline, no signup.

Are the templates generic fluff?

No. They're fill-in-the-blank structures with worked examples: a 60–90 second video script, a risks section backers actually trust, a budget table that includes the fee lines most campaigns hide, and 8 tier formulas with margin rules.

What crowdfunding platforms does this cover?

Written for Kickstarter (5% platform fee default) but the calculator's fee fields are adjustable for Indiegogo, Gamefound, or regional platforms.

What format is the download?

A ZIP with the calculator (HTML), the copy templates and stretch-goal planner (Markdown, readable anywhere), and a README. No DRM, no expiry.
