Starting a crowdfunding campaign project
Use this procedure to create a project for a crowdfunding campaign on Gamefound. After you create the project, you can go to the project dashboard and start setting up your preview page.
Before you begin
You need access to the creator dashboard.
Step 1: Open the General setup page
- In the top-right corner, click your profile avatar.
- In the menu, click Go to admin area.
- The creator dashboard opens.
- At the top of the page, click Creator.
- Click My Projects.
- In the upper-right corner, click + Add a project.
- On the project type selection page, find the Gamefound campaign tile.
- Click Start Crowdfunding.
The General setup page opens.
Step 2: Complete the General setup form
On the General setup page, enter the basic information for your crowdfunding campaign.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Project name |
Enter the name of your project. You can use the same name as your crowdfunded product. You can change the project name while your project is an unpublished draft. If you change the project name, the project URL doesn’t update automatically. Review the URL and edit it separately if needed. |
| Project URL |
Review the URL created from your project name. You can edit it before your campaign goes live. After the campaign goes live, you can’t change it. |
| Project category |
Select the category that best describes your project.
|
| Project tags | Add tags that describe key features, content types, or themes. Tags help users discover your project. |
| Short description | Add a short summary of your project. Keep it clear and specific. |
| Project thumbnail | Add the image that appears in project lists, for example, on the Explore page. Use the recommended size shown on the page. |
| Cover image | Add the image that appears at the top of your project page. Use the recommended size shown on the page. |
| Contact email | Enter the email address Gamefound can use to contact you. If this is your first campaign, Gamefound sends instructions to this address to confirm it. |
| Legal entity type |
Select whether you create the campaign as an individual or as a business. This field may appear when you set up your first project or when your account details are not complete yet. |
| Location |
Select your country of residence. Gamefound uses this information to show the available currencies and payment setup options. This field may appear when you set up your first project or when your account details are not complete yet. |
| Default currency |
Select the currency for your project. Available currencies depend on your country. If you don’t see your preferred currency, contact Gamefound. |
Step 3: Create the project
After you complete the General setup form, accept the required agreements and create the project.
- Read and accept the Gamefound terms and data processing agreement.
- Click Create Project.
Gamefound creates the project and opens the project dashboard. From there, you can continue the setup and prepare your preview page.
Note: Completing the General setup form doesn’t make your project public. To publish a draft campaign, complete the setup steps in the project dashboard.
