Paolo Parente studied with Gianni Versace and Domenico Dolce of Dolce & Gabbana in Milan.

“This whole thing of aging and wishing to be younger, I just don’t understand it. Life is this long trip, and each age needs to be lived for what it is.”

Those are the words of Paolo Parente, creator of Dust: Tactics, a very successful tabletop strategy game. I am now working with this internationally-known game illustrator. Paolo and my client, Shane Samole, founder B&D Group, will be developing a video game under the name “Dust Evolution.” Much like Dust: Tactics, the video game will blend World War II history with science fiction to create an exciting and visually unique new world.

I haven’t promoted a video game in quite a while, so I wanted to take all my DigiDame readers on this journey with me. The first order of business is a Kickstarter campaign so my client can raise the funds he needs to launch big time. Kickstarter is a worldwide crowdfunding platform based in the United States. That means the public has the chance to donate money in order to help start creative projects. Wikipedia says Kickstarter has reportedly received over $1 billion in pledges from 5.7 million donors to fund 135,000 projects, which include films, music, stage shows, comics, journalism, video games, and food-related projects.

I will be giving you a close look at what it’s like to start a Crowdfunding campaign, how we raise money, how we promote it, and how we make it successful.

What does this mean to you? I will be giving you the information you need to start a new company in your senior years. Or you can pass the information on to your children and/or grandchildren.

I am here to help you. I always want to share and hope you will do the same.
