When we ran our Shrink Wrap IndieGoGo project last year it was all about enhancing The Game Crafter service based upon features that were heavily requested. This year we decided we wanted to try to get game buyers more involved, so we did a game-oriented Village in a Box Kickstarter campaign. Our plan was to mix in stretch goals that would also enhance the service, because people have been requesting that we do exactly that.

Since the dawn of The Game Crafter we have had an ideas forum where you could tell us what you thought was missing from the site. We often rifle through it and pick the ideas we like from it and implement them. This has happened hundreds of times over the years. However, there’s a few big problems with this process, most importantly, we don’t know which ideas are most important to you. For that reason, we’ve launched our new ideas system.

The IRS is now requiring The Game Crafter to collect tax information from our US-based game designers so that we can send you an IRS 1099 form at the end of the year on whatever income you earn over the course of the year. We’ve built that into our new payment system and added a new feature for game designers!
