The Stars Reach Kickstarter Campaign Ends, Secures Additional Funding for the Project, Keeps Taking Pledges
Our goal was to prove to the world that there was market appetite for this game, at a time when the industry financial landscape is challenging. We turned to players to help us make it happen and to provide that proof. And that approach worked: the success of the Kickstarter has already unlocked additional investment and set us on the road to Early Access later this year. -Raph Koster, CEO of Playable Worlds The campaign has concluded, bringing in $740,097 according to the press […] -
The Stars Reach Kickstarter Campaign is in The Final Stretch
Will the impending end of the campaign draw in more backers? Will there be a last minute rush? Some excitement? Something crazy to draw some attention? Maybe? [caption id="attachment_131984" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Stars Reach - The Campaign Continues[/caption] I mentioned in a past post... or two... about the U-shaped nature these campaigns often adopt. The true believers, they jump in right away, so if the company has done its work the first 48-hours are a land rush […]https://tagn.wordpress.com/2025/03/19/the-stars-reach-kickstarter-campaign-is-in-the-final-stretch/

The Stars Reach Kickstarter Campaign Reaches Out to Boost Backer Count
We are now well into the middle campaign doldrums where the initial days of big numbers are well in the rear view mirror and the last minute frenzy is still many days away. [caption id="attachment_131984" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Stars Reach[/caption] You can see over at Kicktraq the daily activity has dropped off with the initial excitement about the campaign. [caption id="attachment_133183" align="aligncenter" width="448"] Daily numbers through March 11[/caption] There was […] -
The Stars Reach Kickstarter Campaign – Through the First Week and into the Doldrums
I am going to suggest that it is a bit of an open question as to whether or not a longer Kickstarter campaign, whether going a full 30 days, is better than something shorter. [caption id="attachment_131475" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Stars Reach is coming[/caption] The argument in favor of a longer campaign is easy. The more time people have to find out about it and join in, the better. You never know when some interview or headline is going to land just right and bring out a […] -
The Stars Reach Kickstarter Campaign Approaches $500K
I suspect the campaign will be past the half million dollar mark well before Conan O'Brien delivers his last joke at the Oscars on Sunday night, and it is good to see the campaign succeeding. Success is always better than the alternative. [caption id="attachment_132908" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Campaign Goal Reached[/caption] That said, the baggage of more than a decade watching and participating in MMO Kickstarters has left me with a skeptical eye, so bear that in mind if I […]https://tagn.wordpress.com/2025/03/01/the-stars-reach-kickstarter-campaign-approaches-500k/

The Stars Reach Kickstarter Campaign Begins and Blows Through its $200K Goal
After some build up and a bit of delay, today is the day that the Stars Reach Kickstarter campaign begins. The campaign is now live and the goal has been set to $200,000, a total which it reached in the first hour. [caption id="attachment_132798" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Stars Reach Campaign One Hour In[/caption] I went over the preliminary view of the pledge tiers on Sunday and, in glancing down the list now that the campaign is live, the base pledge levels appear to be about […] -
Stars Reach Preview of Kickstarter Tiers and Business Model
Yesterday before the play test, the Playable Worlds team held a one hour fireside on Discord to present their plans for their Kickstarter campaign. [caption id="attachment_132736" align="aligncenter" width="450"] The campaign begins soon[/caption] The way the team has the Kickstarter rewards laid out required a look into the business model, so in the presentation they gave us, the first slide was a look at that and the state of affairs after the Kickstarter.

The Stars Reach Kickstarter Campaign is Set to Launch on Tuesday, February 25th
Playable Worlds is done with their run up and delay and have set the date for the Stars Reach Kickstarter campaign to begin. As the title says, it is coming up on Tuesday. [caption id="attachment_132630" align="aligncenter" width="450"] The Campaign begins soon[/caption] We still don't know what the campaign will look like. We won't get to see the pledge tiers and pricing until the campaign goes live next week. But we know the date. It has been quite a journey to get here for the […] -
Stars Reach and the Escarion Play Test
It was announced last week that we were getting a new world for the weekend's play test. Saturday would introduce us to Escarion. [caption id="attachment_131984" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Stars Reach - Continued Testing[/caption] The new world was billed as having the following features: A new world, Escarion, has been added. Like the other worlds, it is accessed by going to Space and traveling to it via Portal. There are large sections of creature-less and buildable areas in […]https://tagn.wordpress.com/2025/02/17/stars-reach-and-the-escarion-play-test/

Stars Reach Kickstarter Delayed, Testing Updates, Raph’s AMA, and Other Items
On Saturday there was a fireside chat led by Carneros before the day's play test opened up, a change up of the usual order of things, so that the team could get some announcements out, answer questions, and get people prepped for what is to come. [caption id="attachment_131984" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Stars Reach - Continued Testing[/caption] The first item on the agenda was a delay in the launch of the Kickstarter campaign. I wrote about that last week and took their "in a […]
