Since my last post, I have finally inserted Kaiju Conquest into Tabletopia and Tabletop Simulator. I had bought the platforms about 3 years ago and at the time I was having difficulty using them. Since then I watched more tutorial videos and it was easier than I thought. It seems TTs is more popular than Tabletopia, but I wanted to have both platforms for those people who are more comfortable with using one or the other.
I sent my game for quotes to several Chinese manufacturers. They were WINGO, NINUX, Magicraft, Longpack and Whatz Ganes. The results are about the same between them. It is just a matter of which one I want to choose. More to follow on that.
I received actual 3d models of each of the mecha and kaiju. I will not start posting them until after I get the landing page setup.
I have been trying to post regularly on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, but it is not easy considering I still work full time and have other domestic considerations that take priority. Currently posting once per week. The problem is I don't like "spamming" myself a lot and I am not getting a lot of Likes or responses anyway. I wonder if it is worth it sometimes. But I keep trying.
Currently, I have paid someone to help me with setting up a landing page to begin proper email subscriptions in order to gain a following for Kaiju Conquest. I can only hope it works. I will post it on here soon.
I feel I am getting closer to the Kickstarter launch for Kaiju Conquest, but I know I have a long way to go yet. This is a list of what needs to be done:
1. Publicize the landing page.
2. Send weekly newsletters to those who have subscribed on the landing page.
3. Promote the game as much as possible on FB, Instagram, Twitter.
4. Promote the game online with Tabletopia and Tabletop Simulator.
5. Confirm which Chinese manufacturer I will choose.
6. Contact shipping and fulfillment companies. I need to choose about four to distribute around the world.
7. Contact boardgame reviewers to review Kaiju Conquest. This will be done either through physical copies or online with Tabletopia and TTS.
7. Pay someone to help create my Kickstarter page. I am very weak in graphic designing.
8. Create a Kickstarter pre-launch promo page.
9. Launch Kickstarter once I can confirm I will have anywhere from 300 to 500 followers.
I was planning for May 2021, but it really depends on the number of followers I get who will be backing the game. I cannot launch the kickstarter unless I get that minimum number in order to reach the funding goal, either within 3 days or at least by the end of the Kickstarter.
