Changes news visual on news page, companies news and front page. I also hid future news so that it would be published gradually.
I've been updating the CFP's internal system for the past week. There was a year in the life of the site when new projects weren't looking for themselves, because kickstarter had learned to block our requests. Now this problem has been resolved once again. More than 1,000 missed projects were found, and possibly more, they are gradually being added to the site. Well, along with the new system, more than 2,000 companies were found that are not yet on the site. And this is not counting the list of 800+ companies, which I just fill up at the meeting when I realize that there is no time to add them now.
All this leads to the idea that this is not even the middle of the road yet, as it seemed to me in the middle of this winter. Yes, not all companies are worth adding, but this only means that they will be closer to the end of the list) After all, everything is important for Miniatures history.
By the way, an interesting fact - the very first Kickstarter project that we know at the moment is a project from as early as 2008, which raised $1,741, and this was when more than half of all existing companies did not exist yet!
To get a little away from the CFPs, i added opinions about companies.
While the CFP is being replenished, I have cleaned the company pages of excess and added missing information. Added an indication of what the company does. If it is a manufacturer, then additional blocks related to the sets are shown, and if it is a painting studio, for example, the blocks about the sets are hidden. Added a visual representation of the percentage of digital and physical sets in the company. I made the display of the link to the company's business card brighter. Also hid already closed painting studios from the list of companies.
By the way, if anyone knows good and interesting miniature painting companies? Please send it to me, if you know them! I'm not interested in individual artists (we know them good), only in companies.
Oh, I also added a new material for miniatures - Plexiglass)
When adding these Kick Starter things, are you ignoring projects that failed? Or companies that were never able to release anything?
I'm just curious, because technically those miniatures would have never existed. I also know of a strange instance of the Contra board game, which had a version with minis (I have it and can add to the site), but it started on Kick Starter with one company, they were taking a really long time to produce the item and they failed. THEN some other company took over the project and now it actually exists... but now the regular versions in stores don't have minis. (well, they have cardboard standees, which might still count?)
I add all projects with miniatures to the site, even if they didn't succeed or didn't raise enough money, it's still a history. Currently, there are about 1,000 such projects out of all. So it turns out that almost every eighth project was unsuccessful or canceled. Judging by what I see, this is either when the company is just creating a project for the first time, or when it has not yet learned how to hire a designer for its projects and they do everything themselves and it doesn't turn out very presentable.
In general, kickstarter projects have long turned into a separate type of store, in which there is no special need to raise money, but just such type of sales. Well, it will be interesting to look at the statistics of 3d versus real miniatures, when most of the projects will be marked up.
