I have some articles I plan to write for Patreon and other media sources this year:

#1 Scam Kickstarters -- The story behind the high profile scams that damaged our faith in crowdfunded games

a. The Mandate* -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1964463742/the-mandate>

b. After Reset* -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackcloudstudios/after-reset-rpg-rebooted/>

c. Yogsventures* -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winterkewlgames/yogventures>

d. Last Life -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1717469366/last-life/description>

e. Xeco Back From the Brink -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xeko/xeko/description>

f. Greed Monger -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/appleton/greed-monger-a-crafting-focused-sandbox-mmorpg>

g. Forsaken Fortress -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317934609/forsaken-fortress/description>

h. ROAM -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roam/roam/posts/1239935>

i. Unwritten That Which Happened -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1599677835/unwritten-that-which-happened/description>

j. Project Phoenix -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/project-phoenix-japans-indie-rpg-feat-aaa-talent>

k. The Stomping Land -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/524168447/the-stomping-land>

l. Mansion Lord -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22285033/mansion-lord-a-murder-mystery-rpg-business-sim>

m. Ant Simulator* -- <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eteeski/ultimate-gamedev-tutorials-make-your-first-video-g/description>

* -- People I'd really like to contact and talk to, interview, and are high priority articles. I've been researching these for a while now, and it's about time.

#2 -- Modder to Game Dev -- Interviews with Modders who became professional game devs

a. Alexander J. Velicky -- Falskaar

b. Nicolas Samuel and Johannes Scheer -- Enderal and Nehrim (and Cube Experimental)

c. Nick James Pearce -- The Forgotten City

d. Dean Hall -- DayZ

e. Tomas Sala -- Moonpath to Elsweyr

f. Nick Thomadis -- Darthmod

Most of these people I know and have talked to so it's going to be easy to get them interviewed. Any more I should add to the list?

I planned to do these as part of my marketing research for Morningstar and keep it to myself, basically just outlining "what are some red flags to avoid and how to mitigate first timer syndrome?"

But I think it's a valuable asset for the game dev community at large and people who backed the projects.

Jilted backers can get some small ounce of recompense.

It's something quick I can do that adds meaningful content to the page, and does some good.

What do you guys think?
