So we finally had our first Gamefound Crowdfunding campaign. What were your thoughts? How did it hold up? After a few weeks of ISS Vanguard, while I'm not blown away...I am impressed. Gamefound delivered a solid experience, giving Kickstarter regulars a comparable feel, with a few new features and then some areas on which they can still improve on.
