GameDev Community,
I have an idea for a character/gameplay mechanic. I'm really only in the preliminary phases of this idea, starting to flesh it out and such. But on a side it got me thinking about crowdsourcing, which I know I'm no where able to do so at this moment. But I wanted to know what anyone's thoughts are in regards to crowdsourcing your projects? Any advantages that you've found, and any disadvantages that you've found as well. I imagine PR is still very hard to get going, as you have to spread the word about the crowdfunding first and hope it picks up steam.
What pros and cons have you experienced in trying to sell your idea on these various platforms? And regardless of if it was funded or not, did you find the experience worth your time?
