JOSEPHSERAPH'S PROFILE

while i totally understand your point, it's a personal matter of not feeling good about this pressure. There's otherwise no point in having a crowdfunding campaign if you already have the money and the public knows this!
Why would you back a game that's finished when you could back something that actually needs funding, and not some lousy guy trying to play safer by abusing crowdfunding platforms?
On the other hand you do need something to show, which is why you should never put a stage 1 project on a crowdfunding platform.
There's a sweet spot there -- complete enough that it's a tangible creation, but incomplete enough that it actually needs that funding.
but i'm... not the best of persons to talk about this i think.

Regardless, if I were to do a crowdfunding campaign of my own game, the money would fund my own work (as in comissioning my own artwork and paying my working hours in the game) , but I'd already have put in a considerable effort in there that it showcases how the finished product will be like -- a very polished 1h demo with a limited selection of enemies and locations (since artwork takes considerably longer than anything in-engine for me to make) is what I would do for instance.
