    Do a GoFund me for it being "it is what it is." If you list it as, hey, ima try this and see how it pans out, then you're good to go with what money you receive. If it blows? Well, you can ship what you got to the donators for scrap parts they may be able to use.

    Quoted from Orko:

    Some very wise advice. I think I'm going to go for broke and build myself a prototype. Maybe reach out to some people with the skill/know how whom could help me out with programming etc, but I believe that if I can build a prototype that people enjoy, want to replay, maybe I'm onto something. If not, it's still fun that I would follow a dream of mine.
    I don't want to do any "Go fund me" or similar type stuff. I would want to build confidence that a working machine can be built, that said machine is fun, and that licensing could be accomplished.
    Question, do I have to worry about copyright law during the build of a prototype? It wouldn't be for sale and only playable at shows for free. I'd love more information regarding that.

    Not a GoFund me for the full amount... just one that's like "hey, I'm accepting donations for anyone who wants to help me get started." Heck, $200 is $200...

    I second what Frolic said. Would also build skills.

    Perhaps, it depends upon what the individual considers "a success?" Spooky seems very grounded in ambitions, which is probably why he is doing well.
