Quote Kickstarter: "I played with the shape, size, weight, balance, and surface friction, and eventually arrived at a working design (g). However, when I altered the design to make it injection-mold-friendly and CNC milled it (h), it became too light and bouncy. A ball would flip it one way, and it would bounce right back the other way again. I made a few more adjustments and finally arrived at (i)."
I think there will be still some iteration when going for injection molds.
I was also thinking that Kickstart project makers should ask more from their community. I would love to translate to a Dutch version for example.
However, we've run a Kickstarter project ourselves. The involvement is not like that in practice. :-) It would be nice though to have a more collaborative creation process.
What if you "open source" the game development? That kind of thing happens in the mechanical keyboard community, and it seems to work out well for them.
