At the time of this publication, it's made over $50,000 in funding - well over its $20,000 goal, and has met multiple additional funding incentives. Instead, she took her idea for Skatebird, and (to pull an analogy from the wrong sport), swung for the fences.įox launched a Kickstarter campaign for Skatebird right in the middle of E3 2019 early last month, and the campaign has almost wrapped up. It's an apt metaphor for Glass Bottom Games founder and Skatebird creator Megan Fox, who similarly didn't give up when her previous title, Spartan Fist, didn't sell well.
