A game called Dragons Day grossed half a million dollars in incredible coincidence

It's an amazing case of a game that raised half a million dollars on Kickstarter thanks to Harry Potter, and nothing to do with Harry Potter.

The creator of the Day of Dragons game, for which a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter was launched at the beginning of the ninth month, has a very unusual story. Namely, this game has raised half a million US dollars in just a few days for its development, and for such a result it can be thanks to the incredible coincidence and magic of Harry Potter, with which it normally has almost nothing to do. Watch this now ...

The creator of Day of Dragons has launched a campaign asking for $ 12,000 to develop an MMO game with dragons. He raised $ 1,300 in his first two days for the game, which is solid, not unusual. However, five days later, the Harry Potter Wizards Unite mobile game launched an event called Day of Dragons, and that coincidence in the name of the event reflected positively for the unrelated game. Searching for that name on Google made the game come to those who had never heard of it before, so the game ultimately earned 44 times the amount requested.

There are several fascinating facts in all this. For starters, the creator of Day of Dragons is the first game he has tried to make in his career and has already raised half a million dollars for it - an amount that most indie developers never have. Furthermore, the crowdfunding campaign of this game had no video presentation other than the rudimentary rendering of the gameplay - so the developer did not explain in video format what the campaign's goals were or who was doing everything on the game itself.

And lastly, until a few months, the game creator had no plans at all: he just planned to release a playful version of the game on Steam and let the players decide for themselves if it had the potential. A month later, the game has a financial potential of half a million dollars ... thanks to the right timing and choosing the right name. And the Harry Potter franchise itself has almost nothing to do with it, except for the fact that dragons can be found in it as well.


That's what your life is about.
