The goal with crowdfunding is different for every single project. I didn’t see anything at the time of the Kickstarter (admittedly I am hazy on the details) About some larger strategy to gain publisher interest and funding.
Also if that was their goal, 3Xing your Kickstarter goal and seeing the ground swell behind it… They should’ve found at least a small indie publisher to throw them some bones. If they did have those conversations, there’s clearly a reason they weren’t funded. Either way there were a lot of red flags about this project unfortunately. And it started with their funding goal.

The goal with crowdfunding is usually to show publishers that the game has interest and that they should help bring it to life.
