In this 2019 GDC talk, Kitfox Games' Victoria Tran  lifts the veil on the numbers and technical aspects behind the indie discoverability grind that drove Boyfriend Dungeon to Kickstarter success. 

It's a great behind-the-scenes look at how much thought, effort, and luck goes into seemingly straightforward crowdfunding success stories, and Tran answers important questions like: What strategies worked... and didn't? How did the Kitfox Games team attract press? Did social media matter that much? How did a 5-person team manage, and how did their community help?

It was a smart, snappy talk that you can now watch for free over on the official GDC YouTube channel!
