Here at Fanbase Press, we strive to provide an outlet for up-and-coming creators to promote and showcase their incredible works. With thousands of creators utilizing crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to make those works a reality, we will highlight these talented creators and their noteworthy campaigns through #CrowfundingFridays! We hope that you will join us in giving these projects a moment of your time (and possibly your support)!
Project #1: Ghosts – The Real-Time FMV Horror Game
What it’s about: Ghosts is a real-time, full-motion video horror game stepping into the shoes of Night Trap, Phantasmagoria and The 7th Guest. The game takes inspiration from the blurring of fact and fiction in the found-footage movies from the last 25 years. Written and directed by Jed Shepherd (writer and exec producer of HOST – winner of Fangoria’s 2021 “Best Streaming Premiere Movie and called “The Scariest Movie of the last Decade” – Dread Central) in partnership with Visible Games & Limited Run Games.
The coolest backer reward: £80 or more (approx. $113 USD) – The Athlete
Your physical copy of GHOSTS for Nintendo Switch or Playstation will be signed by Jed Shepherd and the cast. You will also receive the exclusive Fright Rags t-shirt, your name in the game credits, and a discord role, too! (Shipping will be charged after the campaign ends) INCLUDES:

Project #2: Arks #2
What it’s about: After the events of Issue #1, Joe is dying. They have no food, no water, and no shelter. They only have a destination: the Cradle, a mysterious site where Lilith believes they will find the answers they seek. To reach it, they must venture deep into the biofical forest, a nightmarish place filled with deadly transplants (animals transplanted from Earth that have been deranged by the process).
The coolest backer reward: You’ll be immortalised in the comic! Your name in the Garden of Eden – scrawled in the trees, fruit, and synthesised equipment found in the cradle.

Project #3: Dani and Ramen: A Nomad’s Tale Vol.1 & 2
What it’s about: When all of the trees in their forest are chopped down, Dani and Ramen take up arms in an impulsive decision to find who’s responsible for destroying their home. As they set out on their quest, they quickly realize that they’re not prepared at all for the harsh adventure ahead of them. But this doesn’t stop them from forging ahead. Their journey will take them across strange and wonderful lands filled with creatures and people you wouldn’t believe. In this epic, they will learn new things about themselves, as well as each other. And though the story of these two goofballs has a rocky start, we find out that there may be much more to Dani and Ramen than meets the eye.
The coolest backer reward: ‘The dual apprentice:” Backers get a copy of BOTH books, along with some sweet art prints and stickers.
