About this project
What Is Gaming Overdose?
Gaming Overdose is a multi-tool for all gamers alike. We first provide gaming, technology, entertainment news daily in video or written content formats.
The G.O is the must-have companion for gamers, streamers, competitive gamers and super gaming hobbyists. Our mission is to celebrate the best in gaming, technology, and entertainment daily. Bringing you the games of today and tomorrow with exclusive content found nowhere else. We look to provide the most trusted, in-depth editorial in the business through having access to the developers and technologies that make video games the world’s most dynamic form of entertainment.
Second, we compile exclusive gaming news and gameplay in our digital magazine all while acting as a gaming hub where you can buy video games and accessories.Third, we hope to be an application where you can create a profile including all of your gaming achievements all while staying in the know on the latest and greatest in gaming news. We need contributors that are invested in the gaming community that can utilize a gaming multi-tool that keeps gamers in the know on gaming news, technology, and entertainment.
What we need and What you get
We need 22k to go towards hiring writers to deliver gaming news 24 hours a day. A small IT team to construct the interface for the website and app that will incorporate the digital magazine, news feed, and user hub. The news feed is a 24-hour posting of gaming, technology, and entertainment news. We are also including video game guides, walkthroughs, and reviews. GamingOverdose value is based on what we bring to the gaming community that hasn't been brought. A true home for gamers that involves news to stay up to date. A magazine for exclusive gaming content and a gamer hub social space for sharing with other gamers. There are separate entities that exist but having these all in one place is a must have for the gaming enthusiast. An opportunity to put my own imprint on the gaming culture I have loved since a child is a passion that drives this project.
Perks
Funding GamingOverdose will give you 3 monthly issues and an exclusive use of the gaming overdose website and applications before others with full access to Gaming Overdose premium.
Other Ways You Can Help
Share our campaign
Funding our campaign is one way to support but sharing us with a friend or on social media is another that's just as effective. Gamingoverdose will be the home of the gaming community.
Risks and challenges
With there being beloved sites like IGN and Gamespot we look to go above and beyond the average gaming news site. Gaming social spaces like Discord, Players.me and Playfire are applications that focus on just the social aspect but not much else. Magazines like Gameinformer and Xbox official deliver great gaming content but the lack of a digital interface that you can interact with beyond reading articles is where we will prevail. Gathering people that are already dedicated to other sites may be a challenge but branding ourselves aggressively creating relationships by attending multiple gaming events like E3, Pax, and CES showcasing why Gamingoverdose is the must-have companion for gamers. If we fall short on our goals we plan to seek sponsorship to further fund Gamingoverdose.
