// how it works
Demand first. Build second.
From a plain-language request to a funded, tester-verified game in your library — here's the whole loop.
01
Request
Ask for the game you want — described in plain language, not tags.
02
Pool & vote (RFG)
Requests pool into demand. The community votes; weight scales with your rank.
03
Campaign goes live
When a demand-pool crosses its threshold, a crowdfund opens — goal + deadline.
04
Built + tester-verified
Neutral human testers verify the build is real and fun before you can back it — AI checks intent & filters gameslop.
05
Back it
Pledge with real money or $snow and pick a reward tier — only after it's tester-verified.
06
All-or-nothing close
You're charged only if the goal is met by the deadline. Otherwise, refunded.
07
Funded
Goal met by the deadline. The dev receives the funds to finish and ship.
08
Delivered
Ships straight to the library of the players whose persona fits.
// steps 4 + 6 protect you: tester-verified before you can back it, and you only pay if it funds — otherwise refunded.

// trust & safety
Backers protected. Quality kept.
The same neutrality that runs Snowbll's search runs the Forge: AI judges intent and technical signals, humans judge fun — and the community can flag anything.
Flag a game
See gameslop, a scam, stolen assets, or misleading claims? Flag it. The campaign enters a review queue and its card flips to flagged · under review until it's resolved.
Voidbound
verified by testers
Community + tester backstop. Flags route to the AI gameslop filter and human testers.
Tester-verified
Hired, neutral human testers play funded games and judge whether they're actually fun, deep, and finished. That verdict — not a self-applied badge — earns the verified by testers chip.
Humans judge fun. AI judges intent & technical — it never claims a game is good.
All-or-nothing
You're charged only if a campaign reaches its goal by the deadline. If it falls short, nothing moves — card holds are released and any $snow returns to your balance, in full.
No "guaranteed funded" claims. If it doesn't make it, you don't pay.

Crowdfunding, answered
A campaign only collects money if it hits its funding goal by the deadline. If it does, backers are charged and the dev gets funded. If it falls short, no one pays a cent. It protects you from paying into a project that was never going to have enough to ship.
Yes. Because nothing is charged unless the goal is met, an unfunded campaign costs you nothing: card holds are released and any $snow you pledged is returned to your balance in full. No fees, nothing lost.
No. $snow is a platform credit — Snowbll's spendable wallet currency: top it up and spend it inside Snowbll to buy games and in-app items. It has a fixed display value and lives entirely inside Snowbll. There's no token, no wallet, no chain, no web3. Think store credit, not crypto.
Ability scales with your membership rank. Travelers (free) can browse and vote. Observers can submit requests. Council members and up can start a crowdfund campaign, with heavier vote weight and bigger quotas at higher ranks. It keeps spam out without paywalling participation.
Two separate checks. Hired, neutral human testers judge whether a game is actually fun. The AI judges intent and technical signals — it filters gameslop and matches your request — but it never claims a game is good. Community flagging backstops both.
It enters a review queue backed by the AI gameslop filter and human testers. While it's reviewed, its card shows “flagged · under review” instead of “verified by testers,” so backers always see the real status.
It's on the roadmap — not live yet. Everything on this page (campaigns, figures, the back flow) is an illustrative preview of how crowdfunding will work, not real funding.
