James Brightman for GamesIndustry International:

Mobile developers looking to get some financial assistance with their projects for iOS or Android may have a new ally in AppStori, a Kickstarter-like funding platform specifically for mobile apps and technologies.One of the differences for AppStori, however, is its community focus; it’s not just about donations but support, feedback, collaboration, and the ability to find talent.

That’s what makes this different: You don’t just have to contribute money. You can support a project you really like, and if you’ve got skills the developers need, you can even be part of the project. Given the creative talent in the game business, this could make a real difference in how games are made.
