Newsbrief: A new game crowdfunding website is hoping to better the competition through the gamification of user pledging, and the offer of international support.

GameLaunched has been in beta since the start of the year, but the initiative has now fully launched to the public. The team behind the website says that any company internationally can start a funding project on the platform, with no restrictions on where you're based in the world.

Notably, GameLaunched hopes that introducing competitive elements into the crowdfunding system, such as experience points, leaderboards and virtual currency, will help bring in the crowds.

More information can be found on the GameLaunched website.
