Suppose somebody was making an indie video game and wanted to use this idea to build a community. How would that even work? Do you create custom forum software to detect contributors, or just use something like fig to pay supporters if you succeed?

Players of your game could then accumulate such points by spreading the word, and exchange those points for some in-game items / benefits, for instance.
