Freddie Wong’s crowdfunding campaign for a third seasons of the web film series Video Game High School is off to a good start. The Indiegogo campaign has raised $170,296 out of its goal of $750,000 after one day.

The results so far suggest that the campaign will be successful, but it still needs to show steady sustained contributions for the next 29 days. The campaign is a test as to how much traction Wong’s web films have gotten to date. The episodic series has more than 64 million views after two seasons, and Wong raised more than $1 million last year fund his campaigns.
