I didn't say market. I said you need to build a community. You need to find people who want a game like this but can't build it. Then get them to talk to you and you talk to them. They will help spread your idea. Until you get some like minded people you have no idea if you have a market. Once you know you do have some people (and your mom and friends dont count) kick starter will help you reach more people, but kickstarter cant be your first move.

How is building a community different from marketing?

Marketing focuses on your sales goals. Community building focuses on the community's goals. They are related but that subtlety is important.
