What is a "Deluxe Edition" of Cactus Canyon? Must be the only one in existence.
Its not going to be 22.499. That was what they went over the 55k with, but a part of that goes to kickstarter and I assume a certain amount of credcards bounced, which would come out of that 22.499.what does that mean? i thought it was 22.499 $ - or is it 32499 in total already?

I think you're lucky if you have 15k left after that, so I assume something in between 10 and 15k is what was already raised for STTNG, which is perfectly realistic.
Also, I think STTNG will be a screaming success now that PSN europe is on board as well, especially if they get a DLC pack for xbox out prior or at the start.
I don't think FarSight is going to pay Kickstarter and Amazon fees out of the excess funds. Those fees were already considered beforehand, but you are correct about the possibility of credit cards being declined for whatever reason.
so from 22.499 something like 10.000 is still left? ain't there a better way than using "kickstarter.com"? maybe directly thru the farsight website? thru donations or their shop?
No, but the excess funds ALSO lose their % in kickstarter/amazon funds, so approx 2.250 dollars.
They would never make it that way, Kickstarter is way more high profile, way more safe and proven. The fact you only pay the money when the goal has been met, the fact it has the technology and infrastructure to maintain these high finance investment project is also worth time and money. So no, doing it themselves is not an option. Kickstarter doesn't "get" just 10% for doing nothing, the website itself has a technological, administrative and infrastructural backend that costs money to maintain. There is a reason kickstarter has gotten so big: what they are doing isnt easy to do on your own. Thats why companies like Double Fine or the Wasteland 2 guys go there, and these are companies that are several sizes that of FS.
I've heard prior from other kickstarterprojects between 5 to 10% of billing charges bounce. Say out of the total amount (77.500?) about 7.5% of the creditcard charges got denied. That leaves 71.688, minus 55000 for the original funding of TZ. Leaves 16668, take out 10% of what kickstarter gets over THAT amount and you are at 15019 already.
Yea, IJ pinball machines don't run cheap these days...
Good point bavelb...$15,000 sounds about right then, so the ST:TNG Kickstarter goal should be around $40,000 which I believe will be funded in no time.
When exactly is the STTNG kickstarter going to begin?

I posted this on the news article, but it's relevant here too:
Notice that this video is not on Farsight's official YouTube page yet. My guess is they've had this video ready and are waiting to post it officially (and start the Kickstarter) until more DLC is available.
While I would be ready to donate today, it's probably in their best interest to wait until the Twilight Zone is released. Some percentage of those donors will be butthurt if they get hit up for another donation before seeing the previous kickstarted project come to fruition.
this should be the last kickstarter this year (and hopefully ever)
