I mean, if a Farsight KS fails, at least we still have the regular table DLC... But this one is pretty much all-or-nothing. I hope they promote this thing well.Does anybody know: If a Kickstarter project doesn´t make it, can you just set up the same one again, just with a lower goal? I would think they have some sort of waiting period on that.By the way, light sliders for TPA sound great too <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Yeah, I hope so. No way they should let something like this demo just rot away on a shelf.Has anybody ever seen something similar? I know they use similar kind of lighting tech demos for big graphic cards, but this here is a very clever way to code around the limitations of the iPad. And I´m certainly no expert, but maybe this prerendered engine still leaves a lot of room for the physics engine? Trying to do a similar thing with polygons on the iPad would eat through the resources like crazy, and probably not look even half as good.Reminds me a bit of how the german developer Shin'en used <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVk2cWb3vF8&feature=relmfu" target="_blank">prerendered video to produce fantastic graphics on the Gameboy Advance.</a></blockquote>
