(I was one of the big backers of the original).As for funding - the whole point is that in traditional game development, you either find a publisher who advances you a big sum of money (advance for future royalties) and do the development and basically have the publisher own your soul, or you try to raise money independently. For wealthy studios like Valve and Blizzard, this is easy, but less wealthy ones (you need to be able to sponsor the developers to eat for a year, remember), it means selling your soul to the publisher or it just never gets done.It's also a good gauge to bring to investors as well - if you can prove that you have 10K people interested that they committed $100K of money to your project, then those investors may kick in more money now that they know there's actually people interested enough to put some skin on the line.And yes, like all investments, it has a chance of failing. Such is life, and investors generally have seen it happen to them. KS projects are no different, except the amount of money is smaller - instead of investing $10K or $100K, most people kick in under $100.And yes, I'll be backing this one as well. I hope their perks are scaled to 1/4 of the values. I kicked in $500 last time. I can't imagine doing so 4 separate times now.</blockquote>
