Hmm, this looks great but I've never played the original. I might back if it looks to be struggling, but honestly I really need to cut back on backing Kickstarter projects.

Hmm... I don't think it'll get anywhere near the goal with the way it's currently going.

Looks like they reduced the number of $20 "early bird" rewards from 20,000 to 2,000. I guess 20,000 was a bit optimistic.

If you run the maths I don't think it was optimistic in the numbers they actually need to make this viable, but rather that, at that price point, they need more than the 20,000 just to break even on the project to get it funded. Pushing up to a higher price rate for the game thus decreases the numbers they need - which is a big concern for them.
They basically need to make around 22K per day to meet their target
(650,000/30)
It's a big goal for them, esp consider their niche market. I just really hope that they get some attention from the big advertising groups - that is bloggers, youtubers and game review sites/magazines. If they can maximise on that early one they might well get the numbers and the attention to really bring the project through to funding.

I hope TotalBiscuit does some plugging for the game on his Twitter, considering he loves it.

Only $60K so far. I start to seriously doubt they're gonna succeed. :(

PEOPLE we've only one option left!
Spam Total Biscuits email!
That and possibly a few other notable bloggers/youtubers/professional review sites/forums/etc..
(actually seriously don't spam cause spam gets deleted and casts a bad light on things, but spread the word - spread it far!)

I've known this series for a week and I already feel emotional about this... What sorcery are they using?
I will probably pledge, but I need to count my moneyses beforehand.

Yeah, it's going slow. I think people might be a bit pledged out at the moment, so to speak.
I've already plonked down my $35, so here's to hoping it makes it.

It's sad that they came so late with this, they've picked just the time of kickstarter 'burnout,' when most people have pretty much blown their budget for KS projects.
