The $300,000 is probably what they would hope to get, in the best case scenario.
I've heard of other developers using kickstarters in this way.
So not reaching this goal does not necessarily mean the game will not be made, it simply means their budget for the game would be lower, they would have less money to move around with.
The first AI War game was made with much less funding. According to this article by PC Gamer it cost Arcen $150,000 to make the first AI War game. So I reason you can make another game like that for less than $300k. It's just that the extra money would pay for prettier graphics and perhaps some extra game modes.
