There are still a fairly large number of games going to KS route (or FIG). I've backed a number of them and have had quite good luck so far. As for GOG getting them, I tend to not back games on KS/FIG anymore unless they guarantee a GO (or at least DRM-free) release. But yeah, there are still plenty to choose from.

Games I've backed on KS/FIG that have been released on GOG:

Pillars of Eternity
Divinity Original Sin
Divinity Original Sin 2
Balrum
Torment:Tides of Numenera
Shadowrun:Hong Kong
Pillars of Eternity 2 (FIG)

Upcoming projects I've backed that are supposedly going to have a GOG release:

Banner Saga 3
Black Geyser
Wasteland 3 (FIG)

Games I backed available on GOG:

Tex Murphy: A Tesla Effect
Dreamfall Chapters

Game I backed which is hopefully soon on GOG as well (wishlist it here)

Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure

(Only part of the intro and pretty early teaser trailer - waiting for the launch trailer to arrive - soon)

I backed quite a bunch of KS (and Fig) games. Now I am somewhat weary of it, because not all of them put that easy if you want a GOG code...
Here is a list of what I backed:

Released:
Sundered(KS) *
Rad Rodgers(KS) *
MachiaVillain(KS)
For The King(KS)
Overfall(KS)
Tower 57(KS) *
Songbringer(KS) *
Halcyon 6(KS) *
Sheltered(KS)
The Aquatic Adventure of the last Human(KS) *
Pillars of Eternity II (Fig)

I marked with an (*) games that ran a good campaign and treated GOG backers nicely, IMHO

Upcoming:
Wildfire(KS)
Copper Dreams(KS)
Stygian(KS)
The Iron Oath(KS)
Sea Salt(KS)
Xenonauts 2(KS)
Consortium: The Tower (Fig)
Phoenix Point (Fig)

I've backed Yooka-Laylee and Psychonauts 2.

I'm looking into backing more but I do love reading reviews so I know what I'm getting into. Psychonauts and Yooka-Laylee came from well-known sources, so that's the reason I backed them.

Don't like this system. Mostly because of its rewards, which are pretty systematically in-game immersion-breaking winks to the backers. When not to the kickstarter campaign itself.

When I played Goetia I discovered this special room with some names and portraits on a wall and before I even noticed that these might be the backers I actually was trying to find out for what puzzle these names could be helpful. So no it's not necessarily immersion breaking to include backers inside the game.

Sometimes. When developers make the right design choices. There are plenty of games where you constantly find NPCs named "AmazingDick93" or something worse just because it was some stupid backer reward.

Any examples, please? I've never found such a case (and it would speak very lowly of the devs for accepting stupid names like that).

I have backed Wasteland 3 and Consortium the Tower both on Fig, although Consortium started in Kickstarter.

I have several games in Kickstarter now that are funded and several that are complete and delivered.

I only have one that failed and I lost my funds with no product to show for it.

I am considering backing Xenonauts 2, but I probably won't. Our family is about to entry a 12-month reduction of income. And I don't foresee money for games for that period of time. I'm about to spend the steam money I've piled up in this summer sale. And I have more than six months left on my humble bundle monthly, so I'll be just fine. (Truth to tell, I'd be just fine anyway. I still have some big RPGz to play as well as dozens of HOGd and adventure games. Plus some assassin Creed games and dark souls.)

Right, I was just recalling things (and maybe exaggerating a bit...). Not to mention something about Stretch Goals...
Dick comes from "Richard", you lil' perv´ XD
Anyway, you'd like him. No one ever lies in his nickname, so he is surely amazing (and 93) :P
Maybe I was exaggerating a bit...
No self-respecting gamer would use that name. But it is true that, when it comes to backer names appearing in a name, you come across a weird mixture of "Mark Smith"-like names, "Faendel"-like, "Chaoslord"-like and "Mike96"-like (not any of these real names, and if they are this is just a coincidence, etc.)
It is OK if you find them written on a wall, a monument or whatever, but with NPCs it just doesn't look right to me.
e.g. Satellite Reign (even though any kind of name would be acceptable in a cyberpunk society), or the ghosts in For The King

Pillars of Eternity had a lot of weird immersion-breaking names on the tombstones and plaques. But you had to be actively looking for said tombstones/plaques ion order to see them, so IMO it wasn't a big deal. Other people didn't like it.

Fair enough. I haven't played any of those games, though I own the former (and now I'll be prepared for when I do and meet that NPC, not to cringe too much :P).

I've seen plenty of Kickstarted games with backer names in more-or-less discreet places, but never on NPCs, hence my question.
