No, because it just popped up. :)

I'm not entirely sure about it, frankly I'd be more comfortable if she had decided on which game to make first so I could "pre order" that by contributing. I like to have a good idea of what I'm paying for, before handing over the money.

On the other hand, she is Jane Jensen. And as long as the community doesn't vote for that Anglophile game (ugh) I'm pretty sure I'll want to play what she makes... but then again, maybe I'll just pay when it's done. 44 days to decide...
Yeah, I'd prefer single game.

And she definitely need to bring Gray Matter to gog
I definitely hope she's successful though. And yeah, as long as GOG sells modern games they really ought to get Gray Matter.
I really like her games, but uhhhhh ...

I need to read the KS page in detail before I make up my mind, but I'm leaning towards "no" atm. I'm hesitant to pay $50 for one game that I'll probably never play, and a game which quality can go both ways - and all of them digital copies too. One CSG cycle = 1 year. Who knows what the development process entails in that one year. It also sounds like they're setting some really ambitious goals for themselves.

And Shadowrun has already hit 40 %!

Daaaaayum, at this rate, there'll be more Kickstarter projects that interest me than games backed by a major publisher. O_o

Anyone thinks one grows more on brand name & reputation than anything else? Heard of it in the distant past but know not much bout it..

Sorry to plug my site, but I got an interview with The Dead Linger's developers Sandswept Studios up on my site. http://www.thesurvivorsboard.co.uk/thread-724.html
I'm half expecting Warren Spector and Richard Garriott to turn up with their respective kickstarters any second now.

Been an update to Wasteland 2 as well with promises for hitting $2.5M (plausible) and $3M (won't happen);

$2.5M: Bigger game world in all respects
$3.0M: Bigger game world and a modkit

Yeah.Like someone else said, starting to get too many in short space of time (like Indie bundles).No one will have any money left soon lol.
Shame about the modkit. Wonder why they put it at such a high mark?.I thought bigger world was a given anyway with anything over 1.25/1.5mill?

nijuu: Nekro - check this part of their FAQ

"Will this game be offered DRM-free? (i.e. possible to install and run on a standalone PC without an Internet connection). ...
That's actually the Vigrior : Maneuver Warfare FAQ, their response to my query. I've posted a comment there asking for some clarification, since I wouldn't consider a Steam/Desura download to be DRM-free either.

I wouldn't expect Warren Spector on Kickstarter any time soon, he has other things on his plate - see Epic Mickey 2 Coming To PC, Via 800 Devs. Richart Garriott though would be another matter - probably more likely to turn up with a space travel project than a game though.

At the current rate of growth ($30,000/day) they'll likely exceed $2.3 million, though it does seem to be picking up according to the RuinedKingdom's Wasteland tracker. It does feel somewhat as if these announcements are being carefully timed (and spread out) to maximise growth.

Well they do say that it would need a different team to develop but then the tools shouldn't be that different from what they're using to build the game with. Perhaps they feel they need to release completely different software for modding to avoid "proprietary tool" issues, especially if they're using Obsidian software.

On the other hand, maybe it's just a spur to get people to dig deeper. Next we'll have source-code release at $5 million. ;)

And by happy coincidence, the IndieRoyale April Fool's bundle has just been released. Get your credit cards ready!

Not a very convincing video, IMO. Fun to watch, though.

Agreed, imho, one of the least engaging.

BTW, anyone know anything new about Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective?
D. Marsh seems to have vanished.

@lowyhong
Would it be too much to ask to sort the list by deadline? No problem if it can't be done.
Thanks in any case.

I was on the edge of pledging for it, but i-voltmeter is canceled:

I'd prefer to back one JJ game. I'll think about it.

Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective not gonna make it. I'm a backer, but I see no possibility it will reach 55k. I think they made a mistake they wanted money for all 9 games, they should start small 8k kickstarter and ask people to donate 5$.
Scureuil, you beat me to it... I saw that before you had posted then I got talking to someone and didn't refresh the page to see if anyone else had noticed since no one had mentioned it in the 9 hours that it has been canceled.

"Looks like i-voltmeter has been canceled. :(" <----What I had said before edit.
