AstralWanderer: Kingsport got funded but only after the developers
contributed $8,000 of their own money.
While they deserve kudos for being upfront about it, it does seem to undermine the point of KS somewhat.
"Unfortunately, if the Kickstarter fails, The Kingsport Cases will not be made and in fact, Machines in Motion might have to close its doors. Naturally, we don’t want that to happen, so we’ve decided to see the Kickstarter the rest of the way ourselves."
very good reason to top up and as they pointed out seems to be something under KS rules you are allowed to do.
Im almost sure some other KS have had devs contribute their own money as well...so not sure it would a first time thing
