Elmofongo, I agree that this guy may be too naive to succeed. Let's hope for the best. (I pledged just $1 as a sign of general support, so I won't get anything either way.)
I'd suggest that you pledge something and discuss that on the Kickstarter comments. Frankly from my POV the web version is close enough, and at $9 I think it's very good value.
lowyhong: Because the list is growing, I'm not going to randomly add any project that comes along. If I don't add it to the list, but you really want it in there, you'll have to explain why the project should be in there. I check the thread (more) often (than I think I will), so I rarely forget to add a good project into the list. What's the criteria for not adding a project? It's hard to argue if a project should be on the list if I can't tell what normally makes it and what doesn't.

I'll usually post it anyway if you can explain why the project's worth looking at, even if it only appeals to a niche crowd.
Examples of what won't go on to the list:

No disrespect intended for not including the Steampunk Holmes project. I can tolerate and even appreciate pastiches, but I don't care for popular characters rewritten by other authors in alternate universes, especially characters that I like.

Oh come on. I think the GOG community is smart enough to make informed decisions ;)

However, when Western people do make such a game, they are often "inspired" by particular games so much that in addition to imitating the mechanics, they produce a twice-digested sorry pile of misunderstanding. I bet you a hundred bucks that if someone made a random selection of undoctored backstory synopsises only from various RPGs made and proposed by Westerners, I'll easily tell which ones are, or are meant to be, "JRPGs".
This game, however, is very in-your-face about NOT having any crystal maiden regurgitated wtf in it. And that's good.

Is anyone backing Best Friends Forever? This looks like it may actually turn out to be a good movie. 11 hours to go.

Usually what they forget to think of, is getting the word out.
