    Still undecided on my pledge. Not sure I want to wait 2 years for another game.

    Interesting concept, but I sure hope they have plans for some other funding from somewhere because 500k isn't going to cut it.

    That's how it feels every time now. Every game is always advertising their kickstarters for a release 2 years from now or longer, same with game announcements in general. I'm tired of hearing about cool things and it having a long wait to even see what it's like.

    These guys seem extremely professional and organized. Their KS was possibly the most organized I've seen yet. Interesting that they still had to fight for that 500k. KS MMO over saturation and frustration I think.
    That would make since in a way.  If they didn't give into over-hyping their game but called it as they see it, they would not do overly well as most people fall for the over the top hype that promises everything, NMS for example.

    Actually in one interview creator said they need 500k for the first stage ..
    when they will release minimal viable game and it will be successful and will continue to develop based on incoming money and players development .
    Not like they gave us 100% as release everything will come step by step .
    In some older interview he said there will be no fauna at first release.

    Is that really clear on their campaign or is it a hidden side interview just a few people know about?
    Is this going to be Elyria fiasco 2.0?
    This is the first I have heard of this.  If true it makes my decision easier. Does anyone have a link to this info?

    Just the-read the campaign page.  It clearly states that everything shown is for their release.  They have ideas to move beyond that later, but here is their quote:

    What we show here is not everything, but things we can ship with the time and money we ask for!

    If someone has information that the above quote is incorrect please provide a link.

    From an interview hmm must check Kick-starter if they mentioned it there

    I'm interested to see where this one goes, but it does give off the distinct whiff of anti-climax. I'd argue that the devs have a lot of work there just to prove they've got this to potential customers and players.

    @Slapshot1188 @MikePaladin
    They said that multiple times (interviews, AMA, ...), that the KS was a way to prove that there's a market for the game, so that investors are more willing to fund it (and to reassure the investors that already funded the game to its actual state). In a recent interview on the "DM21 Gaming" youtube channel, JC says that an investor already called him after the KS success and is willing to give even more fund than before. And if needed, I'm pretty sure they'll find more.
