It was painfully obvious they wouldnt reach their goal, they Kickstarted wrong.

The Kickstarter money will allow us to:
- Bring in professional translators
- Have a full, original soundtrack and sound effects written and recorded
- Purchase hardware for testing (we want to support a wide range of devices, not everyone can afford a top end iPad!)
- Purchase additional licenses (we love you Linux users, why should you be left out?)
- Allow us to continue developing this title full-time until completion (work began in January and actual game development started in April!)

None of these things should ever be required for their Kickstarter to succeed but used as stretch goals. (If you are depending on making an indie game for money then you are either delusional or already an established indie developer)

Ask for the minimum amount of money it will take to make the game then if you get more than that then you add the extra features.
If you don't get the minimum your game most likely wouldn't sell anyways, and if you didn't get an over-abundance of sales to implement unneeded specials then your game probably isn't interesting enough despite those features.



I've been thinking about Kickstarting the game I've been working on with Zac, if only to gauge interest before we commit to the long haul.
edit: and asking for a really low minimum to get a web domain and host or something
