I guess you should post an actu before the release :-)
A demo with the rumble pack as a feature ?

no rumble for now, but it will be present in the finished product.

Will prepare and test the demo, and then will announce it.
Still doable, not dead the kick.

People are really supporting it this time, got lots of support messages.
We just need to reach to them, and I started to aggressively advertise it again.

Thank you very much:)
As the saying says: "It's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part"

I still have hope.
I would have preferred that you start lower and offer rewards if additional levels were reached. With such a amount you must have discouraged more than one who said to themselves that it was lost in advance...

Edit : I admit that I'm even pissed off after you because your game is magnificent and it's a shame to have asked for so much. Why didn't you set up a reward system based on the levels reached instead of asking for such an amount from the start?

I calculated how much I needed to break even, and took the taxes, shipping etc... out if of it all, and it came out with the amount I set the Kickstarter to.

If I lower the Kick goal, I won't break even, and while I can still work on the game, It won't be with full happiness/motivation.

I also was thinking there is a lot of DC fans that will back it, and that are happy to see a new game for their platforms.

Let's see how much this Kick will get, it succeeds great, if not, I will see how far did it go.

People shouldn't be discouraged, Kickstarter doesn't take money from backers if a project is not successful.

I do not doubt the amount you ask, I am like you I hope it will be successful.
What I just regret is that you asked for all the funding all at once. A reward system would have made it easier to succeed in the project, then as and when you could unlock rewards

Just giving this a little bump. The Kickstarter has 5 days remaining and is getting really close to the goal - it would be a shame if it doesn't quite make it!
