I will commit to a Dreamcast version.
The funding goal £28,500 will be for the PC, Linux and Mac version.

The next goal £52,500 will be for the consoles versions which includes the Dreamcast.

And one last goal will be a bonus mission 6 in Grece, with Zeus as boss (£72,500).

It's not, just the minimum needed to pay for the devkits, and pay the programmers involved in the consoles ports.
I am not getting anything from all these goals personally and all the money will go to the artists and the additional programmers.

The Dreamcast port I'll do myself for many reasons.

I will start getting some $ if it hits the Bonus mission 6 stretch goal.

Originally, I put it at £56,500 so for me to pocket an eventual £4000, but after thinking about it I decided to remove it and just have the minimum possible price point.

But, let's say for example the Kickstarter goes beyond £28,500 and end's up at £38,000 or so, I will STILL do the Dreamcast version. (but not the other consoles ones as I will need other programmers help).

Don't be afraid, for a good final product and for a wider consoles coverage, each $ will count.

It costs a lot, but that's how things are, I'll need to pay the other team members and it is at a cost.

I do this for the passion I have for Shadow Gangs, but not all the team members feel the same or can do the same.
They have families, bills etc... and can't afford for work for free which is understandable.

So the £60.00 physical version is the Dreamcast version?
If so you might want to update the info so that it states clearly that it's the physical DC version in the pledge info; also what is in it? Disk, manual - Art book? Cd with the soundtrack?

Yes, any version you choose (PC. Dreamcast, Linux or Mac).
It will have the disk and manual.

Physical art book, and physical cd are for next higher rewards.
I'll update the rewards to clarify.
