Well, I started my Kickstarter profile and I must say that despite not being a fan of social networking on the Internet, i've caught the Kickstarter bug like a virus:

I'm already backing a handful of projects, I hope they work out. There's some really good business opportunities there. I'd say if you pledge the right sum, you might just have a farily big role in the product. There's some great potential here.

lol true.
But they have to be interesting too and be something that you can be passionate about. That's why i've picked them. What i'd really love to do is save up over 12-18 months a couple or grand or so and substantially help fund a film project and go on board as a producer, just do something really big, take a gamble.

awww...
I like the artwork for that dystopian game, I'm surprised they didn't get their concept accepted by publishers though considering their past published games, different platform different industry I guess.

I think the main overriding thing is the deadline finishing date which makes it "live" vs not "live". If it hasn't reached its goal and the deadline comes everyone who "pledged" is not charged and the Kickstarter closes with no more possibility to donate to it. If it reached its goal in good time people can continue to donate past the goal amount up until the end deadline date. After that it closes and if you e.g. try to click on one of the rewards in the right-hand list to donate it says "Sorry, the project is not live.".Joel wrote:Ok, just a newbie question. When a project is completely backed, it's impossible to pledge following its completion date?
But many Kickstarters campaigns being to offer PayPal after they reach their initial goal (this I think avoids the issue of it not being a "confirmed for sale" product in PayPal's policy which sometimes gets accounts frozen for fraud). So people who don't have a way to pay via credit card, debit card or virtual / prepaid card can donate whilst the Kickstarter is "live" and continue to donate even after the Kickstarter is no longer "live".
However unless I'm mistaken I don't think DoubleFine opened a PayPal donation drive. Maybe because they went so far over their goal. They probably should though since Shadowrun and Wasteland 2 also shot into the millions but later adding PayPal got them another $52,969 and $108, 578 respectively.
