They are getting some crazy Kickstarter funding! Let’s hope they can deliver all those stretch goals.

The profit margin likely won't be large for this game. They will need our continual support. I backed the kickstarter but I'm certainly planning to spend money this summer on early access as well.
We appreciate the support! 💙
I worry a little bit that they’ve given themselves a lot more work to do for these goals than the money really allows, but if we’re here, then we’re believers and gotta trust lol.
Our producers and leadership carefully vetted our stretch goals to make sure they would not put the project at risk. The additional funding at these milestones would offset the additional developer resources needed.
People never learn lessons with kickstarter and crowdfunding video games. Ever lol
Our game is not being crowdfunded, though! Stormgate is fully funded to release. This Kickstarter gives us funding to do things for our players that we did not budget for, like producing Collector’s Editions and inviting more players to beta.
You know how to make people feel good! 😊
