I know it may not be possible, but I'd back the Kickstarter if the physical copy came with both Steam and Vita digital codes.
OK in the completely fantasy like setting where they decide to include a Kickstarter exclusive collectors box of sorts with physical pc along with vita, would that interest you?
You mean physical PC and digital Vita instead of physical PC and digital Vita + Steam? It could very well happen, yes.
Box including Physical, Steam+Vita, yeah.
And say that would be possible, what range would you find yourself willing to pledge?
For physical PC and both digital Steam and Vita... I don't know, I wouldn't go higher than the double digital tier ($99). I wish Sekai Project could just add the Vita port to every tier with a Steam digital code, but that'd be a lot more than it's realistic to think of.
In regards to pricing, there are 2 issues. One is that its a funding campaign whereas the developer now has to squeeze a completely unforseen project which sets their entire schedule out of the loop, and as such we can't make it a pre-order shop.
Second issue is that there is no single entity or person that can add or decide on anything. Sekai Project is merely one of the involved parties, and not at liberty to make sweeping changes such as that. We do work on improving everything and communicating with everyone involved to our best ability however.

Well, in a world of fantasy I would like to see a physical vita version where voices can be downloaded as a DLC, or that it could include two cartridges...(so it fits), or as the size is 3.6gb better compressed game could fit on a 4gb cartridge?
On a more realistic side I would like to see a collector's box with game pc physical+ost+(artbook although stretch goal is not met?)+vita code.(price 150$)
I know I may be asking too much but as we have to say things that would be my opinions, I may think of more things later.
Also(for the purpose of the campaign not that I'm interested) I would add more 2000$ tiers since they have been a success.

A 150 tier with collectors box, digital and physical ost, digital steam + vita version, physical pc version, mini artbook, name in credits.
The artbook is not so important for me, but i would like to see a tier with all the other things.
And thank you for the hard work, it means a lot to me, i love Nakazawas Visual Novels, and i dont want to miss his maybe best VN yet
Edit: some ideas from the kickstarter comments:

Like some of the others are saying, a Collector's Edition is probably what I'd like to see the most. In an ideal fantasy world where anything was possible a physical Vita edition would be the greatest thing to happen even if it was just a standard edition, but alas I'm aware of the limitations of the real world
I can't see myself going any higher than my current pledge though ($275), I've had to make enough cuts as it is!

Yep,the same I've said.
People no kickstarter want multiple configuration/tiers for a collector box so people can chose.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Twitter too. Hope it has an effect

Collector's edition confirmed at $125! And $140 with digital Vita. Tempting...
That's great news, hope this will push it over the finish line.

Thanks for the amazing work, Audi.

Ok. Collector's edition got me to up my pledge to $125 from $99!

It'll break 100k very soon now. The tiers finally look pretty well rounded, though it took a long time to get there.

I don't see this doing another 80k in the 6 remaining days.

Very tempted to up my pledge to $125
Seriously thanks for all your hard work,now that we're honest in the beginning the kickstarter was a bit of a mess, but you've adressed all the mistakes and now everything is nice :3
As said(and knowing the limitations) the only thing missing (for me) is the possibility of a physical vita, other than that this looks awesome and I thank you and your team for that.
PS:You've made me pledge that 140 tier having not too much money but it looks awesome and can't miss it and want this game to exist and be playable(in japanese vn are not playable imo)
got 6 days to go. plenty of time.

People don't understand how Kickstarter funding trends and just look at the 30k distance and panic.

the $140 tier is great, this will be my final pledge
Thank you Audi!!
Thank you Audi!!
While I enjoy the majority of the Reddit VN community, I sadly also get more than enough messages about either shipping off the company's financial reports cause...reasons, or good ol' threats. I take none of these things seriously and sometimes I just reply with the lyrics to I'll Make Love To You from Boyz II Men smash hit album II. In other words I try to focus more on the actuality of the situations than redditors over-assumptions and anger.
Wonder how regular people justify asking for a company's financial reports from different quarters. It would make our partners go Chong Li on my Van Damme bottom if we'd just give that out.
Why would people ask for Sekai Project's financial reports?

Sounds excellent; just backed for $140.

You should see the conspiracy theories about SP on /jp/. Every time someone grabs a higher tier there's some truther there to tell the world how you are funding your own Kickstarter.
So the exact reasons are never clear, but my theory is that since the VN community is mostly grown out of a very knitted and open fan translation community, they sort of expect official companies to be held to the same standard as a fansubber.
This is not just Sekai mind you, I got friends working at other companies that tell me the exact same.
Maybe groups thinking of going official? Could be the reason. It's off-topic, but interesting.

Probably to "prove" whether or not they are capable of funding this project (or any other) without relying on Kickstarter. Though I would hope that anyone who could actually accurately read and understand a company's full financial report would be old and mature enough not to make idiotic demands like that.
Also, dangit Sekai Project, what are you doing to me? I was having a hard enough time resisting backing this due to financial constraints, and now you dangle a collector;s box in front of me for a very reasonable price? Curse you!
