Donated earlier today.

How is this not getting more attention on gaf? The game looks and sounds super promising.

Oh..

Just looked into this and IndieGoGo doesn't have a facility to let you change your perk/contribution. Hopefully the campaign organisers can do it manually or something

Though if not, guess I can just throw another 3€ at it
 
This has a few things working against it:

1. The minimum buy-in for a full copy ($34) is kind of a lot for a brand-new IP.
2. You're charged the instant you back the project instead of only being charged if the project is successful. They'll refund you if it's unsuccessful but I think you'd lose the PayPal service fee in that event.
 
On one hand, I'm amazed this isn't hitting it's goal faster. I feel like it's had a lot of indie hype for a while now.

On the other, I think they did a terrible job hyping up the crowdfunding campaign. I didn't even know they were thinking of going that route until about 15 days in to the campaign when I first heard about it. I guess it also doesn't help that a lot of what the game actually is is still pretty vague and unclear and it also seems like anything not in US dollars suffers on these things (that can't be helped though).

Hopefully they pull it off. The game seems pretty cool and unique.
 
Find it incredible that this hasn't been funded yet either on Indiegogo or by a publisher. Why isn't Sony coughing up that modest amount and make it a PSN exclusive or something. Seems like a perfect fit to me.

Unless the PS4 is too weak for the graphical fidelity this game has going for.
