Yeah, 1,5 times is more likely... However I did some math using the previous two rounds, and I think we will have ~500 backers with 55±5k $ in the end. (man, i love to overanalyze things...)
It is more like a single battle. It will be you defending in a battle your THMPR. It is to show the fun of combat in a very small sample of play. It will be a tiny small piece of the big game.
If we hit the stretch goals of $60k and complete the playable mockup, what we will have funded is a player-driven event that will be fundamental to the game. If you player firefall, it's the equivalent of thumping. It exists in the open world and happens whenever someone starts it. Anyone can participate in the event.
When the milestone is over on Indiegogo, then one of the Devs will link us all up and contact us if needed. They'll take care of it all as soon as it ends. In the meantime, us new folks to the forum are New Member types...
That is correct. Once this round is over the team will match up titles and the forums and such. I hope they continue to show all names for each time someone has backed a milestone.
