Why would you think that?
Right now they're mostly making concept art, ideas to put into the game, we just had the first actual small demo with a THMPR mek animation test, the game isn't even in alpha yet ...
The difference is, were getting to see development from the very start, unlike where almost every game isn't shown untill they have at least an alpha.
The game will be made, but it hasn't started full production yet, that's untill at least after kickstarter.
There is no investor as of yet to throw tons of money at the game, we the fans are the investor pretty much, and judging by the milestone successes, it's working out really well.
