It's good that they use flexible funding and will get their funds regardless if the goal is reached or not. Very ambitious goal indeed.

- nonchalance 13y agoFor me at least, flex funding is a big warning sign. If the target goal is not met, it's not clear how the funds will be used (AFAICT there's no restriction) -- it could just line the founders' pockets with no progress on the project
- 300bps 13y agoThanks for bringing up the issue. I saw that they have at the bottom of their campaign a, "What are the goals for the campaign?" with listed dollar amounts for each goal. For $40,000 for example they have, "Reduce or Eliminate Lag". Of course no guarantee they'll do that if they reach that level but I'm not sure if there is a guarantee they'll succeed at anything even if they reach the total goal amount.
- bryanlarsen 13y agoIt's open source software with clear funding goals. ($40K gives us 2 guys for 6 months, $60K gives us 2 guys for 9 months etc.) Each dollar donated gives us more developer time, and I'm confident they'll linearly interpolate. The game is playable now, so there's no risk of non-delivery, but by donating you can make it better.
