It would be interesting to see other companies try to do things like this. From http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/news/2009/10/ns_7th_anniversary_progress_and_first_ns2_screenshots http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/news/2009/10/ns_7th_anniver... "The great thing about the pre-orders is that they have allowed us to hire another programmer (although it took some time to find the right person) and he will help tremendously." I think it's pretty cool when people know what the preorder money is going into. It allows them to feel like they have a hand in the development of the game. Very impressive stuff for such a small game studio.
