Lava+Metal... looks feasible, we'll see.
They could patch that in the game later or release a dlc.
Yea, I'm pretty confident they'll make enough money on this that they can do that if they want to.  Whether they'll want to depends on a ton of other factors.

But I'm not sure it actually goes towards the stretch goals:

From http://planetaryannihilation.com/ :
Quote
Are PayPal donations applied to the Kickstarter funding goal?
No, PayPal donations do not count toward the Kickstarter funding goal. However, PayPal donations will receive the appropriate rewards based on the amount. Kickstarter should be seen as the primary way to fund this project and PayPal is a backup method for those unable to fund via Kickstarter for whatever reason.

Whether that means "it just doesn't show up in the number on the KS page" or "it doesn't make progress towards stretch goals" is the part I'm not clear on.

I'd been thinking more 'KS + Paypal - unfufilled pledges = still pretty close to the stretchgoal or past it.'
Because theres going to be at least a couple payment failures unless there isn't any.

All the "this is how you should compute how much to ask for on your kickstarter" material I've seen includes a portion for unfulfilled pledges, so I'm thinking they've already factored that in, but sure.

And it's not like they don't have any money for self-funding either: if they're really serious about wanting a given "stretch" feature in, I don't think they'll let the lack of $10k or whatever like that stop them.

But even just the $900k goal has pretty serious potential for "awesome game", we're just in the bonus rounds here.

Personally I think they're going to hit all 5 stretch goals without a problem.  Basic human Psychology - something becomes much more valuable when it's about to end.  I think we'll see a huge influx of money to hit the 1.9 million mark, unless stretch goals 4 and 5 are unbelievably stupid.

Have they said that stretch goal 5 will be 1.9M?

No word on stretch goal pricing past metal planets, but its reasonable to assume they are at 1.7/1.9m. Another update is coming "later this week" (so today/tomorrow/saturday?) with another stretch goal and more info on the game.

On a related note, has anyone else had a Kickstarter tab open for basically the entire campaign?

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

*Raises hand

Not so much the last couple of days, but for a bit there it really was a fixture on the ol' top of the browser window.

Total Annihilation is serious business.

While I haven't kept it open, I have kept completely in touch with this discussion.
...and I'm really really hoping to pick this game up. It looks amazing and I must know what the other stretch goals will be. On this forum, I'm sure the exact moment they are posted, the post count of this thread will skyrocket and a glance will give me the update I want. No problemo.

Damnit, I want to support that more. But I can't add anything more to my pledge without turning it into a unsuccessful funding.
