Kickstarter backer tiers: feedback and more ideas, please!

Release Raptor is canceled, and yet this is the first thing I see when I open arcengames.com . It  proudly occupies the first featured spot.

Good point.  I'll poke D/A about that.

Fixed! Thanks for pointing it out!

So I talked with a friend about the kickstarter and he was genuinely interested until it came to his wish to have the game + OS and then he saw the minimum price for that aka 100$ and he said bye since in his words generaly OS is offered on kickstarter at a lot lower tier (20-30$). But what do I know this is my third Kickstarter. So my point is if its possible to get OS + version 1.0 of the game at a lower price point tier. Could bring more people in that don't wan't the more sofisticated stuff like plots, design subfaction,etc. Might be worth to think about it.

The soundtrack would be a good place for an addon. Something like this:

"Add $10 to any tier to add OST to it."

You'd need to use Backerkit to manage that later and figure out who gets what, so it ups the complexity on the other end some, but it does let you do it without adding more tiers.

I, for one, would happily pay for an OST addon .

Addons in general is something that the Kickstarter probably could benefit from. I understand wanting to avoid external management sites and that overhead, and the admin overhead at the end of the campaign, but there's a few low-hanging addon fruit that can easily be picked up with just the end-of-campaign survey. Additional game copies (either alpha/early-release/release at respective prices), the OST, and maybe buy-a-forum-badge-upgrade for $5/$10 a tier. It also saves the clutter in the rewards list from all the 1/2/4 etc copies.
