I had gotten the $15 early-bird-get-the-game option, but seeing them hit the goal and already be a quarter of the way from there to the first stretch goal (naval combat, water planets) I... I wanted this stuff to happen, man ;)  $40 in.  Beta access doesn't hurt, though I know I won't have much time for it.

It's interesting, I've been in on a few kickstarters before, but this is the first one where I feel a genuine urgency that I want this project to happen.

Probably all those many, many hours I sunk into Total Annihilation...

I backed both this and Project Giana so they both got $25 backing from me. Otherwise I would've likely bumped my backing of PA. But it's a tad much, and I'm not made of money :P

If only I wasn't broke, I would support this :(. I really want this game after hearing them talk about it.

I find it's rather unusual to have a Kickstarter this early in development. Usually they have some gameplay videos, art and maybe even a demo up before going off.

This. Though I haven't been on any before. But this project and project Giana both had me screaming "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!"

Absolutely, I agree with this wholeheartedly.  I haven't been this excited about a game since Supreme Commander 1.

I spent $100 that I don't have just to support them.  I really have a good feeling about this one.

Anyone see http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts/#chart-exp-projection ? My personal bet is it'll hit 1.5 million easy, probably in the 1.8 million ish range.

@Moonshine: I'm pretty sure you can bump up your pledge and they won't charge till the poject gets funded, if you're sure you can afford the price difference by sep 14.
