Kickstarter is chugging along but it really needs some help.

I have backed 3 games on Kickstarter.

Elite Dangerous, Rimworld and this. This is a game I really want to play and I believe these developers can deliver. I don't back lots of projects but the ones I do back tend to work out quite well.

They have a good preview, they have a good plan and they don't look like they want to get bogged down in feature creep (notice the lack of stretch goals which for me is always a good sign) and they seem like a good bunch of nerds. It's a bit long for any final payoff being Late 2016 being the release date but I waited a long time for Elite Dangerous as well and that is coming along very nicely.

The kickstarter progress halting happened to stop right when the alpha early backer level ran out. Probably not a coincidence.
They did release a beta level, though.

And now for a good question that probably needs to be asked now: is there plans for multi-platform support?

[Sharp]

It's being developed with Unity so I imagine it has a lot of capability for multi-platform support.

It looks like their plan is to release on Windows first and then go for Mac and Linux, hopefully all at the same time but Windows is priority and possible to run into issues with Mac and Linux to delay development but I would imagine it wouldn't be more then a month at worst after the Windows release.

"This Kickstarter will fund the Windows version of Flagship. We are planning to release on Mac and Linux platforms as well, but the these may come later, pending any platform specific issues we run into."

This needs more attention. Only 50% funded with a week to go. :c

Says it's on track, but it's hard to say if that will work.

I really hope this game gets backed though, it looks pretty amazing and it doesn't look like there are really any direct competitors.

I'll have to try to back this when I get home. Sure hope this thing gets the support it deserves :/

[KingofstarrySkies]

Hot damn, I want this to make it. Such a cool concept, such little love!

[Sirus]

Backed! I hadn't realized that the currency requested was British Pounds instead of USD, so I couldn't pledge as much as I initially planned 

Still, every bit helps.

I have a policy of not backing projects that aren't from people with a track record for having actually made games before. There doesn't seem to be anything on the KS page about their previous experience... does anyone know anything?
