Then perhaps we should all send a message to them saying something like the following:

That sounds like a good way to get journalistic hatred and a cold shoulder in the future.

I think everyone has just straight up ran out of questions. :D

Maybe that means I'll get some development time tomorrow! :)

Today wasn't great on the funds front. 3k and dropping. Bit of a concern because we need to average 3k every day to make the goal!

Hey Simon I looked over your kickstarter again and there is just one hung which is really missing, that is that your not really explaining how a average game would play out. You have a little section on the game it's self but it does not add much.

Maybe going on in a update ( still you should try and get one out most over days ) you should go on to do a huge update talking about your collective ideas on how a standard game will run.
how does game starts ?
What supply's do we get at the start?
What's it like to start off with where do you start ?
 How do I progress ?
 How do I research ?
Colonists do they have skills ?
Are they important ?
 How do I make more imp bots ?
 What other bots can I make ?
Weapons, how am I going to defend my self ?
Do we have to live underground ?
Endgame what's going to be at endgame level stuff ?

Maybe doing a dev log would be a good idea as well ?

I don't mean to be rude or sound harsh but if you have seen "sir you are being hunted" they have only just started up and they are already at how much you have accumulated so far. I think the main page is a little cluttered you could tidy some of that up at the bottom in the spoiler type tab things.

I also think a game play video would do you wonders, sort of something like in the beginning and would show off what happens then from when you first start, now I know we are very early alpha but you could just script the hell out of it to show a general concept of what is going to happen

I'm going to do a bit writeup where I explain all this and hopefully show a few bits of it too. Will answer all those questions and post them in an update. :)

Sir you are being hunted has got way more cash because Jim owns 1/4 of Rock paper shotgun and has been a journo for 20 years. Plus had friends like Warren Ellis who have 500k-1m followers on twitter. Frankly there isn't any way in hell that I can hope to even touch on that.

Well, from what i've seen so far you sure are getting a lot of attention even without having an established fanbase so just keep at it.

There we go, pledged for the Rachel Rosen tier. That was probably one of the best rewards I could think of in a game, having my name actually be in it :p
