Thanks man.

Yes very close.  :o

I think I'll stop making updates on kickstarter until the end of it. I had 3-4 cancelations just after I posted the last update. Maybe I offended some people IDK  :P

Correlation != causation. It could be that your update simply reminded them that they intended to cancel, not necessarily that you offended anyone.

Projects usually get a boost at the end when people who have set a reminder all get an email about it ending soon, usually about 48 hours prior

Yeah, don't think the updates would make people cancel. IF it did, the updates would end up making more people fund the project because they'd see it as being active with an active developer. So anyone who cancels cause of it, would be outweighed by the people who fund an active project with updates.

Unless one of the updates was "HAHA suckers got your money", before the funding was done...that would definitely not work out :P

Yeah don't worry I am planning to make this update AFTER I get the funds.
Then I will post a picture of me swimming in banknotes. Or maybe a picture of a shiny car with a nice sign "Thanks to all the backers"  .
Then 2 months later I'll make a sad and whinny post saying I couldn't finish the game because COVID disrupted everything and I ran out of money.

game needs some cool gifs of the physics doing funny cruel or complex things so that people can share something to their friends, it's very hard to convince ppl with a couple pixelated screenshots.

I agree, but I prefer to keep things honest and just show What I have actually done. It is easy to create fake mechanisms in an Unity scene but this can be deceiving in the long run.
Maybe in 6 months (or even before) there will be tons of cool polished things to share, this will be the right time to build up some hype.

7 days left, at 7,399 euros. Still a week to go, so still possible for the 10k.

Even if not, game is looking great as it is and you did say can always add it in later still
