More Project Eternity Goals

[Oct 11, 2012, 10:25 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Kickstarter Campaign for Obsidian Entertainment's Project Eternity shows this fundraiser has passed its $2.6 million stretch goal, and announces the rewards that go along with that milestone (thanks nin). They have complete details on rewards for every tier, as well as the artwork that will go on some of the reward merchandise. Word is they will close out this campaign with their foot firmly on the accelerator:

We have a lot of great stuff planned over the next six days. Josh is doing a lore update tomorrow along with some other BIG announcements, we are organizing an AMA over on reddit so everyone can ask Tim, Josh, Feargus and myself (Adam) a ton of questions, and we are getting our crazy ideas put together for the live stream of the last hours of the campaign next Tuesday.

It is an interesting point. I mean games, like movies, are famous for going over budget and over time. I wonder how it changes development planning, if at all, when you know the budget is pretty much set rather then a big AAA production where you can go to a meeting, make a pitch for more time and money, and with some luck you are off and running again. With a Kickstarter, are the employees simply paid a flat contractor's fee for the project rather then hourly, for example. I at least would be interested to hear how that works.
