FTL: Faster Than Light This Week

The Steam Page for FTL: Faster Than Light has word that this indie spaceship strategy sim will be released on Friday, providing a pretty quick payoff for their Kickstarter Campaign from less than six months ago (thanks nin). Here's a reminder of what to expect from the game:
In FTL you experience the atmosphere of running a spaceship trying to save the galaxy. It's a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields? Reroute all power to the engines in an attempt to escape, power up additional weapons to blow your enemy out of the sky, or take the fight to them with a boarding party? This "spaceship simulation roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat.

They raised a buttload of money and added some background animated art, some more ships, UI tweaks but I don't understand where all the money went

That's a fair question to ask. I wish more KS (there have been a few) would outline where the various costs went to, to backers.

Not that I'm thinking these guys did anything dishonest (I have no reason to think that), but it does make you wonder.

edit: If nothing else, it might be a good eye opener for folks to see how the sausage is made, to quote Tim Schafer.
