I like how these guys are now master budgeteers and time management geniuses. They know how much this will cost and how much time. I thought this industry really had problems with both of those. But Kickstarter is all that is needed to be masters of such things. "They should have done this years ago!".
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.
