Their extra stretch goals are almost funded, jesus it's only been a day
I wonder what they're going to do with the next 44 days, considering they have more money than they could possibly need at this point

Dude the music. Anybody listening to those. Jungle World giving the kazooie vibe and Jungle Challenge giving that Tropical Freeze vibe.

It's only been 17 hours and they're almost 70% to full stretch goals.

Holy crap.

[quote=Thiefy996]I'm kinda surprised the goal is "just" 175k. I thought making a game would be more expensive, especially since it's not some indie crew.
I'm a huge fan of the N64 Banjo&Kazooie games, but for some reason I have kind of a bad prejudice regarding Kickstarter. The fact that I pay now and only get to see something for it in a year puts me off. Especially after hearing of so many failed projects that still kept the money.[/quote]

It depends on how you look at it. If you have 32 bucks to spare (for the 32 pledge). Its an investment. Due to time value of money your $32 bucks will be worth less than $32 in the future or when the game is released (lets say 1-2 year approx). If the kickstarter fails you in reality lose around 28-30 bucks. If it succeeds, your buying a limited edition package of a game that would normally cost close to 50 bucks upon release for 28-30 bucks. Your name is also forever immortalized in a game. To me the risk is worth it, but I understand if its not for some.

When you start to pledge beyond that, thats when your gambling too much, since kickstarter is not buying shares in a company as it only half-heartedly mimics it.
