UPDATED AUGUST 20

Some thoughts on where the funding campaign may end up.

I'm going to assume an end date for the campaign of December 31st, 2014. The game should be in beta by then and on its way to release in early 2015, if the schedule remains the same as it is now.

There are 499 days between today and the above presumed end date.

The campaign currently sits at $15.736 million.

Since January 1st, 2013 the campaign has averaged ~$36800 per day.

The slowest period during the campaign was February 15th to April 25th where it averaged ~$10000/day.

The strongest period during the campaign was June 21st to July 10th where it averaged ~$200000/day


Campaign final total @ $40000/day = $35.7 million (If average daily funding continues to increase.)

Campaign final total @ $36800/day = $34.1 million (If average daily funding long-term is continued at this year's average to date.)

Campaign final total @ $30000/day = $30.7 million (Added because current average is roughly $30k/day)

Campaign final total @ $25000/day = $28.2 million (Added because current "low days" are about $25k)

Campaign final total @ $20000/day = $25.7 million (If average daily funding continues strongly but fades somewhat.)

Campaign final total @ $10000/day = $20.7 million (If average daily funding long-term drops significantly from current levels.)


Given the above I think it is almost certain that we will see a game that is completely crowdfunded. Should be interesting!
