New Kickstarters
RETRO: A New Retro Gaming Magazine – $35k raised ($50k goal). About 1100 backers. 9 days left. They’ve got quite the lineup of contributors so this ought to be good.

Cosmic Star Heroine Update
Less than a week left to go! 🙂
I will be honest, I didn’t pay in the kickstarter because it isn’t for a console I will be playing on for the next 1.5+ years, and I don’t really pledge to pc games. I think it would of hit the goal a long time ago if ps3 had been on that list too. But the past is past. Gratz on meeting your goal and I look forward to playing the game when I eventually get a ps4 =) But for me, this Christmas is entirely devoted to the Wii U.
Now that your kickstarter is almost at the end, I wonder if you didn’t go past the goal a lot more due to the lack of stretch goals.
Don’t get me wrong, I still believe you handled that professionally, and I agree with your stance on the matter, it’s definitely better to focus on what you were planning in the first place than totally lose it by adding aditional stuff to match the funds.
I’m just wondering if there’s a relation between the lack stretch goals and lack of overfunding (not that your kickstarter wasn’t a success, it totally was!).
