from the kickstarter:
Dynamight Studios is a financially stable company. Careful business planning, coupled with backing from the three founders and private investors, make us feel safe about the future of the project. Moreover, we already have open channels with a few large game publishers that have shown interest in Fractured.
Kickstarter can add a lot to that, though.
First of all, it will allow us to immediately add a few professionals we've already selected to the team (such as a new 3D artist, a developer, an animator and a VFX artist). This will prevent us from having to cut down on game features, ultimately giving us the chance to fulfill 100% of our vision for Fractured.
Moreover, Kickstarter lets us expand our audience, open a new line of communication with our supporters, receive further feedback on our ideas and figure out how appealing Fractured is among the crowd of MMO lovers. While not financial, these benefits are still invaluable!
