Telepath Tactics back on Kickstarter

Folks! It’s baaaa-aaaaaack…

I will now preemptively answer your questions using my astounding psychic powers:

Wait. Didn’t you already run a Kickstarter?

    … soooo you needed 25K (but got only 15) and 3 months later you “magically” need 15K only… this is why I will never ever back any project on Kickstarter.

    I didn’t “only get” $15,000 the first time: people pledged more than $18,600. If I were just going to cynically lower the goal to exactly what I knew people would already pledge, I would have picked $18,600, not $15,000.

    The reason for the reduced goal is nothing but arithmetic. I’m no longer planning to use Kickstarter money for a professional sound designer (which single-handedly accounted for $12,000 of the goal in the first campaign). $25,500 minus $12,000 equals $13,500. During the first campaign, I got a number of complaints about the tiles, so I budgeted extra to hire someone to expand the tilesets and create more natural-looking tile transitions. That put the total somewhat higher, at $15,000. You probably could have figured that out for yourself if you’d followed the link I posted above.
