Crowfall Kickstarter ends w/almost a million over their goal

[Zeli]

Crowfall's Kickstarter officially came to a close with $1,783,796 $1,766,204 raised from over almost 17,000 backers. If you recall, they only needed $800k to fund, so they managed to surpass that and hit quite a few stretch goals. Now comes the hard part. All the work to make this happen!

So what stretch goal goodies can you expect from your contribution? Which one are you looking forward to the most?
Here's the list:

Correction:

The email sent by Crowfall says the amount raised is $1,783,796 and over 17,000 backers.

The Kickstarter page says the amount raised is $1,766,204 by 16,936 backers.

So how does this work? My assumption is that at the time of collection, some backers may not have actually had the funds for the funding they promised. So now that it's under 17,000 backers, is that one stretch goal not going to happen?

Unfortunately, I don't think they're legally held to anything. My guess is that they'll just do what they can to cover all of the unlocked stretch goals, but I have a feeling some of it will happen "sometime after launch" for "free".

They've set up an additional contributions button on their page as well. It looks like they're going for the "Star Citizen" model, though hopefully we don't end up paying hundreds for extra goodies we can only look at until launch.

No, I haven't invested anything in SC. My night manager has. Because he thought the big ship looked cool.
