Anyone that can't already see the shitshow this will be deserves to have their money taken.

Its already being worked on, Space engine

>the only person they could find to be excited about it was Randy Pitchford
Also I don't think there's been a single successful Kickstarter that didn't show gameplay

NDT is insanely popular, so it'll probably be funded by the twitter normies.

So it'll be profoundly boring. Smart guy, but he doesn't know shit about games and the fact that when things are less real, they're more fun.

Sounds like they just want to make some Universe Sandbox type shit, not an actual game

For their sake I hope the funding goal doesn't get reached. It's pretty clear that none of them have really any idea what they are trying to commit to. Lack of funding would give them an easy out.
Then again it will be hilarious to see what happens if the goals are met.

>The funding goal via our Kickstarter campaign will not cover the financial requirements to develop Space Odyssey.
What did they mean by this?

It means they secured outside funding and are using the Kickstarter to drum up hype and sell preorders for beta access.

It's dead, Jim.

>Make a "scientifically accurate" space game
>We actually don't know shit about space to begin with

This is going to be a space walking simulator with memes, isn't it?

>>380988958
It's going to be like the already free and released Space Engine but worse and with normie jokes and half-finished image stills for a story where some female astronaut saves the universe

He didn't want to do this but his daughter encouraged him.
