BMX Kickstarter is a go!

They didn't even use a 30 day KS. I think they did a 25/26 day fund or something. It was a little odd.

Ah, no idea how KS works, I just thought projects like these are up for 30 days, guess not haha

Is there really only 30 days for projects? No wonder theres things that looked impossible if thats the case.. thats not much time to get a company off the ground. I would love to see this on console man. Thats too bad.

They still have an update coming soon with a new trailer and some talk of 6 possible brand sponsors.
If the brands are well known enough and put some word out via social sites the donations could rise quickly.
If Kickstarter makes them a Staff Pick it'd be huge as well. So much of it depends solely on how it's presented.

What I want to know is this:
isn't their asking price quite high?
i don't know much about kickstarter, but i'm pretty sure 55,000 pounds / ~85,000 is a lot to get the game off the ground.

It's honestly not a lot of money when it comes to development costs and possible license fees.

I pledged £50. hope this takes off soon.

No. Not at ALL. This is a VERY modest asking price for an indie dev with no prior access to game development sources. I've seen 2D RPG projects ask for half a million.
