Surprisingly they are doing better than Boll's Postal 2, but I'd guess Ayn Rand has more fans and glout than Boll does.

i saw the video (pre-alpha gameplay) and it was like metroid starring Aeon Flux + B Orchid from Killer Instinct doing those cartwheel combos like crazy.
loved the high speed pace it was going with.
since ive already played Hotline Miami (and eagerly awaiting HM2) i may have to seek out this 'Vanquish' they mention ^_^.

Haven't seen the previous films and don't consider myself a defender or proponent of Rand (at present I've read only a limited selection of her work), but: and: (both quotes from the Kickstarter FAQ)

Here is how I see it:

That all actually goes down to the old discussion whether payments towards a kickstarter project are "donations" of some kind.
As the existence of donations might carry some moral obligation to donate or evoke some kind of pressure from society to give some (not all!) of Rand's followers say that donations shouldn't exist at all because this feeling of obligation or pressure is self-destructive for society.

Here the creators of the kickstarter argue that they are not asking for donations but are offering a voluntary value-for-value exchange. (The proof of that being that people accept this exchange and as a rational person of Rand's image would only accept a "good" trade, it is obviously a voluntary value-for-value exchange.)
I'm not so sure about that. I'm not so sure that the "rewards" are worth it (but they have to be because people "buy" them!) but I do believe that some people "donate" their money without expecting to get anything of same value out of it. And that would be wrong from Rand's point of view. It would be degrading and self-destructive because it is sacrificial.
But can the kickstarter creators be blamed for that? From Rand's kind of view people should just stop acting so stupid.

Anyway, here some examples of the offered "value-for-value exchanges":
$1: Project Updates
$ 10: Have your name appear on the webpage for life ("Names may be removed at any time.")
$ 5.000: Be an extra in the movie ("we cannot guarantee your image will be in the final cut of the movie")

I am so very sad that they're asking $80 to personalize the whole set.

hmmm a campaign organized via the humble shop, have not seen this construct before.
Seems to be also time unlimited. And also no remarks about a non-steam release...seems I must nag them about it... ;P

While the development team of two people is sparse, they seem to have a background in the demoscene... which is a big plus (in my book) pouet news

NOWHERE , still in early alpha stage, aims to be a holistic first person experience set within a mystic cosmos, focusing on emergent player-driven storytelling, strong social AI and high replayability through the use of procedural content, combining gameplay elements of exploration, survival, strategy, communication and adventure. Our story arc aims to explore human topics such as family, science, religion, politics, culture and history as well as shed light on existential themes such as fate, choice and free will, seen through the unfamiliar lens of individuals in a post humanist, post singularian alien society
