Since I love his work, and it sounds like this game could act as almost a proper spiritual Fallout 3 (not to mention a wasteland 2), I donated 100 bucks.

Ah I totally missed that, thanks for the heads-up

Now all people that know about Wasteland and visit sites such as RPG Codex and NMA are donating but these will eventually run out. The rest who doesn't care won't even know about it until they read it on Kotaku/Reddit or some other site and even then they might think that some no-name company that makes only 'sucky' games wants to steal their money by making an archaic game for mere 900 000 $ (that's actual comment from some retard on Polish site, paraphrased). Can we gather 1M $ only from people who played Wasteland and/or who do not like Bethesda games? Because otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult.
The rate at which the amount of money increases has already dropped drastically after reaching 220k $. In comparison in the same amount of time DF managed to get $400k.
However, it's safe to say that, since they're more than 25% there the first day they'll reach their $900k target.
Maybe sarcasm works differently in Poland, but here in the United States, saying that something more than 25% funded in the first day of a more than a month funding process will never reach its goal is very clear sarcasm.

I'm really interested in this, but I'm gonna hold off on dropping money for a bit. Partially because of wanting to spring for the boxed version which would require money I don't have and partially because I'm paranoid it won't hit the mark. Hopefully I'm wrong on the latter because it would take a lot to screw something like this up.

I couldn't resist the $50 pledge. But it does leave me wondering if more will be required for shipping. So I've asked.
I've heard they're into witchcraft.

i'd probably go for the Steam edition as well, if i had to make a choice. unlimited downloads and patching priority. the DRM-free edition will not be available for download forever, and if you loose your backup copy, you're out of luck.
also, thanks to Amazon still not accepting PayPal this is yet another Kickstarter project i can't back. they really should start to consider offering alternative payment methods.
