18 hours and $27k to go. For those who haven't joined in yet, now's the time!

5,615 backers. $384,885 pledged of $400,000 goal. 13 hours to go.

Wow, less than 8k to go now (and the total keeps climbing steadily). Looks like this Kickstarter will hit the goal after all. :-)

Just over 2k to go with 6 hours left :D

I swear the clock stops moving. *staring at the pledge counter* Or maybe I just click F5 often than it's healthy. :)

Congratulations, they made it, I wasn't so sure about this one.

Don't worry about missing 1,5k, they surely have someone to back them in case they need it.

For a time I really thought they weren't going to make it. I think their rhetoric was often rather silly, and I wasn't around for QfG, but I'm glad that this is working out for them.

Well, as I said, Hero-u is such a passion project for some people, that it had very little changes of really failing.

And it's official.

I think the Coles are smiling from ear to ear right about now.

I was actually doubtful that they would reach their goal at first but congratulations to them

now we wait and see.....

Ok, that one is safe, apparently.

Up next: Shadowgate.

Pledging more than I really ought to on this, but, well, it's the Coles... Think I'm calling it quits on Kickstarter though, at least until some of the games I've backed start coming out.

Interestingly thought, Jane Jensen managed to get higher average pledge. Her project got average of 75$/pledger where as Hero-U stands at 68$.

My guess is that it's caused by:
1) Jane Jensen released a game recently (a potential backer has fresh, probably pleasant memories),
2) Her tiers give more stuff,
3) More of in-game materials,
4) It came sooner.

No. 3 and 4 are the strongest reasons, in my opinion.

And yay for reaching goal. Now let's talk about $500k goal and meep-companions :p.
