a few backers down, 300 dollars in the pot. 88618 dollars left of the kickstarter to go.

Nice move by Chris Roberts there. Helped things along a little. Also seems to be getting a little more YT interest.
Hopefully we’ll have ourselves a celebration, in a couple of weeks. 
Need 600 for clouds!

~$1000 in the last hour? 87,589 to go!
Edit: also 3800 backers exactly!

If the kickstarter doesn’t reach that goal I hope they still get enough funding afterwards (since they will continue with pledges) to reach the improved atmospheric effect tier a least.

I think there will be clouds on atmospheric planets anyway, just less complicated.
I-Novae has always marked the planetary engine as what sets it apart from other games/companies.
If they wouldn’t include ANY clouds, that would make it a lot less realistic.

Mmm yes I would imagine atmospheric effects are important for the devs (having seen the processes they’ve gone through over the years). I would love to see some lovely clouds and weather. I’m sure they’ll appear in some form… at some point.

KS campaigns should go for longer. We keep getting new sources of promotion, but I have a feeling that a lot of the bigger ones will come after the deadline has passed.

It’s not so bad, especially considering funding will continue post-kickstarter through the battlescape website.

Spike from CR has ended. Provided around $20k.
Daily requirement is at $5,721 which is still more than the average for the whole project ($5,576) excluding the first two days and the Reddit day, so CR’s post definitely hasn’t ensured I:B gets funded. - It’s still going to be close and we’ll need a final spike.
Daily update will come after 12 UTC.
At the current average pledge of $56, we’d need a total of 5,357 backers.
We need to either reach out to a lot more people or figure out ways to encourage higher pledge tiers.
Spike has slowed but as far as I can tell it hasn’t ended. If it stays flat till the end of the day then I would agree with you but you can expect things to quieten down overnight.
We have 2 weeks to get 80k. That’s very doable.
