#2I'm surprised how good this looks. Cyan hasn't really been able to produce anything of high quality or good taste for the past 10 years (and I say this as a huge fan of some of their earlier games). What little they show here though looks both tasteful and intriguing.
I hope this will be a turning point for this struggling company.

#3Wadsworth constant in full effect. It takes a full two minutes to get to any kind of point.

#4This looks amazing - I'd love to back it. Too bad it's not available on Linux. Oh well.

#5I'm excited that this is happening, but I do wish they would have shown more than just concept art and the vague intro to the video. I can't tell from the Kickstarter page whether they've put significant effort into this yet or not (I hope that they have).

I think their philosophy has always been to show as little as possible for as long as possible, to avoid spoiling things... I get the impression that they have a story and a concept but no actual gameplay or content.

#7I'd love to see an indie studio like this providing something more than pre-orders and deluxe editions to backers. If we're not getting any equity for the money, at least the product should be freely released upon completion.

"Additional platforms" is listed as a stretch goal. Linux might be a big bet in a year or two with SteamOS, but right now, wrangling Unreal 4's third-tier PC OS support is probably not the best time investment for a small studio considering that Linux only has 0.93% in the August Steam hardware survey.
Regardless, we can hope!

I was wondering the same thing. 10 k allows to be credited as supporting producer (together with a dinner) but producers get an interest over sales.

There's a bit of a selection bias using the steam hardware survey - I'd bet that a greater proportion of windows gamers than linux gamers are using steam.
