Hi,
Infinity: Battlescape looks really cool and I also very much appreciate the amount of information found on your Kickstarter site as well as how honest you are there.
Basically the only problem I have is your statement about VR support. By now at least for me VR support is simply basic requirement in a space game. It's somewhat frustrating for me as well, but since I've started using the Rift DK2 in November 2011 I can't even enthusiastically yawn at non-VR space games (including Elite Dangerous on a conventional monitor) ... and I still wanted to play a few games in my favorite genre, which I now apparently cannot ever again do. (And that's something I say even after an entire year and extensive gaming breaks caused by important exams ... so it's no initial hype anymore.)
So looking at your official statement regarding VR support:
"(...)which is why we aren't making any promise at this stage.
As VR enthusiasts ourselves this is definitely something we will try to add on our own, especially if we are able to hit our higher stretch goals."
Well, if I was in a 'very' comfortable situation financially and could just go ahead and bet 20 or 50 US$ on a Kickstarter campaign that potentially (worst case though) could end up as nothing at all even if it financially succeeds and reaches all stretch goals I might even back it, but I'm not. I don't have to worry about my food right now, but ... well ... without at least a VERY clear dedication for VR support I just can't. :/ (And even if it ended up becoming the best space game in every single regard ... it would still be a "nothing" to me without VR support ... that's how essential it has become. :/ )
