Actually at the rate its going, and it isn't slowing down that much, it can easily reach upwards of $100,000.

Without a doubt. At the current rate Zag (design director) said it could reach 300% according to the current graph of 11% per day. Now thats just what a graph says but with an actual video being realeased these numbers could shoot up. If the game got actual coverage form gaming magazines, tweets about it, it would shoot up again. So far it's only word of mouth and a small handful of low key interviews.
For all you negative nelly's out there, they are planning to realease a gameplay/walkthrough video this week. Also please note you can cancel you plege at any time up to the end of April, just for your peace of mind.
Just a quick update. They are planning to realease some footage of the game, a short tour and something to do with the building gen.
Also in the last 12 hours another $6,000. They are now at 50% in just 4.5 days. With 26 days left it's looking very good as pessimistic as I was. Word of mouth pays of it seems :)
It sounds awesome, and if they can incorporate co-op that would be sweet.

Well there is multiplayer so thats pretty much co-op. Isn't it?
Seems like there's a kickstarter for everything all of a sudden.
Game sounds pretty neat though.

This game has been in development for 6+ months and they will still continue even if funding fails, this will just allow them to pay staff allowing them to work full time and making progress on things such as coding 8x faster. So they aren't relying on Kickstarter but it would be a great help
So far $15,000 has been raised in 3 days. (25%) [QUOTE="skrat_01"]I like their vision and intention, but it honestly seems a bit naive in terms of scope; there have been quite a few of Zombie games and mods that started with the premise of being 'open and real', take Dead Island and the massive changes it underwent (originally it was extremely similar to this) and generally thanks to the actual confines of games they never turn out that way; there's always a layer of abstraction, even down to ArmA mods. Sixty grand from what they're showing seems like a bit much to ask, but regardless this is a game I'd love to see actually built and playable. This will be open and real that I'm sure of. I don't much of the history of Dead Island before release but whether it was their own decision to change paths or the publishers their game appealed to the mass market. Thankfully Sandswept don't have the weight of publishers on top of them and $60,00 for a 15 strong team seems modest for 6 months. Anyways I did not come here looking for money just to raise awareness of what I think will be a great game.
