It definitely leaves a lot to the imagination, but that being said I'm still backing it.

The story is interesting and seems pretty fleshed out, plus I imagine you can't get much further than the previz stage on a project of this scope when funding out-of-pocket.

Only signed up at the $20 level, but may increase for other rewards if they provide more details in the updates.

Goal -- I guess any project can be lofty in its projections, but my understanding is Kickstarter gets directly involved in helping set appropriate targets for projects over a certain size.

Time will tell if that's actually the case. This is the first kickstarter project I'm following closely enough that it feels like watching stocks... wondering how much momentum a project needs in that first day to predict if it will succeed or fail.

Just got back from Quadra Island (British Columbia) after four days of no cell service and patchy wifi at best -- got a significant amount of thinking done... made me realize I really only get 2 to 3 hours of actual work done in the average day due to email, chat, and in-person interruptions... thinking working at the coffee shop next door to the office could result in significantly higher productivity... worth an experimental attempt anyway, right?
