Seems I've lost my crowd-funding virginity...

The kickstarter for this awesomeness has blown past the first two stretch goals (ocean planets and naval units & gas giants and orbital units) so they've created new ones: http://youtu.be/5caRZBS9QsM

$1,500,000 - Lava and Metal Planets

We’re excited to introduce two new types of planets- lava and metal. Lava is extremely volatile but provides vast amounts of energy and raw materials. Geothermal plants and liquid metal processing mines provide the next level of resource extraction technology. Build in strategic locations to take advantage of the natural defense provided by rivers of flowing lava.

That’s no moon. It’s a space station! Metal planets are wandering relics of wars long past, giant artificial battle stations that can be recycled or reactivated to bring a new level of destruction. Harness the lost knowledge and brute power of the ancients by repairing their installations. Then take over the control structures and rain destruction on your opponents.

$1,800,000 - Galactic War

The Galactic War is a replayable single and multiplayer metagame. Play locally by yourself or co-op with your friends against our world class Skirmish AI’s. Or play on the live multiplayer servers and try to conquer the galaxy!

Features include:
Procedurally generated galaxy map, play a different galaxy every time!
Single player and co-op for local play
Online multiplayer mega-battles. Join a faction and plunder the universe!
Clan wars servers for fighting the galactic war between clans
Dynamic story system that logs your fight and generates exciting counter attacks and special missions that up the challenge level

Still six days to get in on the initial funding drive.

Welp, something came along so awesome that I gave money to it before it was even made. At least I waited for MWO to be in beta. And I'm doing my damnedest not to buy into the PS2 beta. But this looks like a degree of awesome that hasn't been seen in a very long time.

64 hours to go and it looks like the campaign may in fact exceed the 1.8m mark, which means... Galactic War.  :twisted:

The campaign has ended and Planetary Annihilation met every stretch goal offered, which will add a full orchestral score to the final game and production of a documentary chronicling the entire development process.  44,161 Kickstarter pledges brought in $2,228,344 of the 900k the devs needed, so chances are good we're going to see this thing come to life in a grand way.  Very excited!

So, I was reminded in another threat about Planetary Annihilation.

The guys at Planetary Annihilation are doing well enough that they partnered with Planetary Resources on their kickstarter and are providing those who contributed $99 or more a copy of Planetary Annihilation.
