I can't help but feel they're going to trip over their own feet sooner or later with these increasingly daft Kickstarters, but they haven't failed one yet. (Although TBH I still think the finish of Dr Who was a bit dodgy.)
And now with this one they're lumping two things in together, which is a new physics engine, better graphics on consoles, better lighting on mobile etc - i.e. Improvements to the game engine which should IMO just be part of what they're doing anyway, which they're combining with an AC/DC Kickstarter.
So what happens if the KS fails, do they not do all the engine enhancements, or stop working on them, or not release them, or something?
It's not like there's anything about the AC/DC pinball which requires a better engine than the one they have already, and the new engine would be equally valuable for any release.
I won't be supporting this one but I hope it succeeds as anything that's good for digital pinball preservation is worthwhile. I've bought all the table seasons up to now at full price, and supported three (IIRC) of their Kickstarters, but I'll sit this KS out. I'll definitely buy the next season as well, as it's a great game overall - but I have no real interest in an AC/DC pinball, and there are so many amazing Williams/Bally tables that haven't been done, that wouldn't have any crazy licensing requirements about them.
