Just wanted to post this on here for you guys to check out. I'm a big Shantae fan (Maybe you can tell from my recent trailer) and really hope that this meets it's (rather large) goal. There are some nice rewards for backers, too so check it out!
I must agree, I don't feel like they need the money, and they already have quite a bit of the game done by the looks of things. I feel like Kickstarter has just turned into a way to generate more money and publicity - I wish I had taken my project there!
... But I'm a sucker for WayForward games, so I had to back them.
