As someone who 'enjoyed' the 1.5 month Through the Breach campaign, I reaaaally hope this one is only a month or so. I've participated in 80 at this point, and that one was among the longest, and through the magic of days with little/no/negative movement, one of the most excruciating.
I also hope this one's timeline is worked out with a lot of contingency time built in. While not a 1:1 direct comparison, and it does seem like a lot of advance work is done here, the massive delays for the previous campaign shouldn't be entirely glossed over either. Nobody can predict the future, granted. But taking over 2 years when it was supposed to be less than 1 also dragged out a lot of negative sentiments.
Been a long time since I posted around here, and while I recognize these are not the same projects, I feel there's something to be said for recognizing where there were snags or stumbling points previously, and hope Wyrd can get ahead of that.
If nothing else, I suspect there may be a few $1 backers looking to point out the failings of the previous crowdfunding effort with considerably less tact than I'm trying to apply here.
Best of luck, to Wyrd and their backers both. I suppose with less than 5 hours from launching it may be too late to change anything even if they wanted to, but I just found out recently that this was even in the works, let alone going back to Kickstarter.
