Found this kickstsrter a few days ago and backed it. A couple of days later and I'm still the only backer. Sad, because the game sounds awesome, like an updated and steroid infused SimEarth! I decided to take it on my self to try and promote it a little. Everyone should take a look!

Kyle, if you want to be successful on Kickstarter, you have to deliver. The project has nothing. Literally nothing to show so far. Why would anyone invest in a game with no video, images or models? It basically is a wall of text which means the developer is still at the planning stage. They effectively ask for money but have nothing to show in return. The project will fail, 100%.

It's a nice idea, but that's all it is. There's no reason to buy into something without any substance, by someone so unproven.

Yeah, they're asking for a bit too much with not enough already on the table to show for it. Also, the developer's "qualifications" consist of him having ideas and having the ability to code. At least whomp something up in Java or something first as a proof of concept. Look at how Notch started from such a basic beginning that evolved into Minecraft.
