Subject: [Kickstarter] Townbuilder - 3D Printable Building Software
A free demo of the Beta is available now - and is a lot of fun to play with.
And, because I can't think of how to port over a proper image of the Kickstarter page...
It reminds me a whole lot of the creation kit for the Elder Scrolls games - building elements that can be put together to create an entire building.
This is the excuse my wife and I have been waiting for before getting a 3D printer.

I wouldn't mind backing it either but I'm totally lost as to what's what (and I'm still irritated I didn't just pledge when it started and I had the chance for the super early bird).
What level gets me the steampunk stuff? That's what I'm most interested in.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
Definately one of the most confusing kickstarters ever. I have backed a lot of 3D printing stuff but with this I have no idea where it is going. Seems like you buy into a tier and then gotta still pay for some or all files later?

I think the journey man level is the sweet spot that gets you the stretch goal models, but I have no real idea.
I think the Master level pledge is if you really want to go nuts in the builder.

1) Stone 2) Fachwerk 3) Shingled Roofs
Premium (Journeyman and above)

I totally had the chance at the super early bird pledge too.
