Hi Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm a big fan and have a couple questions for your AMA.
1) Kickstarter is generally for small start-ups. Why do you feel GPG, a 15 year old company of 40 people, needs help from kickstarter? Wouldn't a bank loan or investors be a better choice?
2) With the current game market already flooded with action/RPGs (Diablo, Torchlight, Path of Exile) what sets yours apart? Will you be able to compete with triple A titles?
3) The textures, color scheme, and cartoony feel of Wildman is much like the Torchlight franchise. What can you tell critics about the differences in the art styles between the two games?
4) I own every game in the GPG catalog. My main complaint is they are left unsupported. Many of the games have not been updated in years despite having major bugs and gameplay issues. After launch, will you support Wildman with regular patches and balances for 5+ years or will you move to the next game and ignore Wildman?
5) Your kickstarter amount is 1.1 million dollars. What will this money be used for? Will it be for paying back bills and prior engagements or will 100% of this money be used for Wildman? Could you give a more detailed itemized list of exactly how the money will be used?
