As far as I can see the original intent was to back artists and musicians - not necessarily to produce a product, but to create something.

I am a first time backer for Planetary annihilation - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-anni...

Decision process for me was.

- Very cool - loved Total Annihilation.

- 900K is not much of a budget for a game with this scope - it may be a stretch for the team to deliver this. - Team has experience with RTS.

- The pay off in terms of what I get is great.

- There have been no ground breaking RTS for the last 10 years.

Ultimately what got me over the line was the reputation of the company and the team.

I am fully aware that there may be nothing to show for it... I am sponsoring an opportunity for something great to be produced. Something not that far from music or art in my opinion.
