Most kickstarters are someone's small art project or something, though. The only ones "we" really care about are the big ones like Pebble. (I've also funded small art projects of my friends, but I wouldn't expect the greater community to really care about them.)

The thing is, for games at least, "overfunded" is probably closer to "the right funding." It's a balancing act - you often can't really-really ask for the amount you actually need, because fewer people will put money in, but if you aren't overfunded you end up in a situation where you may not actually be able to make it at all.

The whole thing ends up predicated on being the Big Popular Kickstarter that goes over budget and it really sucks. I think that maybe having two numbers on a Kickstarter page would be a good idea: "Minimum Funding LEvel" and "Optimal Funding Level", or something.
