    Nearly $600k to produce one episode is steep but it looks like they're assembling top-notch industry folks and studios to make this. Given how incredible Sword of the Stranger is I expect nothing less than the best goddamn action you can pack into 24 minutes. This can happen and I want it to happen.

    They just hit the 580k they wanted for the project. It shot up pretty fast over the last few hours!

    Yea I was in on this day 1 when it was posted here. Was very worried it wasn't gonna make it (considering it wasn't even at the half way point a week ago) but it has skyrocketed in the past few days. Did Hideo Kojima's blessing boost it? maybe. Did getting a front page bump by KS as a top 5 film project help? possibly. My big question I have I guess, is where the hell have all these people been?!?! Boy people like to procrastinate and take their sweet time do they.

    I literally did not know anything about this until the reddit ama last night when it hit my version of the front page. When I pledged last night it didn't seem like it was going to make it, but I woke up this morning and checked in and it was at like 620k. They probably would've made a lot more if they did a small bit of advertising. I love the feel of the teaser, can't wait for the actual release.

    Needs to get to 1.16 mill for the prequel ep to get funded, seems like a stretch but honestly a week ago I thought this was completely dead, that home stretch PR did an amazing job. ( Kojima, reddit ).

    This came out last month for those of you who backed it. I found the first episode to be pretty good. I kinda wish they would continue it but apparently the kickerstarter plus a year of fund raising through paypal wasn't enough to cover the production of the episode we got. Sad, but maybe Netflix will pick it up in the future or something.
