I backed at the $30 level. (Due to cut-off dates in my new job, I'm only going to get two weeks wages for five weeks work so I'm going to struggle to afford that, but as the current exchanged rates are EXTREMELY favourable, it only works out at about £18! Let's hope they don't fluctuate too much before the end of the project  ) |

With 119 backers and $4175 accounted for, the average donation stands at $35 p/p. This is completely skewed of course, as one certain individual has backed a thousand dollars, and dozens have back five dollars. But still, an interesting statistic. You've also funded 8.35% of the total in one day of 35. If that continues apace, it would project a total funding of $146,000 by the end of the kickstarter project. The average daily funding needed to reach $50,000 is $1428 per day. Continuing at the pace outlined above based on the initial 24 hours, you would be $2747 above target per day, meaning funding would be achieved in just 12 days - 23 days ahead of target. Again, these numbers are skewed because it's only the first 24 hours... I just thought they were interesting statistics In short - nobody read too much into these. The figures and averages will fluctuate wildly. I just like figuring things out. And yes - I did 'like' my own post. Because I like it |

mataeus - you should check out Kicktraq which does these calculations for you and projects your end point. The first few days are always big, but we'll especially need everyone's help sharing once we get into the middle "slump".

Still, I had five minutes of fun adding it all up I found this embed code after checking out kiktraq (I only saw Kickstarter for the first time with this project, so I had no idea a stats site existed for it). Here goes....  You can click that image to be taken straight there. You're currently number 4 on the Kiktraq Hot List. At the top is a table-top game which has over seven HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars pledged to it. |

mataeus - thank you for posting that! We've had a very exciting two days and we hope we can keep climbing! Staying on the "hot lists" will be a big part of that. To be successful, we will need to reach gamers who haven't ever played ST before! One of the big parts of these algorithms is the social sharing! Even if you aren't backing ST 2, please go to the page and share the page to Facebook and tweet us!

mataeus - everyone supports in their own way! For those who can't back the game, it still goes a long way to help us on social media. I noticed
