It's made nearly a million in a day with a full month to go. I think it does have a real chance of getting there.

Yeah but didn't DOS2 do the same and it just barely got past it's 2M stretch goal? I'd argue that game even is more fresh in people's minds than mech games which were more popular a decade ago.

Yea, the previous Shadowrun titles were all already pretty big successes, and people love Mechwarrior maybe even more. It translates to a game better, and the only Mechwarrior people have gotten in the last what, decade? Has been that shitpile that is MWO. They're already at a million within a few days opening, so hitting 2.5 seems like a slam dunk.

I will definitely buy a copy when it releases. Not spending money until then, though. Tired of eternal alpha testing and junk like that.

DOS2 made $534k it's first day, end of kickstarter total + PayPal = $2.07mil
Battletech made $709k on it's first day. I could see it making $2.5mil easily.
Hm. Would a 30 year old enjoy them or are they written more for young adult consumption?

I would say they are actually geared towards a more adult crowd. A lot of the nuances and political maneuvering are lost on younger audiences. I haven't read them in a long time, but definitely a great series. Some of the books are so-so, but it comes down to the authors. Coleman and Stackpole are probably the best.
First book series I ever read was Blood of Kerensky trilogy by Stackpole. Loved it.. The collector in me wishes I could get a hold of Hard covers for those three books have stackpole sign them and call it a day!
As of this post they are on their way to 1,300,000..
This will get FULLY funded ( I hope )

That's where I'm at. I went ahead and dived in at 25 dollars when they hit 1 mil, and as long as they hit the 1.85 or a bit above it for some of the sub goals in that section then I'm satisfied.
Same 1.85M was my desire. If they hit that I'll probably throw my kickstarter behind them.

It's too early for Kicktraq to make accurate predictions, but I think they will pull 2 - 2.5mil by the end.

I'd be more enthusiastic for the PVP if it wasn't Solaris 7 and was instead a multiplayer version of the campaign or procedurally generated maps. My first impulse is to think that they are trying to go with the easiest/cheapest solution to a potential PVP stretch goal, but then again I might be completely wrong on that.

OK so, this is going to be Mech Commander v2?
Kind of want? I used to love playing Battletech: Solaris on Gamestorm.
Stalker + one shot overload layout and just play skeet shooter with dumbass lights/mediums that don't realize you can just wait for your jumpjet to apogee and obliterate then.
