It is getting better sounding by the day. If they make it half as good as I'm imagining it to be this may even be up there with Baldur's gate II.
Funding finished last night with a final total of $3.9 million. Looking forward to seeing how good this is on release.
Currently at http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/ but they are thinking about doing a Kickstarter campaign.
The type of game and not being tied to a publishers release date seems to be the reason. Though I don't think it's any stranger than Double Fine.
