Steve Jackson Games‘ Ogre Designer’s Edition far exceeded expectations in their Kickstarter drive. SJG raised $923,680 USD, which is a far cry from their initial estimate of $20,000. The project was funded at 4618% of its scoped cost, and was back by 5512 individuals (including UtM at $150).
Ogre Designer’s Edition is the 8th most funded project on Kickstarter and the highest ranking analog game project to date. Kudos to Steve Jackson, his tireless crew, and all the backers for making this such an unprecedented success.
So begins the long wait until November. Fortunately I have other anticipated products and personal projects to keep me busy in the meantime.
