I think that Kickstarter attitudes are changing, and I think that this Kickstarter has a lot to do with that.

When Super Dungeon Legends was up on Kickstarter, it looked like a Zero risk project. It is a KS for an established brand and company that had delivered two Kickstarters previously (one was a few months late, the other was pretty much on time).

Both of those Kickstarters had backers praising them for their communication throughout the process on both of those Kickstarters. Going into Super Dungeon Legends, there was no reason to see it as a risky project. At the time, I would have used it as a shining example of a low risk project (along with something by Reaper or CMON).

Previously, the only undeliverable Kickstarters that I had seen were either from companies that had a reputation for unscrupulous behavior (like with Palladium) and smaller companies that didn’t know what they were doing. We were starting to think that the warning signs were there, for anyone who looked for them.

Right now, I feel like I’m seeing a few people warning backers against any and all Kickstarters. I’ve seen backers saying that CMON is risky and that Awakened Realms won’t deliver. Before, it seemed like I only ran into that sort of thing with at least some legit red flags (like Archon’s projects).
