I do not know what you mean by Kickstarter.

No motorcycle units are in the game.

You should take a look at it.

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		I think that Steve once indicated that his primary purpose in completing the not-so-pleasant hard grunt work of producing the MWiF exoskeleton was so that he could reap the pleasurable reward of programming the MWiF AI. Now that the body under the sheet is starting to twitch I seriously doubt he would want to share his lollypop with people who only have money to offer.

(But if you share his vision and have the requisite programming skills I'm sure he'll let you have a lick)

Status: offline 		Surely though, programming the AI for a massive game like WiF is more than a one man job? Kickstarter could potentially raise the funding that would allow him to hire additional programmers (professional programmers) that could then collaborate on the project, thus releasing the greatest computer wargame ever created...blah blah, etc, etc. Seriously though, I think KS would be a great idea for this.
