My advice would be to plan how you'll deliver the game anyway after not getting funded. Certainly it would be nice to have £8,000 in preorders, but it looks like you'll need to continue working on it in your own time until you finish. Many games are completed this way, and you can do it too.

Have any of you developed games in the past? If not, finishing this game on your own and releasing it will be a great learning experience for all you. Your game, to be blunt, looks like a student project (and it seems that two of you are in fact students.) I don't usually fund games on Kickstarter unless they're made by teams with clear track records or are very highly polished, and there's nothing that jumps out at me from the Kickstarter page as really differentiating your game from many others.
