Check out the kickstarter for FTL. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/64409699/ftl-faster-tha...

The FTL kickstarter started off demonstrating how excited they were to build the game followed almost directly with information and footage of the core mechanics. The game looked fun before even getting past the first minute of the video.

On the other hand, the presentation of your kickstarter just didn't do much for me. I got through to about 3 minutes in the video before deciding stop watching.

The main problem for me was that nothing in the presentation me made me want to love either the game or the people behind it.

You call the game an action RPG... but the footage shown during the first 3 minutes that I watched involved mostly walking around and opening a chest. I'd have much preferred to have seen some whitty dialog with an NPC or some of the core game mechanics. This would have helped immensely as nothing that I saw looked "action" or "rpg".
