We're extremely fortunate to have met our funding goals in such a short amount of time, and for that, we'd like from the very core of our hearts thank you for your faith and patronage. It is tradition for Kickstarters who are on track to make more than their intended funding goal to add stretch goals so as to add features or content to the final product, however please understand this: When we started Project Wingman two years ago we set out with a vision of exactly what we strived to do and how best to do it. No amount of money would change that vision, and, as we proceed further into the Kickstarter campaign, we hope you will understand that money will not make this game the best it can be: hard work, your feedback, and faith will.
After a 12 hour meeting the day following our Kickstarter's launch and funding completion, we have decided for the best to not pursue Stretch Goals as is industry standard for projects like this. Let us explain: So we've said the vision for this game has been largely set coming into this crowdfunding, and our intent with crowdfunding was to allow this project to be funded with the promise of that vision. In traditional or larger Kickstarter efforts you would see content added as bonuses and goals in line with Stretch Goal progression, a game unto itself, however we see it differently. These goals would be additional promises to keep. With that in mind we're reminded of the promise we have to you, the backer, that takes precedent above all: The completion of Project Wingman. More promises would indefinitely expand the scope of the game and the complexity of the technical debt already accrued, leading to us being unable to achieve our chief endeavor as best we can, only to disappoint you no matter how many Stretch Goals we would achieve.
