Maybe in light of how much money can be expected (if you still expect to hit that level), physical copy could come with a $25 donation?

I see this passing 80k easily, especially if given the full 30 days

I am so excited that this has finally been sorted out. I've been waiting to be able to throw down the cash for this! Thanks for all the hard work and for keeping us posted. No matter what I'm looking forward to seeing the fundraiser kicked back into high gear again!

The easiest and best way to do this would be to start a new Kickstarter drive, giving everyone an opportunity to "opt-in" again using the normal mechanism.
This is pretty much why I don't really see the point in vilifying Kickstarter over this.

You're assuming that we contacted them after the deadline had passed.

How much money was raised before it went down? Was it close to 100k?
If so, let's break the barrier

I'm not vilifying Kickstarter, I just don't understand how they don't have enough control over their own system to not be able to reinstate cancelled projects with a new deadline. Especially if said project has been service-ticketed within the lifetime of the original deadline.

They take a pretty percentage for not doing a lot as it stands.

Exactly. It shouldn't be difficult to change "status=" from "inactive" to "active," and "deadline=" to whatever the new deadline will be. But apparently their code is a pile of spaghetti. Oh well, onward and upward.

Maybe they up and deleted the old one? I dunno.

Welp. I had posted a $50 donation for this project and plan to do so again (and possibly more!) whenever the issue gets resolved and a working solution is found somewhere else. Props to EVERYONE, from djp to zircon to Square-Enix for working so hard to come to a solution.

Whatever the case, I look forward to donating again and HOPEFULLY getting a physical copy of what I'm positive will be a stunning product.

Eh I knew it was dead waaay back when I contacted their support and they told me my pledge was cancelled and that "we don't comment on cancelled projects". As soon as the new one pops up I'm looking forward to pledging again. Git-r-done!
