I've noticed for instance, the kahlo pub tables/chairs have been recreated by no less than four Age developers that I know of, and the D'ni Hood imagers by three. Some sort of repository might go a long way to speeding Age development.
Sorry to poke my head into the discussion, but it is a thought that has been in the back of my mind for a while...
...If this has already be considered/approved/rejected in other times/places my apologies for the rehashing of already trod ground.

The latest image finally contains something almost worth speculation, as we can actually identify trees! I'm still waiting to know what this project is before I get excited though.
As for the notion of a Cyan Kickstarter, of all the things to be most wary of from the past decade is their difficulty in budgeting and delivering on schedule, and those are also very important to successfully using Kickstarter as a platform (particularly any projects after this one). There will always be those fans who will fund them regardless, but as it stands they have a lot to prove before this can be a viable strategy IMO. I sincerely hope that they don't treat it too eagerly, and instead keep moderate and humble stretch goals with wide budgetary and scheduling margins.

Ainia wrote:Thanks for the clarification! I gather then that you were talking about two separate things since you made a reference to the most recent image posted in the Cyan forum thread I linked earlier. That is, (1) the kickstarter project in the works by edouble and greydragon; and then (2) your concerns about Cyan's ability to manage their own kickstarter campaign successfully.
