Don't forget KS fees need removing- Ys net are getting approx. 90%, so around $5.7m.

Of that approx. $4.43m is actually going on development with the remaining going on reward fulfillment. (Not sure which pot the in game content reward comes under though).

Hmm, I came up with even less/more $4,116,641.75 (65%) or $4,559,972.4 (72%). 65% or 72% from the total amount, I suggest:

$6,333,295 * 0.65 = $4,116,641.75

$6,333,295 * 0.72 = $4,559,972.4

Anyway, your "$4.43M" fits in the range, but just wanted to point out that it could get worse (less KS money available for funding).

I worked on the split being-

KS fees being 10%
Reward fulfillment 20%
Game Dev 70%

No point going much more into the actual figures than that as it's not known even by Ys Net yet hence the upper and lower %'s (it's not 65 or 72% btw it's between 65 - 72%).

So possibly only around $4 million for development costs? Thank God for that upcoming Paypal option!

It was so exciting watching the KS page that last day. It was going up so fast! Thanks everyone for your donations. We did it!

Can't also forget that I'm sure there were at least a few donors who chose lower rewards only, or no reward at all. I read one or two of those posts at 500k.
