I think if they added PayPal and a donation system to their site after Kickstarter ends, we could reach that end goal.
I've been thinking a lot about reoccurring donation with Shenmue 3. A lesser known crowdfunding site is Patreon, where people can support a person/project with a reoccurring monthly donation instead of a big bang one time fee.
Lets take me for example, i pledged $300 right now (which is madness given my life circumstance).
If this game is gonna take a minimum 2 years to come out, i would happily put up $40 a month which would end up at $960. I hope they understand there's much more money to be made from the passionate fans beyond this kickstarter if they're creative about it.
