@colin what is the reason that this feature is being kept behind the curtains as a secret? seams backwards to me to keep secrets from your customers, i've seen (and backed) other high profile kickstarter developers that went off and developed some of their stuff in secret, and their eventual reveal has often been picked apart, with the community lamenting the lack of involvement, and having been denied their right to offer feedback when it could have been useful, I worry that your setting yourselves up for exactly this same situation.
Maybe there is a really good reason for keeping it hidden from view, but I can't think of one.

It's more of a surprise than a secret. |

Holy hell... He almost sounds just like Molyneux.... Jack... if you're reading this... please... for the love of everything that is holy in game development... don't cross the line into Peter's overhyping/over promising shenanigans.. please... Thanks I am reading. Thanks for your advice! Of course we will strive to make something great, and a line I've been throwing around is that we will not say anything we cannot show. If I get passionate when talking about what we're making then I want to make sure I can back it up. So far the handful of people I've shown our early prototypes to has been very positive. As I will be designing to my own vision this time around I hope it is something that will surprise you  |

I believe I speak for the majority of people here when I say there his a high degree of curiosity (pun intended) in your next effort. It's a soon to be hit called Molyboppin', a beat'em up where you punch and kick through visionaries and their detractors to create something within the realm of realism that still does enough different to be appealing without being a letdown. There's a secret boss at the end that represents the duality of impractical idealism and cynical realism that are simultaneously defeating themselves as much as you're defeating them, leading to a truly unique end game experience. The hardest part of creating the game is ensuring that these come across more metaphorically than literally, but rest assured, Jack and Pavle have it in the bag. |

Ok, not like i hoped it will be ... but a big surprise. So you (ok ... with Peter) surprised me once already. Maybe you can do it a second time in the other direction. We'll see. I wish you the best. |
