Kickstarter has its place, but don't expect projects to be on-time. I have a Kickstarter going with a reputable company:delay after delay. Products were supposed to ship last summer, and now they're talking this spring.
I kickstarted the Battletech game in 2015. It was due to launch in 2016. Finally came out in "early 2017" - finally came out in spring 2018. Worth the 13-15 month delay I guess.
