You're not charged until it succeeds.

If the Kickstarter gets funded, but doesn't end up delivering on its promises then it's up to the people who got the Kickstater money to give it back. If the company spent all of the money and went bankrupt, you're not getting anything. If it was nothing more than a scam to begin with, you're out of luck. In a few rare cases though companies have refunded Kickstarter backers when they failed to live up to their promises. One notable example was Pebble giving refunds after they were bought out and shut down by FitBit.

Good news! > http://store.steampowered.com/app/618970/Outcast__Second_Contact/ Maybe know our CPUs and GPUs are fast enough to handle the voxel-engine. IIRC I had to play in 480 x 640 back in 1999. But it looked great with the smooth enviroment, as if it was in tesselation all over the screen. -- Ciao, Ned.
