Very worrying considering if you have 20 staff earning $500 a week - $520,000 per year or $1,300,000 over 2.5 years... and that is just for 20 staff to work on it, considering Kickstarter Site takes a 5% cut I believe from the end amount and 5% goes to the people envolved in collecting the money... Talking about a large chunk gone out of that money already, and that is not even considering renting an office or electricity/PCs to work on the game lol.

Will definately need an injection of Money from someone down the line as it draws closer to time to buy some disks to ship this on.

Is that the standard wage for the staff in Japan or the US?

Not sure tbh, I was just going off my wage as IT support would be in that region. if you think a game will need far more than 20 staff tho you're talking about 2/3x that amount, could just soak up all the money in staff wages alone.
