We’ve seen some pretty big Kickstarter projects over the last few months. Millions of dollars have flowed in from all over the world to sponsor RPGs, side-scrollers and RTS’s, and there’s no indication things will slow down any time soon.

Take, for example, Obsidian’s Project Eternity. The game has amassed a record $3.99 million, from an astounding 73,986 donors. This makes Project Eternity the biggest game-related project Kickstarter has ever seen, and should be plenty for the Obsidian team to get their game made and distributed.

One interesting thing about this new record: Project Eternity is a game for a specific niche of gamers. Project Director Josh Sawyer went on the record as believing the new trend in game development will likely be catering to specific gamers, rather than making the most broadly appealing title possible. If the numbers behind his project are any indication, he’s on the right track.

Anyone here donate to the Project Eternity Kickstarter? What are you hoping to see in the game?
