Why should we back?
Intro
Welcome to KickstartNew! I’m Jason, and today we’re delving into an exciting Kickstarter project that’s capturing the attention of both space simulation enthusiasts and brick-building aficionados: the StarCitizen Brick Toy/Model. This initiative aims to bring the intricate spacecraft from the popular game Star Citizen into tangible, brick-built models for fans to enjoy offline. In this blog post, we’ll explore the reasons to consider backing this project, potential drawbacks, the reliability of the creators, and conclude with our overall assessment.
Why should I back this project?
-
Authentic Representation: The project seeks to create highly detailed, brick-built models of Star Citizen ships, allowing fans to bring their favorite spacecraft from the digital realm into the physical world.
-
Community Engagement: The project’s creator, Yi Liu, has been actively engaging with the community, sharing updates and gathering feedback to refine the designs.
-
Collector’s Appeal: For collectors and enthusiasts, these models offer a unique addition to their memorabilia, blending the worlds of gaming and brick-building.
What are the potential drawbacks you should consider when you back it?
-
Licensing Concerns: It’s unclear whether the project has obtained official licensing from Cloud Imperium Games, the developers of Star Citizen. Backing unlicensed products can lead to potential legal issues and affect the project’s fulfillment.
-
Quality Assurance: As with any custom brick model, the quality of the bricks and the precision of the design are crucial. Without reviews or testimonials from previous projects, it’s challenging to assess the final product’s quality.
-
Delivery Timelines: Crowdfunding projects often face delays. Potential backers should be prepared for possible extensions beyond the estimated delivery dates.
The reliability of the project
-
Creator’s Background: Information about Yi Liu’s previous projects or experience in designing brick models is limited. This lack of a track record can make it difficult to gauge the project’s reliability.
-
Funding Progress: The project has garnered significant attention, with trending data indicating substantial backing.
This momentum can be a positive indicator of community interest and support.
-
Community Feedback: Engagement on platforms like Facebook shows active discussions and interest, but also highlights concerns about licensing and quality.
