Apparently, some Board of Education gave the developers $900,000 to make this game happen…

edit: im guessing you found that out from this comment on the kickstarter,
if not, then please do share where you got the info from.

Mmmm… Was kinda hoping this wouldn’t happen so early, Glad they got the money and all, But yeah… Influence has just tipped too much. A 900k infusion will buy A lot of it… Soo sad 
I hope they allow us to keep older copies of the game, because I have a feeling as time goes on the newer revisions will change it and not in a good way.
Amusing that the amount they were awarded from IES was $899,871 (over two years) and not an even $900k 
Hard to tell what it will mean for the project. But at the same time, the award period started already in May (That’s what 5/7/2015 means, right? Stupid date system, stick with ISO 8601 ;)). So this was awarded long before the Kickstarter campaign? Oh well, funding is of course good, hopefully it won’t change their vision with the (educational) game.
