Please do. It's not like it costs you anything. If you don't have enough time, just name the price tag and something can be set up in the internet to gather money for that goal.

Another roguelike has gotten over $4k from it, but as far as I know you are supposed to be tied into actually releasing something from it. If you want to actually *get things done* I strongly suggest giving the 7-day roguelike competition a try one year if you have the time. It really forces you to focus your creativity on a limited and achievable scope, and the deadline is a huge incentive to work hard, work fast and prioritise getting things done over making code pretty. I've made 3 games for such competitions that otherwise I would never have written a single line on. It's great fun, and it produces very real results.

Despite being relatively new, one Roguelike project, Expedition, has already met the funding goal that was set and there is a growing motley assortment of generally gaming related projects springing up. http://www.8bitfunding.com/index.php Perhaps 8-bit funding here might also be one to consider alongside Kickstarter?
