GamaSutra - By now, we're all familiar with the Kickstarter style of crowdfunding, in which people donate money to their favorite projects, and if a financial goal is met, funding is approved and project development goes forward.
Depending on how much you donate, you may receive a T-shirt, the game whose development you put money towards, or even a credit in the final product. It's a nice gesture for your donation.
From GameWatcher: "There is something very satisfying about building trains, railways and creating an infrastructure that flows smoothly. Train simulation games tend to be plenty of fun but sometimes as a player, you just want to sit back and build without having to worry about the financial side of the simulation, having the freedom to just build can make a game a fun relaxing experience."
Developer Urban have released a free DLC pack for their locomotive railroad baron simulator Train Fever.
