What worries me a little about the kickstarters is that few of them actually have something to show for themselves, with The Banner Saga being a good exception.
Nobody knows what Double Fine's adventure game will look like right now and I'm willing to bet that some fans of the classic pixel art games might get disappointed if they use a Psychonauts style art direction and vice versa.
Having a middle-aged white guy with a classic game track record to show off is fine, but show some art, explain the basic game mechanics. Paint a picture for the potential customers.
