The source is I...Given their strategic position, they'd be fools not to release an editor for the fan base.
Mark my words, they will do this.

Except that you''re not really a source - just a hopeful fan.
$17500 to go...

You are incorrect..."hope" has nothing to do with it...
this will occur.
...and although I am a fan, I am also a source of industry insight...;)

I wouldn't say it's an inevitability. Releasing a working editor to the public requires a lot of forethought, and development time, the latter of which costs a ton of money. I'm sure it's something that OtherSide would love to do, but their priority is, first and foremost, making a good game, and getting it into our hands. Everything else is a secondary concern.
Now if they make a lot of money through post-Kickstarter donations, we might see one shortly after release. Or if they make beaucoup bucks on the game itself, we might see one a little farther down the road. But unless they hit that million plus mark in the next 7 odd days, there's absolutely no guarantee for it.

Just upgraded my pledge to the Digital Protagonist tier. I wouldn't be surprised if this new tier attracts a lot of others who like me who have long since abandoned boxed versions of games.
From their Kickstarter site:
Quote:
For those of you who have expressed a desire to back Underworld Ascendant, but are not seeking physical goods, we have a special announcement. Today we are opening up the DIGITAL PROTAGONIST pledge tier, a digital only backer level for $125.
The DIGITAL PROTAGONIST tier will give the backer all digital rewards included in all tiers up to the AVATAR level. This means, backers at the DIGITAL PROTAGONIST level will receive all digital items (music, map, strategy guide, just to name a few) found in all tiers up to AVATAR, as well as all the Kickstarter Exclusive digital items in those same tiers. This includes the AMETHYST ANKH AMULET from the LEGENDARY HERO tier and the COPPER-TRIMMED AVATAR ROBE from the AVATAR tier. The new Lyrical Lute we introduced yesterday will also be included!

I'm going for the highest tier that doesn't include cheater DLC. So the lowest one, then.

Usage of the items are purely optional as far as I can tell. To be honest, I'm not all that interested in most of the stuff that they are offering. It's more a case of me wanting to contribute as much as I want to spend for my favourite game without having to waste $15 on postage for a package that I have no interest in.

FWIW, they've really emphasised in the Kickstarter comments that <em>none</em> of the special items for backers are remotely powerful. They're intended to be fun additions for backers, but more or less functionally equivalent to items that everyone will have access to. They've said that the differences are primarily aesthetic. It's been made pretty clear that they're not "cheater DLC" in any way.
(Of course if you really felt the urge, you could increase the amount you were pledging while still remaining with the $25 rewards :)

Hooray, with only $3k to go UW3 will finally be a reality now. Beyond the base level of funding, I wonder how far they will reach with their stretch targets. My prediction based on the current run rate alone is that they will be struggling to get to second base, let alone any of the higher tiers unfortunately.
In my opinion they could do with a reordering of some of the goals. For example, I'd much rather see them move the novel and companion options further up the list and move enhanced sounds and the editor to the second tier.
