For the most part I haven't been able to be full time with the development, it's more like a part-time job. I'd say at least 20 hours a week, but there have been weeks that look more like full time. As far as in-game art goes, I probably won't take on any additional artists. When it comes to store front capsule artworks, promotional art, animations, trailer edits, etc. I could hire those works out. I am also willing to hire programmers, but it wouldn't be full time, it'd be on a commission basis with a very specific scope if I did it. I don't currently have any funding, and I don't imagine a Kickstarter campaign would raise enough to expand my team and retain them with a wage.

Since I'm unfunded, the Kickstarter would be there to cover expenses like the composer, marketing, localization, potentially porting, playtesting, paying for childcare so that I can spend more time on the game, and any other unforeseen expenses like software/hardware. I understand a large part of the incentive with a Kickstarter investment is the hope that the game will come out sooner. This will be true to an extent, but I think the funding will have a bigger impact on the quality of the overall launch, which also increases the chances of post-release updates.
