I occasionally listen to the "Hypnospace is cool" song on loop.
Less than 10 days to go. 906 backers have currently pledged $19,871 (70.97% of the $28,000 goal).
About campaign performance:Here are updated graphs:
http://i.imgur.com/W3wOMCu.pngSeptember 24th saw a burst in backer activity.
The $12 tier has doing well since the $10 early-bird tier filled up. Unallocated funds remain about the same. There isn't really anything I see that needs fixing, so I don't have much to talk about for the graphs. The $20 tier for the soundtrack is doing well.
$8,129 to go until 100% funded. At an average of $22 per backer it would take 370 additional backers to reach it. That is very doable.
Kicktraq shows a trend to $29,284 (104%), while BackerTracker shows $32,522 (116.1%).
With the current pace the campaign could potentially be 100% funded by October 1st. If not, it could be funded soon after since the last 48 hours reminder emails are scheduled to go out at 6:00pm PDT on October 2nd. Getting a large amount of press could get the project 100% funded sooner.
It looks like reaching stretch goals will depend upon the last 48 hours.
About within Kickstarter:Hypno Space keeps hovering around 6th to 8th in popularity. It continues to be good by staying in the top 20. There are some strong campaigns around. Over the last few days there has been a wave of generally low-effort projects launching with a few gems.
Voyage of Fortune's Star is from the co-creator of Vampire: The Masquerade. It has been doing well. Blubber Busters is popular, but it has a $340,000 goal to reach. Rad Rogers should reach its goal by the end. Tiny Metal is a game inspired by Advance Wars that has exploded in popularity since some strong Reddit threads. It had a slow start.
Many campaigns that launched in late August are ending now.
Ruin of the Reckless had a good final day.

http://i.imgur.com/NaUw1lt.pngI'm also surprised Vulpine missed its goal by $8,820. It also didn't see much of a final surge.
http://i.imgur.com/jwb4t5R.pngThe campaign for the Astro Boy game Suda 51 was working on was canceled. I hope Japan-based developers don't think Kickstarter won't work for them because lately the projects from Japan have been doing terribly due to poor management.

Iron Tides launches on September 28th.
When a new months starts, Kickstarter sees a wave of new projects launching.
Antraxx is a mecha game scheduled to launch on Kickstarter for October 1st. With Code: Hardcore already attracting many mecha fans to Kickstarter it could become a popular campaign.
Something to note is that October 1st this year is a Saturday and Saturdays are terrible days to launch. Back on August 1st 2015 I remember good quality projects nerfing their launches on that Saturday.
About outside Kickstarter:Shantae: Half-Genie Hero delayed is release by 6 weeks, so it won't be releasing in September.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released a new trailer.
Blizzard is reworking its classic multiplayer matchmaking service.
Let's Play channels keep talking about YouTube's questionable policy decisions.
Mafia III doesn't release until October 7th. The release of Playstation VR happens October 13th. After that the big games in October like Gears of War 4, Battlefield 1 and Civilization VI. There isn't much for AAA releases in Hypnospace Outlaw's way since it ends on October 4th.
