Is there a way to preorder in order to get into the private beta as well? I wasn't with the Kickstarter crowd. If plugins are as powerful as you say they are, I'm very interested.
Yeah, I found myself visiting the Kickstarter page today hoping there was some way I could fund the project months after it completed. Needless to say I couldn't. Seems like it would be a useful feature for projects like this - I doubt they couldn't find a use for more money.
The Double Fine Adventure guys are doing that, for an example of how it could work. They call the second round supporters 'slacker backers' [0].
