BTW, I want Sovereign to succeed.

Honestly? It was from a game I was designing that I wanted to develop with the engine from Eschalon from Basilisk games. We talked about it and he said I would basically need that much to fund it at least. That was for art and music. Also, unless you are working in your spare time after work or what not, your costs go up. I wasn't just pulling this from my ass.
