Looks like a very worthwhile project. I have only one caveat, or point
of possible confusion:
You're planning to develop a "character conversation parser"? Why? Why
not use one of the existing, robust parsers (either Inform 7 or TADS 3)?
If you're really planning to develop a new parser, 60 days will
certainly not be sufficient -- not without a much larger budget, and
maybe not even then.
On the other hand, you may be planning to use Inform or TADS as your
development system, and that paragraph in the Kickstarter page may
actually be referring to something simpler than building a parser.
Can you elucidate?
