So once you/Rotondo gets the funding pledges, where does it go from there? What further steps have to be taken?

The kickstarter page kinda already addresses this. Basically, he has to just make a bunch more content, since the game's base mechanics seem to already be pretty well rounded out. Also it buys him food while he does that.

Woo, the Kickstarter's broken past the 8K mark, less than $300 to go! :D

Ah. So kickstarter doesn't really do much other than storing the pledges and allowing people to make them right?

kickstarter lets people put up projects on the basis that if they get funded, they take 5% of the funds.
its basically the middleman like amazon; although they sell nothing themselves, they are known to be such a central company that holds a lot of good products/projects, and so potential companies/projects flock to it as a way to reach a larger audience and make money.
ingenious really since the base maintenance cost of kickstarter is probably a lot less than the $$ they sometimes take in with huge kickstarters like star citizen.
