Credit: Wube Software's 2013 fixed-funding campaign for Factorio, whose team list names Tomas Kozelek and "marwin kovarex" (Michal Kovařík) as co-founders. The page says funding closed on Sunday 3 March 2013; this capture is from 25 April 2013.
Notes: The campaign's "Motivation" section is Wube's own account of the games the two founders played as children and the idea that followed. Its testimonials quote Minecraft players and a Mojang developer, but the campaign text names no Minecraft connection of its own. Use "Motivation".
