I backed it early and paid less for a half-implemented editor but wanted to show support.
The later you back the more that's actually built.
What main motivation do you think the seller has? It's basically an early bird discount.

When has that not been a marketing tactic
Interestingly, I've seen some devs turn the concept on its head and charge more up front, kind of to say "only buy in now if you are really doing this to support development, and in return you'll get an early release build - but you aren't buying the game early."
