If you want to get my attention, opening your Kickstarter pitch with a mention of transhumanism is a great way to go about that. Another great way is to make a game that's essentially 'RimWorld in space', and developers Ominux Games seem to have succeeded on both counts.
Starmancer is a space station sim where you play as a human/AI hybrid tasked with managing a human crew. The devs point to Dwarf Fortress as an inspiration, with colonists that get up to sneaky stuff like blabbing about their days to their crew mates, forming relationships and potentially starting mutinies if you chuck their friends out of airlocks. Starmancer's Kickstarter campaign is set to comfortably exceed its target, with an alpha that'll start in the next few months and a full release planned for January 2019.
