It's great that you guys want the focus to be on making the game and not marketing it. I understand the idea and do agree that it will most probably result in a better game. A very niche game, but still a great one.
However this does not mean that every single form of 'advertising' should be dismissed. Doing very basic stuff like having the news you post on the forums and show through the videos also be posted in other places like twitter, youtube, the kickstarter updates and the main website would help more people discover the game.
Having more people interested in the game can make it better. On top of the obvious extra funding there's stuff like more activity on the forums where ideas, suggestions and feedback takes place. It'll also help the game be subject to a bigger pool of testers during the Alpha and BETA stages which would directly influence the quality of the finished product.
Your ideology of focusing on making the game as opposed to marketing it is very commendable, but please don't fully neglect all aspects of marketing the game past the forums here. A lot of good things can come of it.
