Because doing anything other than use the starter poses that come with DAZ 3D's Michael 4 takes time that being a producer doesn't have.

Somebody wants $7000 to make a lovely spy thriller. The video's pretty great, if you enjoy watching probably-competent actors struggle through a fucktacularly bad script.

Of course the heads of the CIA and MI6 would be 29 at most. Why would I think otherwise?

Because showing them off in a way that would show off their competence would require them to have competence in the first place?

Yup. This is basically a backdoor "flexible funding" campaign, with a stretch goal of 130 times the funding goal to actually... you know, make the game. A 2d fighting game. With a whopping 9 dumb characters. On the Ouya.

Who watches Watchman?

Seriously, though, when I saw that project posted yesterday, I thought the art was sorta cool and the project was only lovely because the idiots behind it clearly had no idea how to make a video game and hardly seemed to want to make a video game so much as a bunch of cool drawings. Now I know why I like those drawings. Guys, your M.U.S.C.L.E. fan art is decent, but DO NOT try to make money scamming people with your M.U.S.C.L.E. fan art.

EDIT: They also should have used Bermuda III AKA Pussyface.

Yeah, I got the same response when I tweeted at him as well. He followed up by assuring me that his project is good and that instead of complaining I should pitch instead.

I didn't, if you were worried.
