Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

i paid ten bucks to get this long letter from an ~*~indie game dev~*~. adjusting for inflation, i dunno i spent like 10.01 on this after a year of investing

quote:

This project has ultimately is died.

I'm usually a confident and crafty person but this failure has totally crushed me. I've since just been writing nonstop, a new game concept, book two of three of a sci fi trilogy I put on hold, and more.

Will I ever make another game? I don't know, but I have been writing feverishly. I still have an Engine to make more games.

If I ever do complete a project everyone of the backers will get the game for free.

Writing is my favorite thing to do besides playing games. Writing music or literature, it doesn't matter. It's one of those liberating tasks I can do just about anywhere and it has got me through harder times in life.

I'm currently looking forward to publishing a book I had wrote in the past.

I'm looking for a second job. I have student debt, familial costs, living costs, and more and do not have the means to pay back all the backers right now but I'd like to at least try.

I'm sorry for riling up you Kickstarter backers.

Final Note:

Please don't let me be the reason why you do not back other projects. There are several other Kickstarter projects such as the ones I've linked above and more that benefited from your generosity and your love for games.

These indie game designers are paving the future for our gaming industry. If there's one thing I do not regret is how much hope I have for the gaming industry with people like you backers supporting the underdogs.

watching someone try to face the people who just allowed them to live basically without a job for 2 years for literally nothing is weird because it's like all of them have this one script they're writing off

"trust me, no one is as devastated as me"

"this has been the hardest time of my life, and i come to you with my [proverbial or not, depends on the ks] tail between my legs to say i moved to portland with your ks money"

whatever the one that mashed a whole bunch of different NES characters into each others games


people kickstarted the idea that they were just getting a better, non-license infringing version of the flash game but then they moved to portland, bought a house to all live in, tried to add multiplayer, lost all of their money, and the last i heard was "we're starting over with Unity" because they heard about the new 2D system

they pretty much did everything 100% wrong

And the sprites, for heroes, enemies, and town-folk alike, are a fusion of classic and modern: they evoke the monochromatic still figures of the early Ultima games as well as the flat, silhouetted pictograms found in, for example, Windows 8 and Windows Phone's Modern UI.
