It has these, instead of regular letters. Even for search and address bar.

The Tales of Games website is down :(

Last tweet from ToG was June 15, although there was a retweet of pillows 3 days ago!? This is the only post ToG has made in a month

This is still happening, right?

well they still had funds back in March of last year. so the answer is no, they've surely run out of cash by now and the game is dead and also will never be released

speaking of releases, this was in the last ToG monthly



those were the days

My game company, Cargo Cult Games, will sell Blueprints on the UE4 marketplace to make money while we determine what masterpiece we should create. We're thinking a survival game with lovely graphics.

If there is a money issue I am willing to finance development if every third character in the game is replaced with me.

Are there actually money problems or are people just making wild guesses on why the game isn't finished yet?

Because my guess as to why it isn't finished yet is because it's an ambitious indie game, as those often take much longer to complete than initially estimate and also tend to take a long to complete just in general.

well it's getting close to 3 years since the kickstarter itself, and we're about 2 years past the initial release date. the latest update we heard is from March 2014 where they said they were moving some money around so they could ramp up to meet their 2014 release date

seems reasonable to expect that the money has dried up at this point, but i mean it's not like these guys are working on it full time. "running out of money" probably means something different for this type of project

Maybe they programmed the game so well it became a rogue AI and killed them all? Too bad the netcode is garbage though.

There isn't all that much to report really. Nothing exciting at least.

Just churning away on this eternal game project. Spent the day removing errors from maps and fixing up inconsistencies.

It was almost as boring as actually playing the game.

To bad you guys didn't have the cache to hire a documentary crew to film your production and edit it to look like a drama that will excite the fanboys into a froth.

We will film a super pretentious "making of" documentary after the fact.

It will be called ToGjam episode 2. It won't be full of drama, it will be full of poo poo.

If you can demonstrate that you've actually been wokring on the game rather than spending all the money on pocky and vintage figurines of actraiser characters then you may get funded again.
