Re: So, will it be ever delivered?

I'm not sure how to give you the pound of flesh you want... All I want is a game and the rewards for the tier I purchased, with a secondary request being for a post-mortem report of what happened with the project in terms of costs, so that both investors and content producers can learn from the exp...

Re: So, will it be ever delivered?

Reported. Five years is long enough. If there had been real communication, any attempt to reach out at all...No updates on the backer gifts, no discussion of redress...Only the hope, it would seem, that people would forget and forgive $300,000. Just report him. It's the last piece of this to do. He ...

Re: The Visual Novel

Then, again, a post-mortem published on kickstarter: -What happened -What went wrong -How the money was spent -What was learned -What to expect from the modified result -What's going to happen to people that paid for physical rewards. Even and especially if the answer is 'nothing'. Considering that ...

Re: The Visual Novel

Fred is a friend of mine, but that doesn't mean that we share details about our finances with each other. You are asking the wrong person. I do plan to address one of your other questions later on though. The problem being: The person who could answer the questions isn't saying anything at all. Tha...

Re: The Visual Novel

Nobody owes anything to anyone here. Except Fred who solicited funds for a project, solicited additional funds for an expanded project, and promised physical rewards at specific backing tiers. For those of you who contributed expecting that something will get done, it would appear that you forget t...

Re: The Visual Novel

At this point a post mortem, either from fred or signed off by fred detailing where the money went, and how this played out would be better than the current treatment. But since we're not going to get the base of what we paid for, the extra tiers that were sold, nor any of the physical objects that ...

Re: The Visual Novel

"If problems come up, creators are expected to post a project update explaining the situation. Sharing the story, speed bumps and all, is crucial. Most backers support projects because they want to see something happen and they'd like to be a part of it. Creators who are honest and transparent will ...

Re: The Visual Novel

"He feels he's made a commitment." He did make a commitment. He solicited funds, gathered backers, on the promise of a completed project. In order to gain funding, he promised different tiers more than just the game; He promised real physical products. In order to obtain funding in excess of the tar...

Re: The Visual Novel

"Beyond that, well, I think that will likely be it. Fred will be unhappy about that..."

-Fred- will be unhappy? $300,000 was contributed to this. That's a lot of money to just shrug off and say 'shit happens'. I'd love to see what went where, and compare it to the end result.
