Thank you. Had to go to court today to file a bunch of papers. So get to wait and see what the court says.

Re: The Visual Novel
Wow. Sorry to hear that. I had a bad car accident 6 years ago. The medical bills and months when I couldn't work probably would have ruined me if I hadn't had good auto and health insurance, and so many people can't afford that. Best of luck to you. Unfortunately the car insurance company says oh s...

Re: The Visual Novel
Are you dying? Maybe Fred can talk to you about how some of the story was supposed to go or add you to the beta testers, if that’s why you are insistent about receiving your rewards soon. No not currently dying although was in a bad car accident and also hit by a car as a pedestrian recently. I am ...

Re: The Visual Novel
cidjen ok well keep defending Fred. Some of his backers don't have the luxury to wait indefinitely for this game to come out.

Re: The Visual Novel
The extra money was, counter-intuitively, a big part of the problem. Fred felt like he needed to produce a game that was good enough to justify that kind of funding, and that kind of support. That was a big driver behind the massive feature creep that set in, with the "slow animation" and other thi...

Re: The Visual Novel
Yes but we don't know that for sure and how much was used - I saw somewhere a construct like 'supported himself and family' when he had little time to do comic and art for sale - does not mean he used ALL of it. TLI and negative bias, hello ? Well considering nothing much with the game has been pro...

Re: The Visual Novel
Fred mentioned financial concerns from what I saw on the rants, a total of one time. You are trying to give it more meaning than it deserves - he was sick, then he got better, and then he wanted to make up for the lost value by embarking on something new - that is what I see as an outsider. Wanted ...

Re: The Visual Novel
Nope. All it says is that Fred had health problems before this started. I don't think there was a deliberate anything that happened here- no one could have expected the amount of money that came in and I think a lot of the promises came with overexcitement and the belief that they'd have the resour...

Re: The Visual Novel
Does this timeline still look like a 'deliberate overpromise occured' to you ? Yes because it clearly indicates there was health problems before the kickstarter ever started. After nearly five years they are not even close to completing the base game of two characters 4 - 6 hours each per character...

Re: The Visual Novel
I passed your question about the money to Fred. He said a lot of it has gone into production, into paying for tools and software and for music production, and also that taxes were not insignificant, not to mention some money held aside for the rewards. He didn't mention it, but I'd expect that some...

Re: The Visual Novel
I'm even willing to wait longer for the actual game. I've waited 5 years, I can wait a few more months for a COMPLETE part 1. That said, I refuse to continue to patiently await my pledge's physical products much longer. Those should have been shipped out years ago. Hell, the calendar was pictured f...

Re: The Visual Novel
Actually if you read the kickstarter terms of service backers are promised the rewards for the tier that they backed and can subject to legal action if they do not receive said rewards. This is not an investment or playing the lottery. Fred owes people! This... As much as I hate it. And as much as ...

Re: The Visual Novel
Nobody owes anything to anyone here. For those of you who contributed expecting that something will get done, it would appear that you forget the first rule of investments: Nothing is guaranteed. It's always a crap shoot. I won't shout at God if I put in $30 for some lottery tickets and all I get b...

Re: The Visual Novel
@cidjen When I heard that they only had an hour of gameplay done after nearly five years of development I got upset. I am wondering what they are doing with their time. I seen many other new indie game companies produce visual novel games in less time and even with voice acting. I do agree that hear...

Re: The Visual Novel
Only that given what is known, digging into them for not disclosing the health issues, and even worse, connecting that to any money movement, is a misguided move, some would even call that mean. (And it's not like it wasn't disclosed really, numerous times) My question is how much are the health is...

Re: The Visual Novel
Because health issues like that, they don't usually simply 'go away' otherwise than the 'terminal' way ? They are persistent till they die ? I did not mean the heart disease.

Re: The Visual Novel
There isn't an hour of gameplay. Here's what Paarfi was saying at the end of September: The whole visual novel project has not gone as anyone had hoped, and I can tell you for sure that no one feels worse about that than Fred. We're close to having something that we can release to backers. It's onl...

Re: The Visual Novel
Your cynicism is misguided . Not misguided. For nearly five years the backers of this kickstarter have waited for something anything to show for the money that has been given to Fred. For nearly five years we heard a lot of excuses. After five years I find it troubling that there is only about an h...

Re: The Visual Novel
As for what happened, well, it just didn't go well. Inexperience with game development; Fred learning to delegate and work with a team; major feature creep; a big underestimation of the quantity of artwork required; the realization that only Fred could draw stuff that looked "Megatokyo"; and lots m...
