A fitting title.

I use a joystick with my flight simulators.
I have a racing wheel and pedals for my racing simulators.
You have a hand for your sex simulations.
All is well in the world.
Herp-a-derp.
We'll have an update later this week about CLANG. I realize the end of February is coming up quick.
Thanks,

Among other things, I've seen live gameplay from CLANG. Which is already more than 99% of the game KS have been able to produce so far...
But dumbfucks gonna dumbfuck, eh?
There needs to be better accountability mechanisms with KickStarter... plain and simple. Free capital should not come with no strings attached. Especially when we start looking at figures of a half million bucks.
Also, lol @ the comment on the Gamasutra article:

Or people can not throw their money down obvious money pits.
No, they'll release something, it just will be disappointing and forgettable.First real big failure will be the first real big KS project: Broken Age.

I really appreciated the goal you were going for in this, I do still dream of the vision you presented to us in that first video, unfortunatly this turned out to be a horribly run project. There are a lot more lessons to be learned from what that last 'well, we give up' update we got.
Quite frankly it was pretty bullshit when the demo was released and you guys suddenly changed your story to "oh yeah yeah this whole thing was for a demo for more cash, not a product". While I come from a camp of people that just enjoys melee mechanics online, and I knew I was gambling here, I really would not have backed this project if you had been honest about kickstarting a demo, so i guess being deceptive was a good move on your part then.
Communication throughout the project was horrible, at no point was there a place for discussion about the project or even small updates with what was being tried. I would have at least felt I had obtained some value to have had the opportunity to communicate with the dev team and other vested users on thoughts for various control schemes as well as the idea of how to map the sword to a computer game.
Honestly I had a feeling that you guys thought you knew everything, and didn't feel like any of your invested backers would have anything to add towards the project.
The only thing you can do now to save yourself is to open source everything you have, if it is even worth it at all.
Still wondering how much Haba sank into this -- next time you want to throwaway cash I suggest hookers and blow, instead.
I'd seriously consider investing in a force-feedback chair like that if I knew I could use it for many many years, with upgraded game hardware and frequent games released that support it.
Just have a MechWarr game with it and procedurally generated missions, random mechs and loadouts and an air duct system to blast the cabin full of hot air when you overheat.
Neal Stephenson probably has a shit load of money, he should refund everybody.

Weird that they can run out of money though, Stephenson should be pretty well off enough to put some in, no ?
