    You shouldn't back down so easily ;)

    I post all projects that interest me personally, or the more popular ones.

    No idea, sorry. Whenever I feel like it.

    Flexible funding is dangerous for the dev. Sure, he gets money no matter what. But he has to honor the tiers no matter what. That means designing the items and getting them made, even if only a half dozen are sold. All of these items have a base cost of some sort to make and it can't be covered with low sales. And if the dev goes nuts with books to print, maps, trinkets and the like the campaign will cost him more than what he gets for it.

    Well he can take the money and run but he'd be breaching a sales contract with each pledger, which apparently isn't true if the project is never completed.

    No, Cleve straight up says you'll get those the rewards regardless. Good luck to anyone wishing to prosecute a neanderthal though. :salute:

    The distorted glitch music is pretty cool and different in the preview video, but the game looks like some Panasonic 3D0 demo and completely devoid of... well gameplay.
