Community Kidney Quest: A point-and-click fundraiser where you need to save Steve The Developer - UPDATE

[Jenkem]

the emus will have their day.

just not today.

 

[Agesilaus]

So of 153 payments reviewed, it's those made between 14 Oct to 29 Oct that failed to be recorded by the Codex (all are sitting in PayPal).

In total, 61 payments failed to be recorded. I've just gone through and manually added those. This has added $1,033.04 to Steve's Kidney campaign.

Anyone who donated, check to see if your donation is now there. If not, PM me with the date, amount, and PayPal transaction ID and I can look into it.

Thanks! I see my name now. The total donations have been rocketing up, we are almost at the goal~

Hey, I don't know if this goes without saying, but anyone who's donated here will be getting a copy of "Quest for Infamy: Roehm to Ruin" from me when it comes out. Any platform you like, GoG, Steam, Itch.io, etc. You let me know. When it's finished and ready to be released, I'll let you all know here beforehand so you can get early release. It's the least I can do to say thank you.

Shouldn't there be a minimum amount, so no one takes advantage? Like $20? $5? $40? I'm someone who likes to see the good in people, but I …don't.

That's right - I have FOUR kidneys inside my body right now. The next one, as they tell me, will be implanted on the right again, almost next to the last one. I will have five kidneys in me after the next transplant.

Why don't they take the dead ones out?

If you got hungry enough, could they serve as a food source?

Why don't they take the dead ones out?

Well, organs aren't just lying around disconnected in your body. Even if an organ isn't working properly any more, I suspect it is still "connected" to the circulatory system among other things, so removing it wouldn't be as easy as just keeping it in there. I guess they would remove them only if he was running of out space ("I'm sorry, Mr. Alexander, but all your organ slots are full" ) or they started causing actual harm.

Bingo. The kidneys are actually located in a pretty protected spot. They can remove them more easily with minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery now, but trying to implant one in that area, they would have to open it up wider, spread some ribs... a mess. Unless the kidneys are causing harm (as in Polycystic Kidney Disease) they just atrophy and basically calcify and don't cause any harm.

As for a minimum donation, QFI:RtR is definitely not as large as QFI was, so if someone where really wants to scam the game for a dollar pledge... their dollar and the small want to help out is enough for me to give them a copy of my game.

Money better spent than Wasteland 2, that's for sure.

Have you considered seeking refuge in Europe?
We have this thing called healthcare. Should last and keep you healthy until the illuminati have finally managed to eradicate socialism communism.

Might want to train on a new accent so we don't notice you're American though... Folks nowadays take less kindly to y'all. Don't hide it with a fake British accent either, we're all pretty happy to finally be rid of those.
Canadian accent would definitely work... but you best come up with a damned good cover story, because leaving Canada, what's that all aboot eh? Maybe claim a maple syrup allergy or something...

I think an American accent will do just fine. The picture of the US within Europe at the moment is somewhere between Idiocracy and Escape From L.A.
Everyone will believe you wanted to escape. Refugees welcome, but really this time.

Bunch of communists


But glad to see that the payments are finally getting through.
Hope it works out well

Well, he is trying to get funds to stay alive so he can actually complete the game.

Man, I live so close to Canada, it's like home. It's just a short car ride for me to go get some Poutine. And apparently now legal weed. So Canadian accent? No prob, I basically already have it.

I think we'll easily beat the $5k goal. Where are the stretch goals? Maybe some extra augments.

 

[Konjad]

I bet Steve will scam 'dex and just take all this money and die.

Or maybe literal stretching. Don't know what a dude is into in his free time.

You've got me figured out. I've given my wife instructions to spend the money on booze, and one t-shirt that says, "THANK FUCK FOR THE CODEX", and to send you all a pic of her wearing it by the seaside somewhere.

You gotta have plans.

 

[Xzylvador]

At least make it a white T-shirt... and wet.

Again, money well spent.

 

[TT1]

Just few dollars away from the goal. Lets do it, cmon.

 

[toucanplay]

Congratulations, Blackthorne, the Codex decided you can live.

 

[pOcHa]

hey man, are you sure you still have enough Essence points left for one more bio-modification? i know they lower it less than cyberware does, but still... (btw, if you "chrome out" on too much cyberware, what is it called when you overdo it with bioware?)

anyway, best of luck

 

[Jimmious]

gj Codex, best wishes Blackthorne hope it all goes well

 

[HoboForEternity]

Congrats to everyone for donating in this fundraiser, we reached the goal. Now, what kind of Codex themed kidney will we get?

ask the doctor to engrave a this on the kidney:

 

[Haba]

wait a moment.

Did we agree if the operation was performed turn-based or real-time w. pause?

 

[HoboForEternity]

no, the doctors will just click scalpel, then point it to steve, then combine kidney and shit in his inventory, click steve, combine string and needle in his inventory, then click on steeve, voila! steve now have a new kidney

 

[Feyd Rautha]

If this continues he will soon have enough money for two kidneys
