We "have a plan" is probably not going to lead to good news. Everyone always has plans.

I will respond with what I've been told for the last ten years, you're not purchasing a game, you're supporting a creator.

The number of people who excuse bad business or outright fraud with this nonsense is amazing.

If it's a Kickstarter, the Plan B probably looks like a heist involving a Swiss Bank account, a helicopter, and a name change.

I won’t lie. I’m stoked for Return to Dark Tower & also glad I got in on the 25th Century Games edition of Ra. I fully expect $50+ in shipping on the former :S

As this goes south as we enter recession with interest rates cranked, this is going to go south like across the industry. Consumer trust is famously fickle and amorphous ("animal spirits") and once it goes bearish as kickstarters start failing almost everyone is going to struggle to fund imo.

As someone with a looming Gamefound project (Phantom Division, probably only a few months from launch) I am wondering if I will have spent hundreds... thousands... of hours for nothing.

Would a traditional publisher consider it? STF came out that way.

It is under contract from a publisher (Elzra). It is not my decision how they choose to fund its production.

I can guarantee at least one sucker is in for this with shipping. Precisely how big is your statue of Galactus going to be though?

Galactus will be approximately 12.8" square and disguised as a cardboard box.

No new information, no actual concrete information of any kind, no timeline, no indication of what's next, no nothing... Why wasn't this statement released 3 weeks ago if this is the entirety of it lol.
