Negativity? I think it's fair that people were worried about the silence on the project around the time it was suppose to be released, in particular those who had contributed their own money to back the project. Calling it negativity is a bit much I think, a lot of the comments were showing concern for the developer themselves and just wanted an update on what was going on. I'm glad for the backers that the developer has updated about the project and hope that the developer themselves are getting the rest/support they need for the difficult time they seem to be going through in their personal life.
I did not say at all that the negativity was without cause. It's a normal response to be upset/disappointed but the person you're backing is still human and things happen. She updated elsewhere and so I thought it would be nice to spread the positivity to other platforms and not just the kickstarter. Negativity isn't any less negative because you feel it's "deserved". Anyway it was not to start an argument it was to hopefully lift the spirits of both the developer and those waiting who were not sure whether or not the project was still going.
Edit:(I'd also like to add that there was a bit of negativity even before the missed release too, so please don't think I'm singling out incidents. There has simply been some things said and if you don't know what I'm talking about then don't worry about it. I just want to hopefully encourage people to be more supportive? Or something. Or at least be supportive myself.)
