Yeah, look at the backer comments in the KS and they're completely in the dark. It's been two years since this was supposed to be finished.

Agashi likely was only online the other day because they were notified of activity in the QC lemma thread. Which surprise, surprise, was someone else wondering what the radio silence is about.

There's time to lurk but not type a sentence or two of how much script is left?

[edit] It's better to be certain you're working at a snail's pace than wonder if you've abandoned this project entirely.

Also better to not blatently ignore the people who funded your project.

Agreed. Out of curiosity, is kickstarter legally binding in any way? It just seems overly trusting to pay before the product is even done.

"Is a creator legally obligated to fulfill the promises of their project?

Yes. Kickstarter's Terms of Use require creators to fulfill all rewards of their project or refund any backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill. "

Most aren't legally persecuted unless it's a large heap of money and there's evidence of scamming and funds not being used for the product. If the backers take things in their own hands it'd be considered a civil case.

In most cases the creator is just outed as irresponsible and biting off more than they can chew. Those who give the occasional vague post every other century or never post at all because they don't want to admit failure are the ones seen as scummy.

Reputation takes a hit either way.

oooh! Thanks for clearing it up. Doubt anyone's actually gonna sue though, so the creator's rep is definitely most at stake here...
