While it's kind of everyone to be supporting Agashi so, it's completely irresponsibly to abandon projects that people have invested in- it reflects poorly not only on the creator (which makes people less likely to support them in the future- good for Agashi or "Lee Almonte" for not having much connected to those names/aliases I suppose), but unfortunately also on all indie media. Referring to the kickstarter page , several people have already noted that this is the last project they'll invest in. People need to feel confident supporting independent artists and creators via kickstarter, and similar platforms, because it's a seriously fantastic resource, but the more its abused, the more people will only be willing to support games they'll know they'll get- i.e. big gaming companies, and letting them be the only people to produce games would be terrible. As hiyamelle said, backers should at least be informed Agashi can't fulfill their project- that way a compromise could be met between backers and creator. Despite the demo illustrating promising potential, I'm sorely disappointing about this turn of events. Ghosting backers after raising $11,553 could basically be seen as theft actually considering that Agashi entered into a contract with every single backer to complete the project once the game was successfully funded, and any single backer is currently in a position to pursue legal action under section 4 of the terms of use. :/
