Kickstarter supporter here. Sad to see... The offer to return the money is nice, but I don't think needs to be done. KS backers need to expect that many of their backed projects will fail.

  Thanks. I'd like to at minimum provide the option. The majority of people seem to understand, but two options are always better than zero options. :) Some people gave me a lot of money (for having never met them face to face) - over $1000. I can understand if they would like this back. Or really I could understand if anyone would want any amount back.

    As with the others, backed it on KS, and I don't feel like you owe me anything more than what you've provided. Keep the money, and do something to keep your dream moving forward.

  Kickstarter supporter as well; knew the risk, do not want money back.

People these days, always wanting to give you money back, I swear! :) The comments on the post and the corresponding KS have confirmed what I always suspected about the project. People weren't just interested in the game, they were interested in Gavan's journey, a finished game being a nice side-effect. Like so many others, I certainly don't want my money back and I'll gladly give more money if allowed. Gavan, if you're reading this, I admire your integrity and your kindness, which is a big reason I supported the project in the first place (beyond VQ being obviously really neat). I sincerely hope you don't give up but either way, I wish you all the best. Here's to hoping there's a generous soul around these parts willing to forward a fair wad of cash your way!

  I'm reading :) I should be sleeping, but I'm still reading (I've been awake for 20 hours). I just need one or two really bored billionaires who have run out of meaningful things to spend money on. Hope its not too much to ask. :)

  Backer here. This was one of those projects where I just though "I'm probably not even gonna play around with it. It's so cool that I just want it to be done". It's sad to see it come to this but greatly enjoyed the whole process. So, I don't want my money back. If you want to give something back, share the code.

    Thanks! I am sharing the code regardless (source will go up on github soon)
