I figured out what bothers me about this Kickstarter- There's almost nothing about the actual "project", that is, the game.
This is all that's said about it:
"As I said in the video, I want to create an RPG that isn't too violent and isn't filled with bad words, still has a good story line & cool graphics, but has shorter cut scenes, less menus & fewer controls. And most importantly, I want a game that allows team members to face danger together and get hurt but doesn't kill team mates off & eliminate them from battle."
That's it.
There's tons and tons of stuff about...well, everything but the supposed project. The game itself is secondary, if that.
So it's hard for me to see how this is really about a project and not about sending someone to summer camp. If that's the case, it would seem to very clearly run against Kickstarter's rules.
- itafroma 14y agoI think that's a fair criticism: definitely one of the reasons why I didn't decide to back the project. And I think the idea that this is may be really about paying tuition instead of finishing the game is something that's fair to report and let Kickstarter decide whether it violates their terms of use. Overall, it looks like a bad Kickstarter campaign to fund, but it's not fraud and the level of vitriol about it is over the top. Bad Kickstarters happen all the time[1], but they don't get this crazy amount of hate. [1]: http://www.reddit.com/r/shittykickstarters http://www.reddit.com/r/shittykickstarters
