Tl;dr: still working on it, just slower because I ran out of money a long time ago and had to get day job(s). also I have been working on ways to bring on some assistance with finishing it. also don’t yell at Chuck about it - shipping the game is on me.

I mean one of the reasons it’s taking longer than I expected too is that I kinda released a hugo nominated book and had a 4-month tour but sure, bots that scream at me daily, I’m just a lazy scammer.

Whoever told me as a kid that if I wanted the same respect as a man I had to work twice as hard severely underestimated that amount

I had to do the math for this recently and might as well share the info because maybe that’ll illustrate my point - In the last 5 months, more than 1 months worth of that time was spent doing consecutive all-nighters. One of those nights was my birthday.

so that thing where people think if you just work hard no one will care that you’re a marginalized person or a minority is total bullshit.

“It’s also a super unhealthy relationship to have with your work and people shouldn’t do it”, I type from my room in Tokyo, too busy working on stuff to really enjoy being in a place I’ve always wanted to visit for the first time

“I ran out of money... but I’m in Japan. I’ve been on tour for 4 months cause of my book that’s been generally panned & disproven, which doesn’t account for the rest of the time I’ve spent spending your money for this game. Oh yeah, I’m broke. TEEHEE. Japan is neat.”

Buddy I realise you probably haven't finished high school yet but here in the real world we have something called "expenses" for when you have to go somewhere because of work
-
She gets over 1.5k a month on patreon, exactly how much expenses does she have. Gold shower curtains perhaps? how does one who gets money from her book, 1.5k a month in patreon and nearly 100k run out of money without handing in a product. Stop excusing snake oil merchants.

Hey, a year's supply of hair dye isn't gonna buy itself, you know.

Announced Oct 2016 w/goal of $15k. Funding ended Nov 2016@~$90k. planned ship date of Feb 2017. past halfway mark of 2018, no product. You claim funds ran out before start of your book tour. No new ship date set. How does one mismanage this poorly?

This is Zoe Quinn we're talking about.

I'm a bit fuzzy on how these work and a little new to kickstarters. You raised money for a project (ie. others invested capital), but instead of producing something, you spent those funds and have nothing to show for it. Am I understanding this right?
-
I'm a bit fuzzy on how these work, did you try to get a refund?
@Kainedamo said he would find someone who tried to get a refund and failed, but we haven't gotten any updates. -
I don't understand. I need to "try to get a refund" before I can pose a question? Also, why do you feel that I am somehow responsible or accountable for what a completely different person claimed?
-
You guys don't even believe that a crime has taken place, if you're acting like this. If you thought there was a crime, you'd be dealing with the police, not trolling randos.

85k and still can't I mean seriously stardew valley was developed by 1 guy
-
And his representation of homosexuality wasn't the lazy use of them as the end of all of his jokes. He managed to write nuance positively and choice without the exploitation on a shoestring.
-
How did you view stardew valley
-
You mean how I rate it? It's a love letter to farming life games. Amazing to be one of so few to have open choice, that let the characters just be themselves (without tried tropes like tingle leans on), and worth waiting the 2+ years hearing the rumour of it to it's release.
-
With so much FREE additional content 3x over on a £10 game, no KSer/stretch goals/dlc etc. Respect to him. That said, it'd be nice if it was more then besides a minor nod and less avoidance, he even started to be more direct with issues like with Shane. Still positive though.
-
It's amazing really how much his writing has developed nuance and tact in 3 patches...tingle's though in a probably 100s of books by this point? not so much. Just goes to show there are hard working talented creators that actually care about issues and representation....

I'm crying how well this describe me
