Well, that's just human nature. We were led to believe that we would not have to reinvent the wheel and that we'd have a jumping off point. What we got was a wasted year waiting.

Genuinly, the UI alone still seems so ahead of other space games and it got me wondering, why dont some of us start our own open source github attempt at recreating some of this?
If the intention was to release the source anyway, I dont see any reason why those of us who were planning on trying to fiddle with the code cant just try to come up with something on our own? Since josh seems to have disappeared, and theres no telling how long it'll be or if at all he'll return, so in the meantime theres all these technical posts on here to give us some idea how to start a new project like this surely?

I'll start as intern, since my python skills are (right now) only beginner level.FormalMoss wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 3:13 am:GLEE:
This is exciting
I'll put my name down for Project Lead, as a placeholder, until anyone else with better experience than I, comes along.

No... that's not how investing works... if you invest in a company you own stock in that company if the people running it bail out they are still accountable to their investors. This is what blows my mind with the kickstarter generation. They ARE legally held accountable for what they promised. This isn't debatable it's law. When you pay someone x dollars to get x work done they promise to do and they do not do it they are legally responsible for that work getting done. It's fraud simple and straight. Sorry you feel like his "mental health" is a reasonable excuse for not upholding his end but A.) That's not how the real world actually works and B.) HE gave himself an out with the promise to release the code yet never has. He is obviously a scammer and it really irks me to see people defend that.Silverware wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 5:20 pmBecause this is perfectly within his rights.Drakrtar wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:57 pmthe REAL question is why haven't any of you big time backers pushed for a Class Action Lawsuit?

Kickstarter is not a pre-order, it's an investment, and it may or may not succeed.
Trying to punish someone for running their own mental health into the ground to try and get their passion project across the line, and then having them finally decide to take their health more seriously and call an end to, what would essentially be, a person's code-baby.
Well, that just explains exactly why Capitalism without strict government oversight is evil.
