"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

It's not much, 375k will get you a couple of developers and a graphic artist for year.

It's called a "Ballot Box with Check";

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_mark

You can type it "easily" by holding ALT, pressing + on the numpad and then typing 2611 and releasing ALT. I say "easily" because that's how it's "supposed" to be, but it has never worked for me on Windows 7, but it worked fine on XP. You can at least copy it from the wiki.

So let's see ...

The game looks like shit. I love retro looks but this is the "free or shareware" look from back in the day. It's styled on one of the least interesting LucasArts games called Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders with slightly more colours and the Money Island 1 CD version interface:

http://www.abandonia.com/files/games/315/Zak%20McKracken%20and%20the%20Alien%20Mindbenders_1.png

$20 is too much for a Kickstarter of this kind of game. $10, perhaps. $20 is what you'd pay when it's completed. Why pay full price when you take the risk?

And yeah, the Sarkeesian thing = automatic boycott. Anyone who defends her like that, doesn't deserve any of my money.

The Developers beyond this are reliable,the Minimum of money is suspicious for these kinds of games as Blackwell with Voice acting costed x times less.

still,I guess this min budget is for minimal risk?

a "bit" overpriced,call me a "sucker" but backed it Very Happy

she's not involved with the game, its the fact that he publicly supports her that is pushing poeple away.

I still don't understand why people such as him goes out risking being disliked by stating such things... Why not just shut the fuck up and keep his opinion to himself. His game will suffer less for it.

Let me guess ... he lives in San Fran too? That place is a cesspool of SJW scum if you ask me. I bet the social pressure to bend over and take it up the ass by butch women is the highest in all of the US there Laughing .

But seriously - it's a stupid move. He does two things in one with that Tweet:
- he shows how much he supports that dumb scamming cunt
- he alienates his fans who disagree with her by telling them to fuck off

Well guess what, Ron? I was always a fan until I read that Tweet. I'll fuck off and keep my money for people who can rub two brain cells together.

Maybe we should differentiate between Ron the SJW and Ron the game developer.

I mean, most of the time, I dont care what those dev people say or do in their personal life, I care about their product.


F.e.: I dont like what Hitler did as a person, but he was a great writer and painter none the less.
