Sadly it didn't make the $500.000 for 'Excessively Romantic Content' :schnaeuzen:

If I got that correctly they are even using Ren'Py :sweeeet:

I guess the whole story is way too random for Darkling. Even I just follow the whole web-comic only because I want to know where the heck is this going. The last story arc with Piro and Miho is pretty much the most 'consitent' IMO. Apart from Miho thinking and handling her reality as if being in a game world... (which is the bit making me wonder where Fred G. is going to take that...?)

Funded, but where is it going?

I recently had a look at what happened to that quite ambitious project and despite its generous funding the artist apparently so far was not able to meet the funder's expectations. "Piro" also seems to have other private issues. So until now there doesn't seem to be anything released yet.

As Darkling already pointed out, "Piro" is approaching (t)his "story" rather randomly, which was iirc also the reason his former partner left this web-comic.

You don't? Maybe after I read about "Largo" leaving the team I had to think of you :SCNR:

Well, Piro had some $350.000 and nevertheless aparently blew it.
Wish we'd those additional $90.000 back in 2006, when I was a Game Designer.
