Why in the hell would anyone look at that video and think,'Yep, some dude sitting around in a sheep mask represents exactly what we want to accomplish.'?

[Hubris Incalculable]

You're joking. :|
You're not joking.
*HEAVY SIGH*

That looks like a poorly rendered version of Sauerbraten with a custom player model.

It's probably a camel mask, since, and I quote:

I decided sheep were not strong enough to hold the interest of boys in HEAVEN's age group. Too soft.

I still have no clue how camels relate to a Christianity-based board game though.

Heaven's age group? Is that -0.75 to 6000?

That fucking video. And this:

= [ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]= What I and many people did not realize is that by launching our ideas on public funding sites, we risk losing them to hackers, pirates & copycats combing the pages.

"ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL"

And you know what else? Every single word of that same paragraph. I tried to cherry pick so I could make snarky comments but I realized that there's nothing in there I can justify cutting out. It continues:

People in the USA are still considered the world's idea people, so we have become digital targets all across America as reported on CNN September 2012. It’s easier and cheaper to steal others work after they’ve spent years developing it. Most small businesses and people like me do not have high or mid-level security on our computers so its relatively easy compared to stealing from big businesses. Even the names are at risk. That’s my risk in going public. What if it were your ministry of 8 years and your passion? Please pray with us that HEAVEN does not fail during anti-crime, anti-violence, anti-bully month of October.

Only God knows (probably because he's the one who set it).

It could well be the first fully funded Kickstarter to completely fall through (did those Zionist sunglasses actually get made in the end?  I forget).  It's gonna be tough to get a programmer for an obscure language if he's out of money... do Kickstarter allow you to seek other forms of funding after your Kickstarter is funded?
edit: Actually I guess there's plenty of undelievered stuff, just this is the first one to admit it's really in trouble.

Here's one for you.

I haven't checked whether it's a good idea for a Kickstarter or whether the rewards make sense but you really need to watch the video.

That is the most terrifying video I have ever seen.

See the Bible? The cartoonist monk created the gates using Biblical descriptions.  He referred to the story of Jacob's ladder saying there was only one Bible version that gave a description.

I want one.

I don't really think people who fund games that essentially fail should really expect their money back if that money was spent in the process of doing so and certainly should not expect "all" their money back.

I really question that article because I fully expect that people are intelligent enough to realise this. It seems like it is calming people down that don't exist (and that I hope don't exist) who forgot that kickstarter is a way to "fund" a game and not a way to "buy" a game.

$28 short of their $50,000 goal.  That's gotta burn.

I...agree

I know it's been a couple months but I still want to meet a cartoonist monk.

Since the creators are allowed to fund their own projects, and it was so close, I can only assume they decided they didn't really waant to do the project at that price after all - that they were honestly hoping for a larger windfall.

Ah well.

Uh?  You can't back your own project.

[GlyphGryph]

Ah, looking into it, apparently they disallow it because the banks see it as illegal.

Hmm... well, I'm sure they know people in real life who could have of. Come on - it was 28 dollars. Wouldn't exactly have taken much of a push.

Yeah, it's called Credit Card Fraud.
