Getting his hopes up, then crushing them utterly. Evil.

[lordcooper]

Deliciously evil.

I just figured it out, Ellwood's a living sitcom character.
Seriously, just think about it.
He has no clue what he's doing, has (probably closer to had now) a few million dollars, & he's hilariously optimistic about this.

[forsaken1111]

I wonder if he was one of those kids who's mother always told him he was 'special' and the other kids teased him because they were 'just jealous'.

[Fenrir]

If this is going to be so fabulous, and if he is so rich, one wonders why he does not simply start hiring people to do this for him. Did his pizza shop have a Kickstarter page?

[Sensei]

There ya go.

Aw, you cut off the best part- the hideously prominent "Owner Login" button and "Powered by InstantPage® from GoDaddy.com" tab.

The worst part is, neither his personal wealth nor the kickstarter would be near enough to start an MMO.

[lordcooper]

I just realised that he has an uncanny resemblance to the forever alone guy.

I love how the guy from the OP's kickstarter spells "currency" in a different way in every line.

Apparently the guy makes shitty social games nowadays.

Ron Paul: Road to Revolution has been fully funded, and it appears to be a platformer where you play as Ron Paul and beat bosses at the Federal Reserve while getting Gold coins and winning delegates.

Man I have to get in on this kickstarter thing.


Just post something ludicrous, get famous for the absurdity, and roll in cash.

[RedWarrior0]

On that Ron Paul game, the bottom paragraph is something that's very true:

Indie Gaming, I hope, will thrive in the face of dull, spiritless, cloned, big-budget games. Not every game created has to be the 'best game', but they could at least be fun. But what makes a game fun? To that I'd have to say that it's both a science and an art, and that it's purely subjective. Fun *should* be subjective, and that's what makes Indie Gaming so great: the games cost virtually nothing to produce, they can take greater risks, and they don't have to go through the 'creative' oversight of a publisher. I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but I hope to at least share why I'm so passionate about the games I make.

This man's obsession with banking is starting to look like a disease of some sort.

[Draco18s]

is it just me, or does he keep setting the final date further and further away the closer it gets to that date?

it's probably just me.

It's just you.  You can't edit the ending date once you publish the kickstarter.  Once it starts, you have a deadline.
