I can also get in to the forums. Last posts in January were started by KS backers. Not particularly upbeat.

This could be turned into a scary story. There's a half-finished game out there somewhere, floating around the internet; and if you try to install it, you get an email immediately saying that you'll die in seven days. Then you have to add 10,000 lines of code to the source, or a creepy girl will jump out of your computer screen. This is how the universe will eventually be fully simulated.

Ring hivemind, toot.

But I can't code

oops sorry

[hemmingjay]

I support that curse!

Anyway, yes I have tried hard to find him. I have been an ardent supporter and am worried about his health(physical and mental) under the strain of the undertaking.

i could dox him if you want and see if he is using any other names or email addresses ?

[Toady One]

There are parts of the thread up there where people are way out of line, attacking each other, doing the giant image thing, etc etc.  I understand it might have gotten to the point where people will be upset, but please keep the forum guidelines in mind.

I don't think anyone in fact wants to see this fail, since I'm pretty sure everyone here loves massive procedural roguelikes, but it isn't looking good.

It doesn't look like he was real forthcoming with updates or fulfilling backer rewards even before he disappeared, so...

Too far for me. Don't want to cross into invasion of privacy. Standard internet lurking and stalking is as far as I go

Just wanted to update. I've been trying my hardest to get a hold of him. I accepted the gig because I believed in him and his vision, and tried my best to get him the funding for his project. I'm truly hoping, and with good reason, that this doesn't turn out like some of you are saying. I'll keep poking and keep you posted, but I haven't seen him online in months.

Also, regarding my part of the physical reward. He spoke with me about editing my book and releasing it as a part of the rewards, and never approached me to edit it. I will still honor the pledges as I feel it's the right thing to do even though this has nothing to do with me. If anyone want's a copy of my book let me know via PM. I haven't had it edited yet and would be happy to send off a copy once it's done.

I don't like the feeling of having helped someone out of good will only to find out today that theres a chance he may have just ran off...

I'll be more careful of who I represent in the future I suppose.

[hemmingjay]

Thanks Alex! That is a stand up offer, and having read it I can attest that is is quite good. Don't beat yourself up about it, we don't even know what is going on. Personally, my first concern is his well being.

[Servant Corps]

mine still says it doesn't exist. Any updates there from LD?

nope not since 17th jun 2012

also try this link

http://www.cultawakening.com/forum/index.php

That link doesn't work.

Which is a shame because I think I was interested in fulfilling the OTHER half of the backer rewards. If you have donated money, you would appear in the game as some random person, from a peasant (lowest-funding tier) to god/civilization (highest-funding tier). After the Kickstarter finished, he posted a thread asking people to give him descriptions for the character they want inserted into the game. I was thinking that it could be possible to incorporate a bunch of random people into some 'random-world-generation' project in the future, just to see if it is even possible to have something coherent based on the suggestions of people.

Granted, since I never donated to the project, I'm unable to post in the "Backers" comments section about this "idea", and I'm unsure whether I can even commit to it. But then I wouldn't be starting a Kickstarter to raise money for this idea, so hey.

EDIT: And I was reminded by the fact that I have so many other things to do that I most likely probably won't do this. Ugh. Sorry for making this post. But I still want access to the forums.

[ScriptWolf]

The link does work I think the forums are very temperamental just keep clicking.
 
Also it really does seem LD left the Internet in November... I'm really wondering what has happened

[Sentientdeth]

Been trying to get in contact with him for weeks to no avail, if anyone who purchased would like their copy of the music, let me know here on the forum, and I'll get you the files.
