Possibly it's not getting many donations because the design, as described on the kickstarter page, is too simple and doesn't sound particularly interesting.
It is, After all, Very early in to development, Hence the kickstarter haha
Maybe if they try again with a better pledge and at later development stage, more people will support them.

And welcome to the ranks of Bay Watchers!

Hehe thanks!, yeah, I think £3 was too little for them to have the full game, seems silly :/

Continuing on from the spambot point...

Not sure how many of us are like this, but I know a fair few of us prefer it if someone's first post isn't making a new thread about a game. Unless they've made it/are making it.

And even if they made it, it would still usually feel better if it's an somewhat-known forum veteran who found out about the game start the thread, at least for some.

A sad truth given the way the Internet is going currently.

Well, To be fair, You can't control what a first post is, Why shouldn't I just be allowed to post a game as my first post :S, I like games haha

Besides, I can't play games at the moment, Only discuss them, Which leads me here to this sub forum. All other sub forums are irrelevant :)

Yeah, but when people see a first post with a link and little explanation, they automatically think spambot.

You could have, for example, posted in the other threads.

Yeah.

But "good this very mac windows linux good very fun overpowered gamename game good" isn't exactly a genuine post. You looked like a spambot.

This is true, there was a spambot that made a couple threads in my local warhammer club forums. In it's posts, it was perfectly articulate, referenced several armies, and generally wouldn't have been noticed except that it was responding to 5 year old posts, and had gold sites linked in it's sig.

Well, in this part of the forum we like informative first posts in our threads. So you should modify the first post of this thread and add a short description of the game, screenshots and links to videos, and maybe your comment about the presented game. And please avoid double posts and spamming (answering to every other posts).

Thank you.

I backed the game despite being skeptical for several reasons.

1) Some confusion where the developer says that the game is nearly done and Sproginator says it is early in the dev cycle.
2) No information about the "two man dev team". Previous experience, education, inspiration?
3) Very low funding request.
4) Uninspired video.

I backed because I support Indie Devs and believe in Crowd Funding.
