I know the reply is late, but I uploaded it for you. I've only just discovered the game myself.

This game had a good storyline, with few tweeks to the main character model this game could have been a success.

It needed a dev that wasn't a complete flake first.

It could have the best character models ever created but would still be a flop if it only managed 1 update.

Judgemental much?

The dev is working on a different game and just came out with an update. What's flaky about that?

Starting new projects without finishing the one started originally ..... very flaky.

Also one of the top reasons devs never bring in the big money. Dropping a project to then start another puts people on the defensive and it's been seen time and time again.

Pretty much every developer here (and many non-active developers, like me) have had a game that just didn't work out. If that's your definition of "very flaky," the term as you use it is meaningless. I'd note that Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Paul McCartney, and pretty much every artist and writer in words or song is "very flaky" by this definition.

The top reason why devs don't bring in the big money is because it is a tiny crowded market and most devs are crap at marketing themselves. Crushstation has restarted Female Agent I don't know how many times and still makes north of $60k a year, because he communicates constantly. The Architect has completed four games without abandoning any and gets $24k per year.

The top reason is the product connecting with people willing to spend their money.

The best marketing (an indie game dev can afford) won't turn their product into a financial success unless people really like it. You're not going to be spending enough to even think about moving the needle.

The Architect could complete 100 games but not be financially successful. Maybe that's not their aim. But if it is...

The lesson is: make content people want / desire / buy.

This doesn't apply to those of us who didn't support the project, but those who did paid to get updates of the game.
Not getting them sucks big time(He's entitled to, but it sucks). He most definitely lost some supporters due to that.
They might even stop supporting because they thought he was being flaky.

I don't care either way, in fact I agree and disagree with both you and Avaron about different topics, but comparing the situation to artists that don't charge till their work is complete rubbed me the wrong way.
-------------------------------------------------
Did the game develop enough for it to be worth a playthrough? It sounds interesting. Just sad things got in the way of it being finished.

Just discovered this one and loved it so far, the mc is smoking! Hopefully we can get a hero that will pick this up and remake/continue it, would love to see more of her and the story, it was heading somewhere that seemed fun.
