I backed this game on Kickstarter waaay back when it was first announced at like the lowest tier.
I remember even then it was being presented as a student project and I knew we'd never see it but I was feeling generous.
I still don't think we'll ever see this game made, but I don't think it's Ill intent. Just passionate students who didn't really know what they were doing.
Maybe eventually it will release but it won't be what they are targeting. I see the game being heavily scaled back
