CANCELLED!!Many of you are probably wondering why I have canceled this project. After A LOT of thought over the past week, it was decided that trying to gain funding for artwork on a very niche project such as this is not the best way to proceed. Looking at similar projects within the industry, it was decided that it will be better to complete this project without interior artwork and release it as a free download.
I can't speak for other game designers, but for myself, the reward is in hearing others having fun playing your stuff. Nobody goes into game design to make money. As the saying goes, "the best way to end up with a million dollars as a game designer is to start with two."
That is why I feel the best course of action at this time is to release a free version, sans art (probably released in the next couple of months). Who knows, maybe down the road a version with artwork and available for hard copy will be available.
I wanted to thank every one of you who supported this and for your words of encouragement. That really does mean a lot.
Thanks again!
