Kickstarter JRPG Project Phoenix by Creative Intelligence Arts is continuing its adventure on Kickstarter with a total of $719,369 gathered between Kickstarter itself and pledges via PayPal, and the developer shared another work-in-progress piece of artwork.
“I do want to finish the game. I do want to, I even want to, I never said this in an interview before, but I even want to refund their money because we didn’t keep the timeline.” Yura explains.
Kickstarter backers can be a negative bunch, but it seems they reserve most of their piss and vinegar for Japanese developers. Why is that?
Joanna Mueller writes: "In the end, CIA's increased scope only served to drive backers further away. Players were not impressed when the team finally released a vertical cut of the new 3D gameworld. CIA was reluctant to start over after investing so much money into their 3D models."
