I think it's quite common for people within organisations to feel compromised by the difference between the organisations stated position and its actual position. As you'll be aware Ras there is a strong feeling in the community that peter and others mislead the community in order to raise funding for a mobile development he didn't fully disclose. Even in his own words he has talked about the temptation to say anything to get a kickstarter funded. I'm giving Sam the benefit of the doubt and assuming he didn't have the moral flexibility required to keep saying a duck wasn't a duck.

Maybe this train of thought would b better served in its own topic however I do have a candid hypothetical for you Fabs. If alpha v1.0 had been available (as with all kickstarters from now it should be) do you think the funding would have been successful? Personally I don't think so.

I don't know who even half the indie devs I've backed for projects are. I didn't back Godus because of 22Cans. You're a faceless entity at the end of the day like Rocksteady and other devs. I backed (stupidly) because Peter was the figurehead. If you had wanted to sell as 22Cans alone, Peter shouldn't have been everywhere, his studio or no

Alpha 1, wasn't that the Version from June 2013? I think funding would have been almost impossible, with what we have seen there. Even the Kickstarter Prototype looked much more like a good god game than Alpha 1.

Yourself and most of the others here are that type of backer. If we'd pitched with a game demo, this forum wouldn't be populated by people who back things without any proof that we have the team to do it. Even if everyone on here said that they wouldn't have backed of they had seen the alpha build first, that doesn't follow logically.

That the game has gone a different direction, is a different matter. I was asked my opinion on whether we would have been funded. I think if we had either said "we're making this" and shown the alpha, or said "we're making something, we don't know what" and shown nothing but proof of previous work, then we would have been funded too. Basically, I think Peter promised something, stuff happened, Peter changed direction a bit, while trying to maintain as close to the original promise as possible, and has so far, made something that is not either what he wanted, or what he promised.

Hopefully over the coming months, we can rectify at least what was promised.

I hope so too, Fabs. I hope so too, although to be perfectly honest, at this point I'm not expecting Godus to be able to make a handful of Peters more grandiose promises on much more than the tip of a technicality. 

I'll give him a prod.
