Dear Agashi, 

even if the game is cancelled, at least TELL US. Then at least the money can be given back to the backers. I just genuinely hope that nothing happened. And if you can't update, at least let someone else speak on your behalf, i.e. your husband or a friend. This is just so frustrating. The game should have been out A YEAR AGO.  But that's not even the main issue. Delays are bound to happen.  But people have given you their money. You have a RESPONSIBILTY to work and deliver, or at the very least KEEP UP COMMUNICATION between yourself and your customers, and make the delays known. You have to always have at least one way of communication open!! If kickstarter doesn't work, post updates here or on tumblr or wherever, just UPDATE. 

I am really looking forward to this game, the demo brought this hype i haven't had for a while and I hope things are alright. <3 

i agree

i sincerely hope things are okay with agashi. it is incredibly worrisome that she has just dropped off the face of the earth especially since there hasn't been any kind of update to indicate anything was wrong. however, it would be nice for some kind of communication from either her or somebody she trusts so that both the kickstarter backers and people here are aware of what's happening. even if it was a message to say that life happened and the game is on hiatus, then at least we'd know.

for me its the whole not knowing that is so frustrating. i do not know if i should be waiting for a finished product or if i should be cutting my losses and assuming we're never getting the game. i'm a kickstarter backer so i've invested a decent amount of money into the game and i would like nothing more than for her to a) be okay and b) complete the game that we're all waiting for.

While it's kind of everyone to be supporting Agashi so, it's completely irresponsibly to abandon projects that people have invested in- it reflects poorly not only on the creator (which makes people less likely to support them in the future- good for Agashi or "Lee Almonte" for not having much connected to those names/aliases I suppose), but unfortunately also on all indie media. Referring to the kickstarter page , several people have already noted that this is the last project they'll invest in. People need to feel confident supporting independent artists and creators via kickstarter, and similar platforms, because it's a seriously fantastic resource, but the more its abused, the more people will only be willing to support games they'll know they'll get- i.e. big gaming companies, and letting them be the only people to produce games would be terrible. As hiyamelle said, backers should at least be informed Agashi can't fulfill their project- that way a compromise could be met between backers and creator. Despite the demo illustrating promising potential, I'm sorely disappointing about this turn of events. Ghosting backers after raising $11,553 could basically be seen as theft actually considering that Agashi entered into a contract with every single backer to complete the project once the game was successfully funded, and any single backer is currently in a position to pursue legal action under section 4 of the terms of use. :/
