Well despite your tepid response, I have gone ahead and started a crowd-funding campaign.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/star-explorers-space/x/17324659#/
Ideally, if the target is met, I will be able to focus on completing this game much sooner than the original target of May 2018, specifically before 2018 arrives. I also hope to add a few new features, including a crafting system, streamlining the UI, include a greater variety of items and gameplay options and hopefully squashing all the remaining bugs.
In no way should this be interpreted as saying I will not complete the game unless Crowd Funding is successful. I have been working on this game for quite some time with no financial support, and I have every intention of finishing it. Reality dictates that this will have to happen at a slower pace without the funding though. I do still anticipate a full release by May without the funding.
For everyone here, you have already purchased the game. There is nothing more for you to do. I do not want anyone to pay extra, or to think that the game will not be completed without crowd funding. I plan to continue working on Star Explorers, with or without money, until it is done. Crowd funding will simply make this happen sooner than later, as it will free up my schedule.
I would, however, appreciate if anyone wants to share the campaign with their friends. Word of mouth is not something easy to find. Any vote of confidence from existing players is gold as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you all for your continued support!
