So why he needs money ? he can't live with a non finished game... perhaps he has paid programmers to program tools and stuff, without money he can't py their job ... ?
So this is not some game done by some free association only ?

That was their job. For heavens sake, they have hobbies, a family... Not everyone is 17, can live at home and kill the nights making games instead of love.

No, what's missing is fucking money. God, you can't live from love and thoughts alone, is that really so hard to understand?

I didn't had the point.
Ok so this game making was it's main revenue ?
Who knows, he can do little jobs or have a real job without telling you ... and that's what i hope.

Caus betting a lot on making a game without some solid investors and money provision, indeed you better find some job aside for living.
Even some AAA games titles have been abandonned, for money problems or strategy change, even in big companies.

Yes make a game won't garantie you to win all ypu have invested in the game.

I'm sure we will see this little indie game finished and ready to buy some day wink

This is called "entrepreneurial risk".
Even with "solid investors" you can go down the drain, if unforeseen things happen.

There´s a german comedian who has established the following advice and I need to give it to you in a loose translation:

"If you have once again absolutely no clue ( grin ) what you´re talking about - just shut the fuck up!"
