This game didn't peak my interest at all. First of all, I'm not familiar with the comic, prior games, or the plot; the characters mentioned mean absolutely nothing to me as a prospective and new player. Second, the game isn't visually represented at all; there is absolutely nothing in this topic (or their site) that popped. Third, the videos were short, obscure, and offered very little in terms of a real incentive to play the game. Last, but not least, they're implying or explicitly stating comparatives with other games; what if I am unfamiliar with that series or I dislike the games mentioned?

[Helladen]

Seems like a cheap way to rip people off. Expecting that much money for practically an unknown franchise is a little naive.

I would show more about your project and aim for more realistic goals. I would try using Kickstarter, too.

That's not his/her game. They're doing nothing but advertising it. As far as Kickstarter goes, what Dee posted is exactly what's on their Kickstarter page.

[Helladen]

I figured they didn't use Kickstarter since they offered refunds. I heard that Kickstarter kept all the money unless the goal was met. I also did not see a link to their Kickstarter page, and even on their website it went directly to Paypal.

[Diee]

Ohh!?

Is assumed here that this is my game? 

If so then I'm sorry, but it's just like Budweiser has already said.

I just wanted people to the game may already know, to point out that a third part will appear.

Part 1 & 2 were made with the RPGmaker in 2001 by one person and now wants the inventor of this play, which is known mainly in Germany to bring out a third part to appear, however, not only in German but also in English. And since he is now no longer alone but also makes his people to pay for it, is now needed of course money for the production.

As I said, it's **not** my game, I just wanted to make you aware. 

I use Google Translate.

For Kickstarter, refunds are at the discretion of the developer if the project never comes to fruition. I went back and actually looked at their website, and it certainly does look like they're doing their own form of "Crowdfunding." I'm assuming they're doing this because they immediately receive the funds and they can extend the allotted funding time (120 days, really? Kickstarter maxes at what? 45?). Anyway. Completely uninterested.

Even less interested now that this is a sequel to an RPG Maker title.. What is less than uninterested?

[Helladen]

Engines are what you make of them. Even though this project is uninteresting, a great developer could make a solid game with RPG Maker.

[Murdoc]

The graphics and style of the Crimson Realms version is spectacular. Best of luck on this project!
