– No comic today. Today’s “Late Again” comes from Marek. Thanks!
– As some of you already know we’ve decided to cancel the Mermaid Hunters Kickstarter. I’m disappointed, but I appreciate everyone’s support. If you’d like to read more about it you can find our official update here.
Before look at the picture : YES ! I WILL BE ABLE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS CUTE GIRL ( And maybe about crabs and fishs )
After looking the picture : Why Jake , Why ;_; . You showed us a cute girl , we NEED to know more about her ;_; ….
If you mean the magician on the previous page, you can check out the Magical Land of Yeld RPG. She’s one of the default sample characters.
Who think like me ? ;_;
Ok
Since I hadn’t backed the project (I don’t play table-top RPGs) I can’t comment on Kickstarter, but I can give information about what happens after the project is cancelled. I backed the ill-fated Civitas Kickstarter 6 years ago and they cancelled it before the end. I can still view the project and even comment on the update posts because I’d backed it before it was cancelled.
Hopefully that will ease your mind a bit about making sure backers can see the message after the cancellation goes through.
I’ve learned that now and its good to know. I was worried that the project would just vanish and no one would now what happened. But… what I’m also learning now is that a lot of backers don’t read the updates (or maybe never see them). I’ve had a few different messages today from backers complaining that theres something wrong with the kickstarter. Thast just how it is, I guess!
A lot of people turn off Kickstarter update notifications (there seems to be no middle ground between “people who want lots of updates and complain if they don’t” and “people who don’t want to be spammed by lots of updates and complain if they do”). There’s also a huge number of people that hit the “Remind Me” button and don’t back projects until they get the 48-hour notification, causing the famous “48-Hour Rush”, when many projects get the majority of their backing. I’ve seen so many projects that looked like they’d fail miserably only to suddenly exceed goal by a huge margin due to said Rush. And for some reason a bewildering amount of people don’t back a project until it’s already reached its funding goal, like they don’t want to risk having a failed project on their “Backed Projects” list, as if that statistic even has any significance whatsoever.
This is all true. However, we’d need a 49 hour rush that was larger than our initial weekend to ht our goal, on top of sustaining our numbers over the course of 2 and a half weeks with no degradation. Neither was likely to happen in this case. Last minute pledges to projects that haven’t yet funded can often push them over the top, but they rarely come close to first weekend pledges. Its not unheard of, but its the next closest thing.
I’m sorry your project didnt get off the ground.
Thanks. We’ll try a different approach in the future.
I just wanted to mention that there appears to be an issue with the recent website page.
When I try to view the comment section or click Next> from here there is an error.
“403 Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /comic/jennys-mermaid-adventure-part-16/ on this server.”
Hmm… I’m unable to recreate the error, but I have seen it n the past with different pages. I’m honestly not sure what the cause is or how to fix it. You should be able to see the most recent page by clicking on teh banner at the top (The modest Medusa logo) or just visiting the main page. But of course that doesn’t fix the problem.
Thanks for letting me know. I still plan to hire someone for a complete site over hall as soon as I can afford it. In the meantime I’m kind of helpless.
If anyone else is experiencing this error please let me know. I’m keeping a list of problems.
