This 2012 successful Kickstarter for a rogue-like procedurally generated open world game was far too ambitious and it has caught up to this sole developer. It made $34,000, nearly seven times the original goal, but that seems to have run out and developer David Hagar has tried to explain it over on the Cult: Awakening forums. He places the blame on himself by saying, "Hagar as he explained: "I believe what ended up coming to me after taxes, fees, and payments to contractors was approximately $14,500."
