Why don't you accept donations?

I think Kickstarter just wasn’t ever for you. It’s for folks like me who have no need to keep track of this stuff. I just want the thing to exist.

I backed a few Kickstarters where the creator just ran off with money and quit.

Their is a ton of pressure to over promise, take Code Hero.

I checked out the free demo and loved it enough to back it. Then the creator promised a bunch of infeasible things, like teaching you how to make an online game. The original goal , show off basic programming, was solid.

Right after the campaign ended, the project disappeared.

I'm working on my own game now. And while I might let people pay what they want for a demo of it, I'm not going to promise a bunch of stuff I can't realistically do in order to fundraise.
