Why'd I stopped backing "Love Series REGENERATE - Visual Novel"?

Hi guys,

Some of you guys may have noticed a banner on this blog encouraging you to support AKISEKAI's new kickstarter, "Love Series REGENERATE - Visual Novel".   Contrary to that banner which I have taken down, today, I'm here to warn you that that cute, frilly visual novel that some of us may have already backed may actually be a scam!  Here's why I think this:

How I discovered the possibility of it being a scam

AKISEKAI just seems more suspicious when we see the artist's reply via twitter

So apparently AKISEKAI don't consider you a backer is you only back the $1 tier...

Source: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/367314396/love-series-regenerate-a-romance-visual-novel/comments

From my perspective, by addressing the commenter's $1 pledge and saying that he/she is not a backer because of it is quite rude considering that there 4 or 5 other backers who haven't said a word against them, but backed the $1 tier.  Does this mean their not backer's either?  Honestly, this comment just makes AKISEKAI seem money hungry.

... and apparently they believe the mountains of testimonies against them are the commenter's lies?!

Source: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/367314396/love-series-regenerate-a-romance-visual-novel/comments

Rather than say that the commenter is lying, shouldn't they address the claims and evidence?  Saying that someone is "lying" is not a valid argument, especially when there is mountain of evidence against you.  

More evidence if you read all the tweets that tag their deleted twitter page

AKISEKAI'S RESPONSE

Ummmm....could you please address the mountain of evidence?

After seeing this altercation, other anecdotes, external opinions and AKISEKAI's questionable responses, I could not help but be suspicious of AKISEKAI and so I also decided to stop backing "Love Series REGENERATE - Visual Novel", I mean it's better to be safe than sorry, right?  This is my own personal decision, so please don't think that I'm trying to urge you guys to stop backing this project.  I just think that current and potential backers should know a little about this conundrum before backing this project and possibly regretting it in the future.

Please note that I have no affiliation whatsoever with the parties involved in this dilemma.  I'm also neither the commenter nor  twitterer in the images above, I'm just following this story by observing tweets and project's kickstarter page.  Therefore, any opinionated input aside from the tweets and comments above are my own

[REVIEW] Wings of Justice ENGLISH DEMO (Version 1)

Producer: BunnyPudding & Co
Systems: Linux, Mac, Windows
Kickstarter Page:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/310167701/wings-of-justice
Demo Link:
 http://bunnypuddingandco.itch.io/wingsofjustice (ENGLISH)
http://bunnypuddingandco.itch.io/wojfr (FRANÇAIS)

Plot: "The "Wings of Justice" was a famous elite police squad who earned  their reputation by dismantling gangs, solving unexplicable cases and investigating on some political big fishes... They were well known for making little fuss of the rules and doing everything possible for justice to be served! But, someday, they disappeared and, now, strange stories surrounds their tragic endings...
Play as the last member of the "Wings", carry on their legacy by fighting crimes and facing your own troubled past for the sake of lady Justice!"

If you guys haven't noticed yet, I'm a mystery geek and I can't resist playing mystery games, watching mystery shows or reading mystery novels, so I thought I might as well do a review for the demo of "Wings of Justice".  

Pros thus far

• Good design (i.e. the user interface was interactive and reminded me of the one from the Ace Attorney series and Detective Conan & Kindaichi Case Files: Chance Encounter of 2 Great Detectives and the characters' sprites were pretty good)
• The English in the game was understandable
• The background music used matches the atmosphere of the scenes they are used for
• Pretty good background animation
• The story is not dry and incorporates some humour 
• The mysterious introduction of "Bloodhound" AKA Paper Tych was drew my attention to the story
• Loved the Inspector Gadget references (they reminded me of my primary school days)

Cons thus far

• Some grammatical and spelling errors which detract from the story quality (i.e. some words were spelt in the French spelling (e.g. adress instead of address and victime instead of victim)
• The wording of some of the sentences and phrases were a bit stiff and felt a bit odd in some instances (i.e. sometimes the words used were a bit too proper for the circumstance); needs to use more everyday language (i.e. residence/home/house instead of domicile)
• Bugs (i.e. sometimes, when Tych is jotting down notes, the banner text appears in French text and sometimes, when I click on the text linked on the case folder the text lined to it also appears in French)
• The plot for the demo doesn't really stand out, but maybe that's because it's just a demo
• Inconsistency with the spelling of Charly/Charlie's name

[Notice] YAY! Voltage Entertainment USA Inc. finally made a bug fix update for Labyrinth of Astoria!

Hey guys,

Like the title of this post says, Voltage Entertainment USA Inc. finally made a bug fix update for Labyrinth of Astoria and I'm happy to say that every thing is working smoothly :) !  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be returning to my gaming!

[Notice] Labyrinths of Astoria Compatibility Issues

Hey guys,

Some of you who are playing "Labyrinths of Astoria" may be experiencing sudden mid-game crashes.  I am too, so I decided to run an experiment to find the root of the problem.

For my experiment, I tried running the applicaton on my brother's iPad which is running ios 8.6 (1GB of free data) and my own which was running ios 10 and was later updated to ios 10.4 (5GB of free data).  I discovered that the application crashed when I ran it on ios 10+, but worked smoothly on ios 8.6, so in other words the application seems to have an ios 10+ compatibility issue.  

Unfortunately, I went on a route-buying spree as soon as this app was released and haven't been able to play any of the routes properly, because they crash on my iPad and my brother has work to do on his iPad, so I'm giving you ios 10+ guys a prior warning so you don't end up like me.
