Why does he or anyone else have to explain why they are charging what they are charging.
Amiga users have a habit of throwing money at everybody who claims he'll do something "for the Amiga".
Amiten, be honest. In your case, that would mean putting the following facts on the table:
- "I have started half a dozen game projects, none of them ever reached 'playable preview' status"
- "I described myself as an AMOS novice just recently"
- "I never asked for money before"
- "I need or want money this time, because (a), (b) and (c). I need the amount specified because (d) and (e)"
Kickstarter was meant for projects that couldn't be funded otherwise - not to make a quick buck without any effort and only worry about delivering product afterwards. Since Amiten's game - if it ever gets completed - will be a spare time project, there's no reason to collect funds
now. Just create the game, put it in a nice box and sell it to collectors. Viddi did that - with a
Backbone game - and it went so well he made a sequel and distributed it the same way.
