RAW was NEVER going to be able to build their game with the money they were asking, and apparently Kickstarter felt the same! Let me know in the comments below what you think, and be sure to Follow my Twitch! www.twitch.tv/BigfryTV

[@sslim29205]

It's because Kickstarter watched KZbin videos calling the devs scammers.

[@Th1200]

Everyone who is into game development knows that those games are very expensive (> M) mostly because of the high amount of different content and progression. There are also two big technical problems: networking with high player counts and fps optimisation. Impossible for a small unknown indie team and a clusterfuck of assets.

[@KingDoogan]

@@Th1200 We can pay $50-$150 per asset and module but HEY give us more money like maybe $200k so we can release our game on steam for $99. lol You know it cost's nothing to make a game from scratch right? Unity has the most basic networking system out there, even easier with FREE assets. The most expensive thing would be running the servers, that's about it. $50 a month WOWEEE. pretty easy to pay once you actually release something because you won't need it till then.

[@Oh-Jay52]

[@DanielFrost79]

When i first saw the footage of RAW i got interested. But after a few days i found this channel BigFry which i got hooked on partly because included in the title was "RAW". First i was like "Oookaaay????", "What the hell is going on?". When i browsed the net shortly after seing this video of yours i could not find anything on Killer Whale Games. Which i thought was odd. I liked the look and the idea of this 'RAW' game so thought about backing them up. But your video sent me some much needed red flags (Which i am thankful for) to hold my money with backing them up. I could have made a big mistake there. But as anyone into these kinda scam companies: "If something seems to be to good to be true.. it probably is to good to be true" Thanks for saving me my money man.

Just want to let you know that they posted a new comment on their discord since this video came out. So it's Daria here. At the moment we are very upset about this situation and we need time to understand how to proceed it, but in any case the first task is to release the gameplay for you. We will also try to send screenshots and report what is being done. Of course we could have done this before, but each of our updates would look like 07/15/2019 - "Alex is writing a code", 07/16/2019 - "Alex is writing a code". You think that you worked only an hour, but it turns out it's been a whole day. We understand all skepticism, its fully justified, but the two of them cannot give everything at once. Considering the current situation we will certainly try to give more information. What about Alex said on Kickstarter - sorry he shouldn't, he was very upset about whats happening and emotions took over, we're really sorry about that, by the way he should send some screenshots of what he does. You can say these are just words again, but! we made mistakes and these mistakes cost us 200K and we will not allow it again. Best regards

[@johnkim5718]

Let's be real. There is absolutely no way two developers can make a game of this scale, with only 200k. You'd need millions just to get actual gameplay mechanics in, and millions more for the netcode and other such infrastructure for inventory system, etc. All your "gameplay trailers" are prescripted scenes, with practically 95% of the assets and code for the scene bought from asset stores. You don't even have a working prototype. Either you are incredibly dumb for thinking you can make a game of this scale with 2 people and a couple hundred thousand dollars, or you're scamming people for their money. I guess the latter.

Pcgamesn website reports: "July 15, 2019 RAW was suspended because the developers “would need to raise additional funds outside of Kickstarter to complete the game.”" “Our rules and guidelines ask that creators seek to raise the amount of money needed to bring a project to completion and fulfill all rewards,” a Kickstarter representative tells us. “This creator stated in an update that they would need to raise additional funds outside of Kickstarter to complete the game. We require projects to be honest and clearly presented, and this project failed to meet that standard.” - This is likely in reference to an FAQ from the developers, where they say “Yes, our game can not be made for 70K, but nobody said that this money is all that we have. We have other sources of funding too.”

Kickstarter: why is the FBI here?

This would probably be possible if like every Big game Company came together but would still take a while I wish this would happen that game would be so cool

I think it was a smart move by Kickstarter, you said they lose money and they technically do. But they didnt damage there reputation (which is way more important). If it turns out not to be a scam Kickstarter can always apologize knowing they did it for the benefit of the community, and if it is a scam then then provided reliable security to their community. In either situation kickstarter wins and can be viewed as a reliable company who puts its consumers first.

I didn't even know that Kickstarter just shut things down like that. Good for them, that's awesome, my respect for Kickstarter definitely went up.

Project was suspended because devs were planning on asking for more money from secondary source, which is against ks eula. Bigfry just made shit up.
