Reminder: Even your closest friends aren't going to care about your game until you have a working prototype ready

I am quite receptive of my friends' advice, because I actually know them. I don't know you, and you've already made false assumptions when analyzing my situation, so that turned me off to your advice.

Case in point: I said nothing about using KS for marketing and even said it would be used to fund artwork, yet you assumed I think KS is a marketing platform and then lectured me on that point.

As another commenter noted, this post was a manifesto that might encourage people who have had to own the project every step of the way and perhaps wish they had more involvement from their friends and family. It was not meant to be a detailed analysis of how people have or haven't supported my own endeavor, because in some ways they have and in other ways they haven't.

I love stratego and Magic, so I'd be interested in learning more about your game. Where can I do that?
