overread: I think the thing is when projects are in the investment funding stage there is always a lot of rejection. I suspect many have to appeal to many potential investors just to get the few that they need to back a project.
With crowd sourcing the rules change a little; you've got to have investment capital initially or at least the capacity to advertise your product extensively to the market. I also suspect that the time of year has a lot to do with things (I would suspect expecting more failed or rocky ground fundraisers over the next month or two as Christmas drains peoples pockets).

tarohilt: Plus it is misleading to call it a point and click adventure game when it has turn based RPG combat.

ET3D: Quest for Glory is usually considered an adventure game, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch to call this an adventure game too.

tarohilt: Project Eternity should be called an adventure game too by that loose definition...

ET3D: Well, if you're saying that you've never considered Quest for Glory an adventure game, that's okay. I think that most people would consider a game with a 2D adventure style art and adventure style puzzles an adventure game, even if it has extra (especially optional) elements. Project Eternity doesn't fall into this definition in any way.
