being a programmer is not hard to find a job lol i always find a job even if i am fired from one i get 2nd day to the next one with higher pay that the last one because of the exp :) from what i read he only needs money for a new pc so he dont pay with his own money so sorry.
1500 euros is alot with that kind of money u buy a very powerful pc.

I'm not justifying his reasons for asking for money. I'm simply stating that being Greenlit is not synonymous with being funded. I could slap together a concept, throw it on Greenlight and be Greenlit but that doesn't mean I have the funds to finish it. And whether it's easy or not to get a job as a programmer, he still has to divide his time between a real job and developing this game. While a number of indie developers make games in their free time while holding one or more full time jobs, it's no walk in the park.

"Seen what he has overcome"
Loosing a job and having a shitty computer is not even an obstacle in my life, to me it's more like a pothole on the road . Can't help but good luck for the raising money/getting an other job and finishing his game.

The gofundme page doesnt really have any info about the kind of specs needed in the PC build, or any justification as to why specifically £1500 is needed (how much for living costs and are you confident new job can be found soon? etc). Also, the pledge is set at £10 for a copy of the current game build, but direct from the website it is only $10 (actually quite a big difference!)
I would probably stick in a few quid if this was next month as I've just got a new job but wont be paid until then, but with the vagueness of the gofundme I can understand why people would be reluctant to donate.

Just updated the gofundme,
I think i may just take out a loan tbh, I spent all of last night, till not to long ago with the pc apart and another tech tryna help. (current pc is probably worth £800) Spent more than that on replacement parts :(
I dont wanna but i dont see any other option.

Yeah getting a loan is a dangerous option, especially as if you dont have a job they will probably ask for your soul to secure it.
My suggestion to you is to just halt development until you get some money coming in again. Dedicate your time to finding a job that is right for you, the game can wait a month or so. Just get your data backed up, and then let it wait for your life to get back on track.

Yeah that is what I thought about doing, I had hoped I could avoid that though, Don't want to disappoint those following the game.
I could even just release as early access, But well i dont wanna put up another unfinished game to the already huge pile on steam, so thats a definate no.
UPDATED: Yeh im not gunna get a loan, im taking down the gofundme also as i just dont feel comfortable with it, Im not out yet though and Thanks for the comments here people.

If the game really does have some "legs," don't give up on it. You might have to put it on the back burner for a while, but quality still sells in today's market.
