Hello I am funder,
Hello I am funder,
One of the issues I have always had with this project is these long explanations that don't give a clear answer. Only when the guy asked you for a clearer date do you say the months you expect. That should have been said in the article it self ( January/February 2018) as that was what the article was suppose to answer. Also, this doesn't give confidence for the next project you will ask funding for. I get that you are a small team and that it takes time, but the way it is being explained or the "funny" videos that you make has become a thing of annoyance due to there not being clarity.
When I say clarity, if you simply said summer 2018, I would have still been ok with it, but the guy still had to ask to get clarity after I sat and read that long explanation. Even answering the direct question the standard thing of explaining something else (the progress of things) was done again.
He had a direct question. That question was when. The answer was as simple as writing: The goal is for January/February 2018. That was it. Even the long article didn't answer that question even-though that was the premise in the intro of the article.
I like the idea of the project, but the expectations are being mismanaged. Also the seriousness of the delay doesn't see to be coming thru in the videos that are being posted on the site (the schetches that are done). Just hope this changes things.
