The
Steam page for
Nekro is no longer selling the early access version of this action/RPG. The
explanation for what's going on seems to be in a user review apparently from one
of the project's creators, who outlines problems that may not get sorted out:
I am 50% owner of darkForge games LLC and I am responsible for creating
all the visual art you have come to know as Nekro. Below is an update of what
the state of the game and company is in. I am posting this so that you – the
loyal fans and community can rally behind me to get this game completed and
receive all your physical rewards. There is no doubt this post, and all else I
make will be deleted so please propagate and keep this for future reference:
What Happened:
Nekro was originally supposed to be a 1-1.5 year development cycle after the
Kickstarter campaign. While blame can be placed on a great many things we never
actually had funding other than the Kickstarter and our personal finances of
which I spent every penny I had. So we decided to rush to Early Access to help
fund the completion of the game.
Once we got funding rolling in I heard the same story year after year, Scott
would say “I can't do it, I need another year”. This happened for 2 years. Bear
in mind Scott was taking 100% of all revenue even though we have a contract that
explicitly states he can only take 50%. His reasoning was - “this is the only
way we are going to finish the game”. So I obliged him, to the projects
detriment. The last 5 months of 2015 however it became glaringly obvious what
was happening. Scott was taking 100% of the revenue still but he stopped working
on the game, he became too comfortable making money with no ambition to
continue. I told him. “you cannot take funds from the game unless you are
working on it!” This sent Scott into an uproar and he blocked me out of every
account there is; the website, the Kickstarter, the steam account, and finally
he took the last funds and shut-down the LLC bank account. To add insult to
injury I was forced to pay over $1,000 of my own money for the 2015 California
tax License as well as paying 50% of the taxes from the 2015 revenue of which
Scott that he took 100% for his own personal benefit. Since Scott has blocked me
from contacting him in any way.
The Future of Nekro:
There is no future unless I get ownership of darkFroge LLC and Nekro. I have
most of the physical rewards and am dying to ship them. The game is almost
complete as it is - so I would be able to finish the rest of the game in a short
period of time after the transfer. What I ask of you is be very loud and demand
that Scott hands over the assets and accounts to the game, and I promise I will
not only complete the game but also give funds for those who worked on the game
and were never paid.
