Quoted from PeterG:In a business you get burned sometimes. I think ZY and Applejuice did a great job, kept on beleiving in the project although they knew there was no money to pay. Sometimes you do a project not just for the cold hard cash. Again ZY is doing fine and his art is amazing and many machines he did put him on the map forever in this scene. Just write some things of as goodwill/marketing, call it something. If you do not want to happen that to you, get paid upfront. I do not thinkk we need a fund to help these guys through the winter. Maybe ZY has the art himself. Would be great to have some translite made for framing, I would buy one from him.
If zombieyeti has Magic Girl artwork and copyright I would love to buy a translite! Heck the artwork is so pretty on this game I would buy anything he would like to sign and sell. Payment or not he should still be proud of how amazing his artwork on this game is!
