Swimming is hard
It won't happen.
To sum my experience with Indiegogo: I can't start a campaign from my country, Hungary because Indiegogo updated their policy recently. An email was sent to me by Indiegogo on August 5 saying that I should launch the campagin before August 12. As it was summer I didn't check my email in that period so I missed the deadline. I find this "one week notice" ridiculous. I spent a huge ammount of time preparing the campagin itself, not to mention my business plan was from the start of the development that I make Ep1 free on Steam so I could launch the campaign of Ep2 on Indiegogo. I wrote an email to the Indiegogo support about their mishandled situation and all I got was a sample copypaste letter. I feel they made a mistake, and they didn't even acknowledge it when I raised their attention. It's really sad.
I can't recommend Indeigogo to anyone now. They might change something else for you in a blink of an eye. Use Kickstarter instead if you can. Or anything else.
So I guess that's it for now. I really appreciate every support so far, but I can't cross the river right now. The ship (Indiegogo) I bought a ticket for changed it's seats at the last minute forbidding Hungarian passangers (among other nations) to get aboard.
The other side is still there though. I might find an other way to cross the river in the future. One can never know for sure, maybe you guys will hear from Episode 2 in the future!
Best whishes for everyone!
