I never had much invested in this game. I thought it sounded cool, I wounding up paying something like $5 for the alpha on Steam. I did not follow the community at all, and I'm not familiar with the creators, so I don't want to explicitly defend them. But this is a very common occurrence with games on kickstarter. People vastly undervalue the cost of what it takes to make a game, including the people who make them. You have to know, putting down money for a game on kickstarter is akin to a donation. You can't expect to ever see it again. Even games that do come out, like Mighty No. 9, that kickstarter made almost $4 million dollars, came out more than a year late and it looks awful. Players and seasoned developers alike just have unrealistic expectations. That's why publishers have to make hard decisions that fans don't like.
I'm happy the game isn't cancelled, I would love to see it more complete. They would have to find another avenue of investment first, so, good luck with that.
No matter what, Monster Attack Team moonbase is totally canon now.
