Kickstarter Project’s $85,000 Ran Out A Long Time Ago, Says Zoe Quinn

In October of 2016 Zoe Quinn and Chuck Tingle managed to secure $85,448 to make a live-action FMV game. In August of 2018 Chuck Tingle claimed he had no involvement with the game, and that it was all in the hands of Zoe Quinn.

Despite not fulfilling the Kickstarter duties, and having no answer for where the $85,000 went for a project backed by loyal followers, the big wigs in the gaming industry rolled out their congratulations to Quinn for working with Heart Machine, unfazed by the fact that the backers’ money is still unaccounted for.

This included God of War creative director at Santa Monica Studios, Cory Barlog…

As well as World of Warcraft designer at Blizzard Entertainment, Chris Morris…

And Octodad creator, Phil Tibitoski…

I attempted to reach out to Quinn to find out where the money had been used or how far into development the FMV game is, but she has me blocked on Twitter.
