I suppose he's one of those who won't help the developers now but will download cra*ked copy later anyway...Neo-ST

Wow you must be omniscient to know me so well :roll:

Choosing not to sink money into a developer that put out a hobbled game and then carelessly abandoned it is, outside of the world of rabid fandom, a rational decision. If the game does come to fruition and is decent, I'd have no trouble buying it. I'm just not going to put money down on a gamble that they'll do a better job with this one than they did on the last.

If they fixed the first game, showing that they both a) care about the IP and quality of their work and b) have the technical ability to put out a competent release, then I would feel more confident about putting money towards a sequel. Releasing a fix for Nexus 1 (and modernizing a bit - native widescreen support, etc) would honestly be a good move for them. It shouldn't take much time since there's no content production and it would renew interest in a sequel - which it seems they desperately need.

Sorry for having a dissenting opinion.

Not to be a jerk, but I wouldn't contribute on principle due to Nexus 1 never being fixed. I realize the publisher probably didn't fund support, but there's nothing that stopped the developer from putting out unofficial patches if they really cared about the IP or their reptuation.

Nexus 1 left me angrier than pretty much any game I've played due to a number of crashes that occur if don't perform mission actions in exactly the intended order. It's not even obscure or hard to duplicate stuff; in one instance it's as simple as destroying ship A before ship B.

I enjoyed what I played of Nexus before running into game breaking bugs, but quite simply they haven't earned the faith I would need to put in them to fund a quality sequel. If they wanted to earn that faith, they could do that by being awesome and fixing the original game first.
