A Statement Regarding The Worlds of Huck Gee Kickstarter
In 2024, I launched The Worlds of Huck Gee: Skullhead, Gold Life and Beyond on Kickstarter. The project ultimately failed, and I did not deliver what I promised to many of its backers. I take responsibility for that.
The Kickstarter was not a scam, and I did not set out to take anyone's money without delivering the project. It was a project that I failed to complete.
I made mistakes in budgeting, project management, and communication. When the tariff increase hit, I was unprepared for its impact and unable to adapt. The project became financially unsustainable, the available funds were exhausted, and I did not have the resources to complete fulfillment or refund the project's backers.
I have explored numerous possibilities to raise additional funds or refund backers, and I have sought advice from experienced business advisors, but I have been unable to find a viable solution within my means.
I understand why people are angry and disappointed by that outcome. I also understand that some people have reached conclusions about me and my intentions that I cannot change. I am not going to argue with those people or repeatedly defend my intentions.
In October 2025, I published a final Kickstarter update acknowledging the project's failure, explaining what happened, and providing a breakdown of the project's finances. That update remains my account of what happened and is available below for anyone who wants the fuller context.
