idk what the forget he's talking about, sorry i don't know about every stuffty game that borrows art assets from devianart and holds donations to have the funds to make a DLC character.

Yeah, fighting games aren't for everyone. Let's replace that with "game i don't like"
-borrows art assets from deviantart
Yup, you can totally find hand drawn layered 2d art frames ready to use in your game. They provide nice 2d lighting and everything.
-hold donations to have the funds to make a DLC character
Because they obviously don't have enough money. They're trying to develop it to be cross-platform at the same time as designing a new character. They're also offering many donation perks and offering this character/update for free on all platforms. Even with consoles asking for a huge fee for things over a certain file size.
This also doesn't negate the fact that you confused a donation pool for a new character with an OP making his own game, and refused to google the game beforehand regardless, or even click the indiegogo link which also talks about the game.
