Spent about $200000 on developing a real-time massive multiplayer online strategy game just to run out of money then fail our Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/breadboard/terra-mango-...

We already had 4000+ people sign up to play once it hit beta, and even had local news cover us: https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/terra-mango-could-be-the-n...

We vastly underestimated our ability to market the game and to influence people, even our own friends.

We should have shipped a somewhat slow and buggy beta version to those 4000 people who signed up to beta test.

Don't let perfectionism get in the way of shipping.

Or maybe we just had a bad idea
