Please make the game open source

Since you didn't deliver the quality product you promised, why don't you let competent programmers and artists make the game into something much better?

No disrespect to you but wouldn't that be much fairer?

I just read another post by Railboy. He says he can't because he is using other packages, that wont allow it, unless he pays for opening them up.

What exactly does "other packages" mean? does that mean he paid for a license for certain assets that he can't share due to that license agreement?

Could be any .dll library file, maybe sound restrictions, could be the software package he used to make game has a limit of some sort due to having only the basic version instead of full version, ogg file player code, a math module....
Any one of a number of subsystems are used when making a game.

So basically if you want to release your game as open source, you have to check the license terms for every asset that you used and make sure that it stipulates that the use of that asset and/or its source code can be released into the public domain?

Pretty much. ^

Its possible dev could remove some stuff to release his own code, but anythiung he leased or bought from any other source usually have some kind of restrictions associated with it. Its basically IP(intellectual property) rights.

Gotcha, thanks for explaining that.

Let him pay for opening them up. He didn't earn our money building this garbage. At least with his claim of being a graphics artist, it should have been a crappy game that looked decent. Game looks like a pile of ♥♥♥♥.

I cant unserstand why the development logs have great graphics, and the actual game has rough low poly models and features? Also, did the backers ever get their items?

He did a switcheroo in the last update, and completely destroyed the game visually. Game looked cool before that.
