Early access game arcane worlds

So saw this game on there called arcane worlds and it looked promising had mixed reviews on steam but thought i would read some of them and check the forums and it almost seems like a catch 22 situation.

From what i can gather it is only being done by one or two people and they released it on early access in january and been fairly regular with updates on the game and then  due to not quite getting enough sales to make much money then put up a indie gogo campaign to speed up the development.

Unfortunately it failed  (though i have to say i only heard about the game through just browsing on steam) so i would have assumed perhaps would try again say on kickstarter or try again but spread the word more.

But nope seems like was working on another game called level up! and the priority is finishing that and releasing that on steam. Now that is the part that puzzles me for people who have bought the game arcane worlds i bet they would be a little bit annoyed. But also from a business point of view.Would people buy your second game if the first game is not finished ? (As with what happened with UBER entertainment) and also i think the first game looks a lot better.

In the end i have to say at least he was being upfront with things and i guess if making a much simpler second game and getting the money for that to help with finishing the first that makes sense but i wonder what other people would think ?
