He thought he could just put his project on Kickstarter, then walk away and it would collect enough money for him? He even went on a month-long vacation in the middle of it?
Gee, can't imagine why that didn't work.
Thanks for the reply. It took me two weeks to get the material ready (demo, video, content) and continued the effort during the funding period to coordinate with blogs and forums. But yeah I definitely overestimated my ability to do more for the project while having my own wedding at the same time. So I agree, I probably should have waited until after the wedding to start the project, and a longer funding period might have been a better idea for this project as well.
