Have no choice but to cancel the project that you crowdfunded? Sometimes it can’t be helped, but make sure you don’t make matters worse when you make that announcement.

On this episode of the Game|Life podcast, we discuss the latest overambitious gaming Kickstarter that’s gone down the tubes — Yogventures, which was crowdfunded for $567,665 in May 2012, a few months after Double Fine’s smash success with what would become Broken Age. We look at how the failure of the Kickstarter was communicated to fans, compared to other problematic Kickstarter games.

Other topics: The Maze of Games (a Kickstarter success), Captain Toad for Wii U.
