in 2008, ellipsis started a donation drive to create an interactive game with tempts fate, where fans could create their own goblin character and she would help them run it through an adventure. afterwards she decided to postpone the idea until it could be re-launched as a self-contained game. in july 2013 a further donation drive was funded through kickstarter raising an additional $177,850 towards the game. as of december 2014, after numerous revisions of the game, ellipsis claimed that evertide games "has run away with all the money". in june 2015, ellipsis made several allusions on her forums that a further donation drive may be necessary to attempt recovery of funds from evertide games.
