DYHALTO'S PROFILE

Don't set your $$ expectations too high. Talk to some people who've done it. From what I hear, indie game making as a career choice is a poor way to go.

You didn't read the page, did you?

Yeah, I did, and I'll explain to you what I saw.

The potential therapy, a cancer-busting virus, is currently sitting in a freezer in Sweden – but it can’t be tested for lack of just £2million.

Awww... £2 million... is that all?
I repeat, £2 million is petty change in the macro world, particularly when you consider the amount of money that already goes towards cancer via other fundraisers and donation jars.
But saying "just" £2 million infers that we're almost there, and you can give it the last push by opening your wallet. Less people would donate if it were £10 million.

Without the money, the research will cease and the virus will be thrown away, placing in jeopardy a therapy that could significantly extend the lives of thousands of NET cancer sufferers.

"thrown away"? What? Like, into the garbage can?
This idiotic claim is there to impart a sense of urgency. Act now, think later.

If this anti-cancer virus is so good why has nobody funded it?

Big business won’t stump up the £2million needed to fund the first stage of clinical trials, because there is no money to be made.

"Big business" : Antagonist established. Cue villainous tale of vile capitalist pigs pursuing profit over the greater good.
Forget the existence of universities, governments, foundations, trusts, high net worth private individuals, and other not-for-profit enterprise. Big business says no, so now it's up to the most uninformed, emotionally vulnerable demographic : Everybody on the Internet.

Experts across the world acknowledge that this anti-cancer virus is cutting edge

"Expert" is not quantifiable. Just like how people in TV ads who wear white coats and are covered with stethoscopes and tongue depressorizers and other doctor-type shit are now official doctors, anybody who speaks on a subject can be recognized as an "expert", depending on whose doing the recognizing.

Steve Jobs said: ‘Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful…that's what matters to me.’

Obligatory quote from someone who recently fell victim to the targeted ailment. The more famous and well received that person is, the better. People love to adopt the motifs of their heroes.

It’s just us, the scientists, the virus and you.

Because pitching a well-made case to informed people in the medical/scientific field is hard work.
And you're all just a bunch of derps. Only medial persuasion is necessary.


Now, I don't know if this is an official scam, or a bunch of well-meaning kids being duped by scientists who want to keep their otherwise-defunct jobs.
Either way, if this research were worth half a pinch of salt, there would be no shortage of people in the actual field assisting with fundraising. Online donations would be handled in less of a campaign way, and more of a Donate button on the sidebar way.

I see auto-shadowing is giving some of your staircases a hard time.
Still, it's obvious that you know how to map :o

Foreshadow much?
