Quote: "Does anybody know if they still need backing or investment for GG?"
I would imagine any business needs backing whenever possible, but GG is released on Steam now. So no, not through crowd funding anyway. You could buy several copies of GG or get AGK etc. Game Guru went ahead because of someone backing it (the kickstarter failed). TGC raised cash via their own pledge scheme afterwards as well (many including myself could not use kickstarter even though we tried to, due to payment terms).
I'm sure they would be open to suggestions. I think many, especially people like myself who paid $100 for GG initially and are still waiting for it to be useable would not really fancy investing more cash, other than media purchases. I could be wrong of course. Anyone who has purchased on Steam, though have had a bargain in comparison. Still not finished, but the Steam price is a whole lot cheaper!
