It looks like you just switched back to the old template. Somehow, it is worse.
I think you're getting fucked over by your service provider, as those aren't professional templates. Not in the least.

And they need more work. Sorry, but it's the truth.
Quote:And another thing, I doubt any of you could help me in the animation process since you more than likely have no experience in the program I use. I only know as much as I do because I've been working at it for years to get better at it already.
It doesn't take intimate knowledge of the program you use to notice that Wogglebug clips through things, or that sometimes there are shadows and sometimes there aren't, or that Wogglebug slides from place to place.
It seems like you simply want a pat on the back along with free money. Neither are going to happen. I stand by my earlier criticism. For as much work as you may have put into this so far, it's no where near close enough to generate money.
Now, I'm not saying that you should give up. It's just that you need to really, really work on making this whole thing a professional effort. That means:
A professional looking website.
A professionally made trailer (which, if you're going the crowdfunding route, should include footage of you describing the project, as well as talking about the risks and what you'll do to address them).
Giving the public a clear idea of what this is outside of your particular fancy.
All that said, going by your reactions on Amazon to the criticism of your books and your defensiveness here, I doubt you'll accept what I and the others have told you.
