Code Hero: A Game That Teaches You To Make Games
7,459 Backers
$170,954 pledged of $100,000 goal
So this got pledged almost a year ago and at this point they have not only reached any of their initial goals. Actually, the guy just wasted every single dime and the backers are pretty much never going to get their rewards.
Here's a pretty much complete story from stiq of joy:

that contains this solid quote:
How does the game look like now?
That's pretty much what you can get for 200K. Of course, if you would have done some backstudy you would have known that you are throwing your money away. He guy who is spearheading this, Alex Peake, previously failed to deliver these:
Took the money, shut down the site, no "fighting corsets" were ever delivered. The current stand is that he plans to deliver on the corsets after Code Hero is done. Which is pretty much guaranteed to be never.
And people are not happy. At all. Which isn't all that surprising, but there are hundreds of negative comments in here:

What are your "favorites"?
Some rules: "All of them" is a valid answer but not until every single one of them has failed and Tropes in Videogames counts too but it's easier to just to link the NeoGAF thread.
