I don't know how many of you have been following what has been going on with our Chloe, but she has not been doing very well at all.
She has some sort of metal poisoning from an accident a while ago that she could not afford to get surgery for and there have been quite a few attempts to get donations for it, the most recent which actually met the goal of 35k.
But, all of it was refunded because too many people just decided that it was a fraud without any factual backing behind the decision and she seemed to be getting worse and worse with her health at the time.

There's http://www.destructoid.com/dying-indie-developer-needs-your-donations-to-survive-251111.phtml for some info on the subject, but i am really really worried that she might not even be alive anymore since i have seen her actually say that she wont survive the night or something to that effect and she does not seem to be posting anywhere anymore or be generally online. Does anyone know that she is still alright?

Wow, not sure how to respond to this. After bad publicity like that, I wouldn't be surprised if she is just staying away from the internet now. I don't know if she is ill or not, but she's been incredibly helpful on here. I don't think she would lie about something like this. This is rather upsetting.

It's very saddening, regardless of which of the stories is true. Maybe we'll hear something soon, one way or another.

If it was a scam then she is certainly going for the long con, but I don't think it is.

Just read her project page here:
http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=2368&view=news&fid=5230

It was posted last year, and I had been following the project. You can see that she was referring to her sickness, but I didn't catch on and thought it was a joke of some sort.

yeah i did not understand stuff like that at first either since its not something that is usually so casually mentioned, but it did get me curious. I just think the whole doubting think makes it all really really bad for her, i figured we would all at least thankfully trust her 100%

There were some problems, and IGG decided to act in the most hasty and unethical way possible, by covering their asses and throwing me under the bus, which in turn caused me to attempt suicide.
I'm unfortunately still dying and still in an immense amount of pain. I wrote up a 4 page document that will be featured in an article in the next few days and distributing my medical records to trusted sources when I get them together.
I'm really upset that it's going to come to me having to reveal things about me that are no one else's business, and it breaks my heart to know that it's not going to make one lick of difference and it's probably going to cause more hurt than help. But it doesn't matter, I'm giving up and letting the clock run out, just felt the need to explain myself before I do.

Very, very sorry to hear the real news about it. To hear that an Internet-based company threw someone under the bus is, sadly, nothing new. I hope the news is spread far and wide regarding their business practices. I also think that I wouldn't be the only Klicker ready to avoid/boycott Indie Go Go in the future.

Best I can do is send good vibes your way. I assume that I have a rather uncommon view of the other details you've shared with us. But for what it's worth, whatever else comes to pass, rest assured I wish you nothing but the best. Please do keep us posted as you can, and make sure you take in some sunshine.

I've failed.

I've failed at everything I love, I've even failed at saving myself countless times, all because I'm a coward.

If it wasn't enough, everyone was quick to tell me that I had failed, as if no one else had bothered to tell me. Constantly barraging me over and over and over, as if I needed to know.

Just keep telling yourself that I'm just a drama queen, and I don't know what pain is. It hurts so much, and I'm tired of feeling it. I'm tired of being afraid of everything, I'm tired of wearing this mask that kills me everytime I take it off.

Everyone has to be so sure of themselves, and would rather subject someone to a lifetime of pain than to bend just a little bit.

I don't care anymore.

To the people I love and/or care about the most, Morgan, Mike, Katie, Jesse, Kathy, Jessica, Eddie, Indy, Kyle, Santino, Keone, Isaiah, Amari, Ayana, Jaylin, Elija, Jutta, Andrew, Dawn, AJ, Jake and Connor, it's not your fault, and you did what you could. I also want to say I love and care about you, my family. I also wanted to thank everyone who did try to support me over the past few months while recognizing that this is a private matter, and especially thank you to the ones who did not choose to help but still realized it was a private matter and didn't harass me or anyone else who chose to help.

And I wanted to say fuck you to my family, everyone who felt the need to say something nasty to me in this last month, all those people who are so sure they know what's going on with me, those doctors who never took the time to properly work with me, the ones who antagonized me for my situation, and those who just turned me away. I could only hope you feel bad for putting me in this situation, but odds are you won't learn a damn thing from any of this, and continue to hurt more and more people with your ignorance. You can't hurt me anymore.

I don't know what else to write. I'm tired of talking.

There was nothing she should have felt bad about but it was all she was made to, i guess everyone is real happy now about being petty and wanting to feel like they are right about something at any cost which seems to be the most important thing in their worlds? self-righteousness should not resolve issues, especially non-issues which stood in the way of a major call for help and seemed to fuck it up for good.

Ignoring, i can understand, no one is forced to help or donate or anything, but running against it like its an enemy based on the popularity of rumours, is like stabbing a man because the voices in ones head just kept telling him to *so it must be the right thing to do*.

She was even nice enough to return my money which i directly gave to her account as all the donation campaigns failed due to assholes scaling over useful people, something i figured would be the last thing on her mind right now. I hope her message does not mean what i think it means but the least thing she is, is a coward.

This is heartbreaking. For what it's worth, my thoughts are with you and hoping for a miracle to come your way.

I was already under the impression that she was dead, had a bit of a fit about it with that post too. I also avoided all news about it, and people too, who seem to feel the need to argue with me about it.
Death, and in such a way, felt like the unfairest outcome for her in the situation.

Now that i dared to take a look, knowing i might just need to watch more people berate her, i found http://stickskills.com/2013/05/13/report-homesick-dev-chloe-sagal-commits-suicide-on-twitch-tv/ which is dark news about it for this forum, but harshly true, though it does give me the hope that she might still be alive as slim as it might seem now.

I stopped actively following this thread at some point and wondered where she had disappeared earlier, as when i finally did check this out, there was her explanation on things but i did not have the time at the moment to post anything, i wanted to say something at least.

By the time i did find the time, some hours later, i noticed that suicide note of hers (which has been posted in other places too) and missed that chance and i was 100% sure she was gone.
I really really really don't want that to be the case, she must have been under tremendous pressure to attempt that.

I don't think she died. Her TDC account was last active 7 hours ago.

That said though, I hope she's ok. Obviously in a dark place.
