I found this hidden gem and thought the codexians would like to know about this.
You don't have to do anything. The game has been funded. There are stretch goals.

An example of placeholder background art I want to replace so it matches the custom monster art better.
STORY
'Dargon Quest: The Tower of Doom' follows the adventure of Ashe, a silent protagonist who arrives on Dargon Island to conquer the Tower of Dargons, a mysterious structure that promises grand riches to those who can navigate its dungeon.
On Ashe's first adventure into the dungeon he is accompanied by Carlous, a self-styled legendary hero who wields a mysterious talking sword. Climbing the Tower gets Ashe involved in an ancient plot to take over the world.
Carlous points out the obvious..
STRETCH GOALS
I only need about $500 from this project to commission the remaining original artwork and license more original battle music to finish the game as I envision it, but on the chances I raise more than the goal here's what I'd do with the money:
$1,000 - Add more monsters (requires more art).
$2,000 - Add a 20 floor bonus dungeon for the post-game (requires new art).
$5,000 - Add an animated opening movie to the title screen (anime style!).
I would be really surprised if I raised more than $5,000 so if the goal exceeds that I will have to figure out what the stretch goals would be. Probably something involving a boxed copy of the game with a USB stick.

Originally I created Dargon Quest as a silly little 10 minute game in RPG Maker VX Ace to prove to my younger brother that it wasn't hard to make video games. I then posted a video of him trying to beat the game to my YouTube channel and it got a pretty positive response from viewers.
Around the same time, someone at Square-Enix screwed up and posted the iOS port of Dragon Quest as 'Dargon Quest' (source). This spawned an internet meme around the time I was working on this game. I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be funny if there was a real game called Dargon Quest that sought to parody some of the elements of the Dragon Quest series?" and thinking this was such a good idea, I made changes to my game to emphasis this aspect.
