Good afternoon,
This post is to address the current situation with the 1.8 update. What was not expected to become a 1.7 situation happened regardless. While I do understand the annoyance of the moving date, this is in no way done as a "backhand" or as a joke in no respecting the player base.
It was a mistake on our side to put an exact date, although is always treated as an estimate, I can see how people can find it annoying. We have always been against advising a specific set date for these same reasons, but it was given initially, even if incorrect, because everything was almost completed and to try and diminish the amount of users that would ask for specifics, which mind you, happened even when a set date was give (so it was a backfire that didn't even solve the main issue). The update and all preparations seemed fine and ready for this weekend, but things came out. I have tried making posts in regard to such delays every time one has happened, and I'll try for the Developer (yes, singular), to never give a set day in the future.
Now, while I agree on that take, we will not tolerate any kind of badmouthing the dev, or Arvus Games for that matter. It is ok to get annoyed, but it is NOT ok in any way saying the users are being ignored, or that the content is being "milked", there's nothing to milk, all content is free and available without any kind of subscription. In regard to bugs, the game has released this last couple times with less bugs than usual thanks to the testing done, 1.7 didn't have any game breaking ones outside of save collisions that happened to some users, and which is why no "lettered" version was done.
I will continue to answer questions on the forum, and you are free to express your concerns as long as is in a mannered and fair way.
With this said, dates will stay as open and no estimates nor "near dates" will be given.
Have a nice day.
P.S: Always check for the date here on itch, discord will NOT have a different answer.
