Sadly I won't blame him for abandoning the game. This community is pretty dreadful, complaining about communication while they themselves communicate like spoiled children.
You realize its only that way because the original outline was update every two months, and now this has taken over a year, and it took him 6 months to even explain he's pretty much remaking the whole game. Dude sucks at giving progress reports. You give what you get and if you suck at communicating doen't expect your audience to pick up your slack
Hello there,
While true that communications have not been great, please refrain from giving misinformation.
1. Is not over a year, last content update was in February.
2. There was an initial release date which was missed but some sneak peeks had already been given. Then the release was changed to this year for the amount of content that was going to be in it, which was advised since then.
It is not a matter of good or bad. It is about the endless waiting. I am sure many people check the website every day, monitor the developer's social media, and are met with nothing but disappointment every single day. I certainly am.
Consider the decision made by the developer and the consequences of that decision. As information has already been shared that this person decided to remake the game from scratch, it sounds completely unreasonable and extremely strange, especially given that many people enjoyed the game just the way it was and simply wanted more content. On top of that, this person (I do not have the exact details) did not even consult their audience and went underground for half a year, feeding us update screenshots every couple of months! Screenshots, bro! For a Unity game, half a year with no updates is absolute madness.
I repeat, it is not my place to judge since I am not a developer, but I am speaking as a fan of the game, and it is very sad to watch all of this. Still, I am 100% sure I will buy it on Steam. If I live that long :)
Is not an endless waiting, this is not the only game to have a date set for a year. The game has gone through reworks but is not made from the ground up, the looks changed, the game loop didn't. Again, communication could have been better but saying it went underground for half a year is not true, about the teasers, what's wrong with screenshots, is a unity game, not a renpy visual novel, this is a project done by a single person from a less than indie studio (around 5 people). Even big companies release screenshots and some videos from not in game visuals( which is not done here since there is no "cinematic presentations".
