I mean seriously.. I understand that some of you are very informative and thanks for that.
But don't insult people who know a thing or two about software dev. or prototyping.
This is just terrible PR. I love your product. I WANT to trust you.
But I do not trust you.
This project is not a matter of "when". I think it's a matter of "if".
What I understand from such silence is as follows:
"We'll let you know IF this thing actually works."
And yes if you announce sth, you are expected to deliver.
We have bought your game, and future promises were a big part of your marketing back then.
These being said, you guys are trying to tackle a goliath here, and I applaud your courage for it.
Please keep up the good work, and just keep us in the loop.
Cheers
Don't throw in bucks for a WIP if you cannot/do not want to "sacrifice" them in case something happens which prevents a release at all.
I supported it by buying the everything up to v3.5 version.
Would I love to see these somewhat more supported?
Sure; still annoys me a tiny bit to see all the v2 stuff being announced to be added for the (game-mechanic wise) superior v3.5. Would love to play them with these mechanics. Or see Monica added for the X-Mas ride. Or the ride added for both as a dungeon option.
Would I love to see the new version release or monthly updates/reports?
Sure again. Till now this is genuine new 3d work & physical interaction. And its (again till now) a real game; not just moving from romping scene to romping scene. So doh, totally looking forward to it.
But in all cases I feel I got my money worth of fun with whats already there. Will a new version even get released? Maybe. If it does I will surly get it & very likely donate some bucks more (unless it comes with some kind of surprise MTX schemes or even worse semi/perma-online connected subscription poop; than I'll spend them on pizza for angry stress eating). If it does not... oh dear, I'll survive.
