If the game stays up on steam then I'd say it's definitely the original developer trying to make a quick buck while avoiding any heat he would get from his fanbase for not finishing his game. DPC got his scammers storefronts shut down pretty quickly by comparison
Yeah same i'm pretty happy the dev is alright but i'm also very very disappointed he didn't say anything for these last 12 months it took a scammer just for us to know he was alright and finally say anything he could have atleast added thanks you all for your support and say some personal things happened and he couldn't continue making the game anymore i mean he must have seen all the posts talking he might be dead or something bad must have happened to him he couldn't even bother saying if he's ok or not coming back 12 months just like that without saying anything and being just like hey guys that's a scam don't buy it and just leaving without saying anything else feels like a slap in the face to people that suported him and played his game.Well, I just learned about the latest developments earlier today, a couple of days after it happened.
I wasn't expecting it at all, I won't lie
I'm really, really, really glad that the dev let everyone know he's alright, or at least he's still among the living. (Honestly, I had zero doubts that he was still alive, but some people were not so sure, so I'm happy for their peace of mind. I commend some people for their vivid imagination, though.)
I'm really, really, really pissed that he couldn't bring himself to drop a line during the past 12 months saying that he was OK; really disappointed that it took a fraudster to try and steal his work for him to show up and write a few words.
There was no need to give any reasons as to why he left, no need to give any explanations regarding whether or not he'd come back, no need to open up to anyone but to whoever he chose. But it's obvious that he could still read this site and his discord, and seeing that dozens of people were mourning his departure and missing the game that he created while spreading all kinds of grim speculations about his fate, I believe the most sensible (and even humane) reaction would have been to write a short message to reassure the fans and thank them for their past support.
I'm very, very disappointed. It's a very weird feeling I'm having right now
P.S. Please, don't start again; this changes nothing. The game will not come back.
I get what you guys are saying but how exactly would it benefit him to come in here and say that's not me on Steam? Chances are that may have stopped people who were considering buying it there. It would have been better to stay gone and not speak up. Or if that actually was him he could have said that IS me and if it sells on Steam I'll continue the game. Then people might go buy it. There were several better ways to try scamming people.
Same. Back in January I was having dreams that the game was back in development and was eventually able to just give up any expectations that it would come back. I’m trying not to get my hopes up again, but as that saying goes, hope is frail but it’s hard to kill.And here i am once again checking and hoping for good news
Please comeback........ We want AOA back
That's because most of those muppets are adolescent dipshits
Did you paste something into some online random sentence generator ?
This is not charity. You donate expecting something, that the game gets regular updates even if you don't buy a finished product. Furthermore creators are accountable for respecting their promises tied to the tier perks (like a wallpaper or whatever).
A good person behind the development would , of course , but they dont have to.
MY FUCKING GOD. So the news is true. You're back?!
There is no Ch 6. The game is gone for good, he obviously has other priorities.
Glad to see you're okay, this is my favorite game, please tell me you'll be back
