RPGM Completed Arenus [v1.1G] [Arvus Games]

[Thatguy]

Until a actual game update drops, the Abandonned tag sticks. Have had many devs pop in for a small update and go cold for years about a project. I believe that 100%, they won't do that but I'm not F95 and I don't make the rules.

Kaliyo just left a public update to Arenus:

You must be registered to see the links

Well, they revealed a bunch of features, but as far as potential release date it's still just Soon™
Still, better than nothing at least.

 

[moonblackhen]

I'll believe it when I see it. When it comes to this game that seems to be the best course of action.

You do know the main guy had gotten hurt and went into surgery. you can go to their patreon and read all about whats going on it's a public info drop.

Very convenient, right? Too bad if he's telling the truth, but they've already spent too much time delaying the game to believe almost everything they say.

 

[Aniimo]

Next time, probably in November, they'll claim to be adding a Christmas event, which will inevitably delay the release till 2023.

Ok mister smart guy you try to make a game and keep to the dead line. I'd rather wait for a done game than a buggy game. Also all three of their game have been vastly different from one another that each one comes with new hurdles to over come, One is a survival RPGM game, another a pure RPGM, and this one a management RPGM all of them try something new. Plus it's a ten person crew trying to make these games and they all have personal live to deal with as well so maybe put yourself in their shoes before you judge them on a slow development time.

That's not how this works. When you go to a restaurant and are forced to wait for several hours for your food you have every right to complain about the delay, regardless of whether or not you can do a better job cooking the food on time.

The game is two YEARS late, with barely any communication from the team. I would be a lot more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if they could be bothered to at least provide regular updates. But as things stand now:
I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't mind waiting, what matters to me is that they lie to me, and let me tell you that they have already lied too many times

i really dont see how that justified the 'abandoned' tag. this tag is for games that are de facto not being worked on anymore. as shitty as it is that these idiots cant keep a deadline, they are still working on the game. the tag is definitionally incorrect. i get the frustraition, i understand people are mad and want to vent or punish them in whatever small way they can, but this shit is petty. misusing the purpose of site mechanics to punish a slow developer aint it chief.

iirc the abandoned tag goes on any game that isn't "finished" or "on-hold" and has gone 18 months without an update. Which means it very much applies to Arenus.

I like how he snaps another "ready for arenus" post but still holds the date of release for himself

Well many here asked for the date to be "coming soon" or "TBA" and now that's also an issue? It is preferable to not have a date to avoid any angering delay, wouldn't you agree?

I would already be happy to encounter more devs who put their energy into work, not announcing some unrealistic shit and going into defense mode afterwards.

Those people are rare and love material for life.

That means jack shit. That's only going to be relative to the person that says it. We aren't mind-readers. if you are afraid of releasing a date because of the past backlash you may have received, all that indicates to me is that you've failed to deliver on your past promises.

It would be a entirely different story for Arenus if we didn't have these insane amounts of lapses in time with radio silence. It seems from the consumer standpoint/patron is that Kaliyo & CO. is more so interested in the financial side of things. It's fucking ridiculous that we've only gotten updates around the time that seemed to coincide with the time of the studio losing patrons. Milking the community for all it's worth and delaying a game just for the sake of it, is nothing new.

I don't mind delays. I do mind however, being kept in the dark about a project that I am paying my hard earned money for. I don't appreciate the radio silence. Don't give me that bull crap about "They are a game development company, they've got to make money and pay their employees." That's granted. That however, doesn't excuse the predatory practice that continues to run rampant.

5 years. 5 years. Let that sink in. I played the DEMO, I really enjoyed this shit. I just can't continue to sink money into something and get nothing in return. Arenus is the whole reason that brought me to Kaliyo games, everything else they make is dogshit in comparison that what I saw in the demo.

It's really hard to support a project where you constantly get the short end of the stick. I'll take my funds somewhere to a dev that actually deserves it. If you're looking for a decent NSFW game with great art and great community to support, check out Aurelia by Mirthal and Team.

They give out weekly updates, take suggestions, interact with the community, release builds every month and actually have a roadmap and are looking pretty sound for ending the game development/full release pretty soon this year.

This is the model that Arenus needs to follow. We need transparency and communication. Without that, this project is going to continued to be stigmatized. Rightfully so. For now, Arenus is just a broken promise and great dream.

Why the fuck do you keep coming back just to show your anger. Move onto a different game like you said and don't look back why is it so hard to get into people skulls that if you hate something you don't come back to IT!

I didn't really get the impression he was angry bruh, that feels more like being tired of BS or constant rehyping for years of a game you liked playing while seeking some form of positive change from the devs at the same time.
+ You only type several paragraph long responses like this by caring about the game. (If he didn't then why bother typing this)

I was replying to Experimental. That's typically how responses work.

Edit: There's a "Ignore Thread" button if you can't mentally handle responses.
