Oh my! I didn't realize it has been that long... you know what?, I'll work double... NO! triple, and get an update by tomorrow.. NO! later today... NO! scratch that!... YESTERDAY!!. YES I WILL GO BACK IN TIME A MAKE THE WHOLE THING BEFORE IT EVEN EXISTED!!! THAT WAY PEOPLE WILL LOVE ME AGAIN...we have 04-27.. maybe its time for an update?
There's information everywhere... in this thread, on Patreon, and of course, the discord server, which I ALWAYS said yu guys check first.Can't really blame pace61 honestly, its been a damn long time. even with all the shit that happened involving patreon. Since his work is loved, you can't blame people for wanting updates. Or at least want some info about when the update is coming, because even his trello has been innactive for 2 months.
Also there being no info about when the new game its demo is releasing or how much progress the doc has made on it doesn't help the case.
Don't get me wrong, the doc can take all the time he wants. I'd rather have a nice update than a rushed one, but maybe some more news on the topic can be usefull.
This is not a matter of information not given, is a matter of patience, which most people, of course, don't have any.
I can't go around telling players to wait for a date I don't even have. In the past I had ideal dates that I gave and tried to accomplish, which most times I didn't, and backfired like hellfire. Now, I just don't give any, and release the things when they are ready. It is not optimal, and it clearly does not work. But I'm all out of ideas.
Now, I'm not putting myself in a high horse, but, making a game by yourself is NOT an easy task, even by using an engine as userfriendly as RPGM. People tend to forget that I'm a solo dev, I don't have a team of 5 to 8 people, and haven't reach the money milestone to hire help. And I'm not talking about making music or writing complementary scripts, I'm talking about secondary artists, and coders which I want to get on payroll, and not work for free, because, even If I'm grateful with some of your offers, I will need people I can rely on, because they are being paid.
Ok, I wrote more than I intended... I'm doing my best here, this is a rough patch, but once everything is settled, thing will go back to be as sweet and nasty as they used to... you just need to wait... Or don't, ultimately is your choice. But saying things like "Maybe is time for and update?" does not help at all.... AT ALL.
EDIT: Also also... as I always say: If you are a Patreon and you are unhappy with how things are turning out, then please... please stop pledging. And if you have the game for free... well... you know.
Also, I should clearify that I don't actually own a time machine.
