There are only few ways that a sandbox would work well and I hope the devs take notes from the good and the bad ones. And I don't think a complex sandbox would do good for this, it should be kept simple.
But I think the fact a dev come up here and talking to crying people on a proper pirate site is worrysome. Game made a bad impression so there is nothing more to talk unless it's about the game's update. I would just focus on the work and hope for the best.
This one remind me of the game The Patriarch from TheGary and NSFW Space ( lost excellent devs ...)
But unlike them this one still got a lots of eyes on. Despite it's negative but it still something, if this turn out to be good then the tide might turn - MIGHT. And if it's bad then nothing will change.
