I remember this game, could have been gold for years ago but it made a mistake in the right time.
Like usual it attracted a lot of players. But during that time, proper and advance 3d models within novels and sandbox started to growing out big time. This is one of the first that people decided that blueballs are obsolete which is nothing more than a bullsh*t milking method that many devs have abuse, they rapidly ditch the interest.
Shortly after the crisis I think the dev realize it, but it's too late and the update is kinda sloppy.
BUT nevertheless, I respected that they adapted to the piracy situation and still pull out the rest of the work for their supporters. So a bit of best wishes for the devs, but they will have to build hope themselves.
Still, out there some devs still think that their work is a rare catch and making their game playing like a pain with unnecessary problems such as : grinds in stupid way, remove skips, careless plans with bugs.
While some are giving away free game slowly and still got shit load of supporters, but some are not so fortunate because no one interesting in their game despite those are some pieces of work.
