Well, I am getting pretty good at predicting how these guys work. No surprise he missed quite a few of his own deadlines. People need to stop paying for this, its like with "AAA" games, need to send a message to these guys since money is what they will most definitely respond to said supporters of said game.
Mulan has been talking about this rework since end of last year, has made very little progress thus far, either he doesn't have his priorities in check, or he's looking for a payout with little to no effort at all. Does not help the fact that hes taking other people's artwork on top of it all. Probably hit a dead end or is creatively bankrupt. All I can say is he should do the right thing and not charge people for October and November. IF he can somehow manage to actually get the update out it should be free for all.
More and more people I see that make these kinds of games are turning out to be like P&P; they make Lily of the Valley. These guys have very good start-up with constant communication and updates to their games, but as soon as they garner enough support or higher, they either disappear, make endless excuses, or the updates are to far and in between and are small.
Also doesn't help that they pry on the gullible people that believe their excuses they spew......its especially tricky when they say something along the lines of someone being in the hospital/death/etc. At this point a lot of these guys have "valid" excuses, unfortunately I have heard one too many that I wonder how in the world do these creators have more bad luck then anyone else? Seems odd when not just Mulan, but other creators on here I see take advantage of people's empathy....
If you have been on these forums for awhile you probably know of Yummytiger....say what you will of him, but at least he was up front of procrastinating, and never charged people for vaporware....
