I based my deduction by analyzing weekly progress of previous and current development reports, im no one to say when they are going to release anything, but im optimistic.
It's not bad math, I'm not saying that.

It's taken 19 weeks to get to 85% and 80% finalized of art and code (working on another 5% in both). That falls in line with your prediction. But it's still false expectations, assuming linear progress, without taking into consideration unforeseen circumstances, etc. You may end up being right; others have been correct before.

The point is though, a measurable number of people read unofficial estimations and begin to believe them. In the cases when reality does not match unofficial estimations, those people don't get mad at the player who posted the estimation - but they blame the developer for breaking promises.

That is one of the reasons why personal estimations should remain just that. Personal and private. For the greater good.

People don't like waiting. They dislike waiting even more when they don't know how long they have to wait. And now you want to prohibit the time honored tradition of guessing how much time is left to wait!? What are you going to do, threaten to turn this game around?

I may not like the children in the back seat constantly asking "Are we there yet?" But I will defend their god-given right to ask it damnit!

Its more of a thing of phrasing... the above was written almost statement of fact. A simple 'my guess is x' would defuse that.

Because the idiots with no thumbs take one of us rando's guesses as fact, when it isn't met, they get upset, when they get upset, they not only post nonsense here, a given portion go on to harass the dev team for breaking a promise they never made in the first place.

Easiest way to counter most of that is to either a: keep your predictions private/amongst friends or b: use language that makes it clear you are guessing and are in no way some person with 'secret' knowledge. OR 3: Track down the idiots with no thumbs and drown them in bleach.

Unfortunately option 3 is impossible/illegal in most jurisdictions so option1 or 2 will have to do

no.... no more of that garbage.... full on fuck. if it doesnt happen by next update im never looking at this game again. b
Enjoy your explorations with other games.
It's been stated many times over the past 2 years or so that it won't happen until around v0.10 or so - starting well before your first appearance in this thread.

We won't be sad to see you go.

Progress Log - 2024/10/13

Another week, another 2 events in the books. I did not think I'd get as much done as I did this week with the amount of art needed but it got there and I stayed up late last night getting the busts plugged in to the coding of the giga-event so I could check that off, too.

Now, a few weeks of good progress but we are now at the last big-big event, it requires a lot of art - I don't know how much exactly as I haven't gotten to the roughs yet but it will be comparable to the big event I did awhile back, so I would say to not expect any visual progress next progress log as I get through this. If I do get through something, great, but I wanna set expectations properly and I don't see me getting through this thing in a single week.

Aside from digging into this monster of an event I'll be streaming the fantasy-themed doodles tomorrow and will have another Teaser on Wednesday, and that'll be it for the week. This event is gonna be a chore to get through but it'll be worth it at the end and after this the final event is a little one so should be smooth sailing from there. Have a good one y'all, I'll talk to ya later!
