We are still planning. But currently we're fully concentrated on MBD, so we can't give any exact dates of Dirty Pool's next update.
- Thread starter Dole
- Start date
Okay, well just letting you know, I was a patron of yours for this game. MBD is a good game, but this is the one I personally enjoyed more. You lost me as a patron because of the lack of updates. Pretty bummed that there is no update in the near future. I get you have to prioritize, and for you guys your priority is MBD, but really you probably should have finished DP before starting a new project. Just a little bit of constructive criticism.
The main problem with DP is that we don't have enough resources to keep working on it, i.e. we have just one person working on all renders and if that's enough with MBD where we can release small updates every one to two months, it'll be an entirely different case with DP since it has so many different branches that it'd take a tremendous amount of time to release even a small update. So yeah, we'll resume working on DP once we have enough resources on our hands to be able to deliver steady updates.

that's the problem of multibranching games, it becomes so big (branchwise) that updating it takes ages and finding right branch on wt takes a while too.
It says this game is on hold, does anyone know when or if pirot king is going to restart working on this?

johnelros, I'm not complaining about memory yet, and I remember perfectly well what was said. If the author has changed his mind, then this is his right, which, by the way, I will be glad of.

I'm glad for your excellent memory, but care to share any proof of that?

johnelros, if two years ago, I knew that proof would be required, then, of course, I would have kept it. In the end, each of us can stand by his own opinion.

Well, my opinion is based on facts:

Guys, we have some extremely important news for your today. Let's not beat around the bush and get to it!
Since DP has so many different paths and branches to follow which means that we spend a lot of resources to make an update, including computing resources and man hours, we decided to put DP on pause till Autumn. (Probably till September)! But that doesn't mean that the project is dead, no, don't even think about it. Right now we're working on a new linear game in DP universe (it means that all the characters currently present in DP will be present in that game as well in one way or another). Naturally, our dear patrons won't lose any bonuses. As a matter of fact, we're planning to rework the reward system and some current goals . As for our fans who have been with us from the start and helped the project in any way they could, for them we will make an attached message in the main menu, special thanks section and a private "Panteon" with unique and hot pics in it. Besides, to show you that we're working hard to deliver new content for you, we will keep posting news about development process a few times a week (at the moment we have 3 female characters ready out of 5 planned in 1 version). In addition to all that, we will update our patreon page as well, we aim to make it more user-friendly. I want to conclude this post with the ~ release date: New game in a DP universe will be released in July!
And yours?Same stuff already see hundred of times with other " developers"... Sorry that people is not able to learn from other experiences ....

We noticed that a lot of you are disappointed with our decision to put Dirty Pool on hold. We understand that you feel angry and disappointed because the game you liked won't get any updates in the near future. You're worried that we will abandon that game for good, just like it happened to so many other games. Unfortunately, we've faced some difficulties that prevented us from making new updates for Dirty Pool. However, we still plan to finish it in the future. Just give our new game a chance and tell us what you honestly think about it in the comments section. Your opinion will help us improve both MBD and DP once we return to work on it. We wish to make your gaming experience more fun and diverse. We would also like to express our gratitude to those who financially support us and to those who have stuck with us while we were developing our new game. It'd have been a lot harder if it weren't for all of you. Thank you!

I have already said that if the author has decided to revive a closed game, then he has the right to do so. Apparently, the lack of finances forces us to reconsider previous decisions.
