Captain's Log, day 78945
Well Well...well...Here we are ladies and gentlemen.
The promised update,
the Shangri-la of all updates to come before it.
It's finally-
...Wait sorry sorry, is this the right script?
Let me check the files.
*Ruffled paper sounds*
Ahem! Uhh, after the
announcement of the announcement!
Finally, it is set in stone, the truth, the hopes of a thread all hinging on-
What is this? Someone's mixed up the scripts,
'The adventures of loose philosophy preaching Couch Skeleton and Joshua Tree, 1# edition?'
Right right...
moving on,
After literally years, we're finally going to see the fruits of Gumdrops labor. (Supposedly).
And if it's anything like this...
Ladies & gentlemen, after 1 year and 3 months, the "anim previews" xD :
me thinks this ship is in for some stormy weather.
While I'll still reserve judgement till the update finally comes out,
to say the production has been mired in controversy would barely scratch the surface.
Allegations and bullshit aside though, the cards will supposedly be laid out on the table soon, and I'm still left wondering the same thought~
Will this update be able to meet the expectation on quality for such a long delay?
While I wish I could say that as time gone on I have faith in the production, well, I don't.
As some of you probably remember, my fabled mystical interview with Gumdrops happened many moons ago now, and I still remain as puzzled as ever about what exactly was said (and I was there!)
There are talks of a huge expanding team, yet they may as well be illusive ghosts because they seem near non-existent.
Gumdrops talks of expansions and plans etc etc but has arguably the most hugely divided fanbase we've seen, ranging from fanatically supportive to feverish hatred.
His fans have become far too invested, the sunk-fallacy cost no doubt heavily at play I imagine.
While the other side find this weird circus that's developed ever the more bemusing, (though some of you do take it too far just enjoy the train-wreck and pull up some popcorn dudes).
His Discord has become increasingly Gestapo-esque, with only the pretense of democracy and 'freedom of expression.' Cross the line or challenge too far, and the hammer will no doubt will come down, so much for openness and transparency.
What I still find amusing though, is how this game is supposedly 'for us.' This game is not for us, or any audience. This game has clearly become at best, a vanity project, at worst a money spinner.
Despite all the 'news', really, there still remains little of substance to talk about.
Only a dev who has continued to let things spiral ever more out of control, now desperately trying to bring it all in together and produce gold.
is he an emperor without clothes? Or will he truly deliver the goods? I guess this update will finally give us the answer.
P.S, a new champion has appeared I see.
God you guys are so butthurt,claiming hes money laundering and everything else,he can do as he pleases,you all don't pay him,I still do, and his game will realease when he wants it to,not when you want it to,sorry he makes more than you stop being jealous haters
Let's zoom in on that a sec...
you all don't pay him, I still do.
Money well spent friend, money well spent.
This is your Captain,
signing off.
