Well over 100 lost patreons from there high, I wonder how much longer the rest of them will last on broken promises.
I dropped mine when there was talk of merging month 1. With the complication the other merge had, it didn't took a genius to figure out it'll be hell. I am not sure we'll see something out before the end of the year.
The current system is untennable, the merge isn't just smashing them all together, but fixing the bugs they can find, fixing broken mechanics, finalizing many mechanics, and making a solid foundation of code to build up on afterwards. Admittedly its been a trainwreck to get it done, to the point I have currently given up on defending it until I see real deadlines to give to people. However, when it does complete it will be a much more fluid experience and will cause a lot less confusion overall.
Sad was an great game but this has now gone way beyond sketchiness. No one believes it would take them this long to merge the game and even if it did, time to come up with an new plan was 6 months ago but nothing....
Didn't he say that after the shitshow from the week 1 merge ?
You're clearly missing a very pivotal point here, you confuse a young adult who's developing a v/n for a college graduate who's doing this as a job/career after professional experience.
a year ago or months ago you weren't willing to accept that devs are showing incompetence all you did most of the time were trying to distract the player base by doing various polls about what people would want to have in a game which hasn't seen a proper update for like 1.5 years it's good to be positive and hope for the best but in a situation like this when devs are making false promises and what not it's clearly stupidity and masochism at best blue cat could easily give icestor a run for his money in terms of scummy devs practices and scamming the patrons this game could have been a good high rated game on this site but instead turned into a scamming fuck fest I hope blue cat enjoy his Japan trip the money for which he scammed of patrons.
It's barely been more than a year since the last story update. It's been less than a year since the last update because the holiday specials have always been a thing and they've always taken the place of regular updates. And maybe, just maybe, Skummy was sick of people bitching day in and day out about their exxagerated claims of delays and trying to put something positive into the thread. I'm pretty tired of the merge being delayed too but that doesn't mean I think the thread needs 100+ pages of dumbasses calling one of the largest games on this site a scam.
I will not defend BlueCat, if I were developing a game and ran into a similar snag I would have paused contributions and explained to the rest of the development team why that was happening. However, mismanagement is not a scam. Beyond that, the way all of these crowd funding things work is you are giving money to a person for them to do what they do, but you are not investing, you are donating. That is a huge difference. If you invest in something, you are not guaranteed a return but there are legal recourses when the thing you invested in was a scam. If you donate, the money is gone unless the crowd funding website wants to undo the transactions and they only do that when there is no product whatsoever and they are getting bad press. If people want to support this game, that's on them. Complaining here won't change anything; it won't dislodge patrons or make an update happen faster. I find the whole thing very sad.
That post belongs at the top of OP. Too bad I can only click "like" once.
Yeah, I have posted about the meaning of "patron" until my fingers are sore. Some get it, so don't.
