this game dead?
so is this game dead or what?
You could try to look back a few pages, as this has been discussed frequently and at length. The short version is there will either be a merged version before the end of the year, or Blue Cat will announce what the game will look like going forward with a plan that does not include a merge.

i hope blue cat merges all weeks
They will eventually. This is supposed to be one game after all, not a bunch of smaller games. I think the intended merges are at 6 months, then the final one at a year. The current merge troubles may have an effect what's happening with the six month merge, but as long as the game doesn't end prematurely, that year one merge probably has to happen. Cause at that point, that's just the complete game releasing.

Those who remain are those who have faith, most of the support already left by now, the game will continue one way or another. These things happen, so pleas everyone stop thinking the game is dead, and actually read the posts before commenting-its not that hard. I will supply some kind of progression update after the end of November, because its thanksgiving time and my ass is too busy to focus on this right now due to holiday season crap.

Just ignore the ignorant comments, enjoy your thanksgiving, trying to please and/or repeat yourself to people who only want to troll or complain will cause burnout. Come on, I doubt school bus drivers for preschoolers on a sugar high that are going on a field trip have to repeat that they are almost there as many times as skummy has to tell people who are either trolls, children, or are too lazy to actually read a thread that the best guess is by the end of the year. Back on topic because I am pretty sure I speak for a lot of us when I say that patience is a virtue... I am looking forward to seeing the first merge when it is completed. PS. How was my post off topic and why was my post removed even if it was to split hairs while all of the snarky comments aren't considered off topic?

I think you can temper the excitement. After 3.5 years they haven't managed to release month 1 yet. We'll have humans on Mars still waiting for this game to be completed.
They were overly ambitious in regards to the timeframe, for sure, but I don't think this is one of those games you're particularly excited to get to the end of. You just enjoy the stream on content. Assuming they get back on track, of course.

52 weeks content?! jesus kinda scary to plan ad promise something like that.
Especially for your first game. EC is one of my favourite games on here, but they really should have started with something smaller. Hell, starting with a prequel with just the cast members from the flashbacks would have been a solid first game.

It's not quite as daunting as it sounds, but yeah they should have started smaller for a first game. With the plan to move to a more sandbox style they can release one or two weeks with the same story content as the 2 days they've been releasing. And then to supplement that there will be optional side content that makes use of the sandbox. Assuming there are no more major delays after this merge that's still at least 3 more years worth of updates. But compared to the ~15 years it would take if they only released 2 days a month that's a huge difference.

I think you may be overestimating how drastic a change the sandbox will bring. It's still mostly going to be as linear as it has been. It's just we're given some leeway in how we approach the content after school.
