I think they were referring to what Skummy said specifically, but that is a good summary of events so far. A minor correction though. BC didn't say he wouldn't go with MTL, he's just pussyfooting about due to some hang ups about using it. And yeah, the merge is still being worked on by Latecomer, but is no longer the soul focus of the team anymore.
I guess only most of the plot is planned out, not all of it. Which is good, as it means he's not locking himself into plot threads if it doesn't work. That's what happened with Game of Thrones.
Yeah thank you. I got his meaning shortly after I posted it, kept it up because my laughter would be the same in either context.
Because it is not abandoned in the most technical of sense's. The developer posts regular (Paywalled) "Status Updates" and is active somewhat in his own discord. However make no mistake the posts are a bunch of claptrap that is incredibly uninformative and his excuses are never backed up by evidence or tangible proof of work, never the less by the rules of this site his project is still considered to be in active development but again only in the most technical of senses. Anyone with two braincells to put together knows that this title needs some kind of warning placed over it to notify people of its perpetual purgatory.
I can't be certain, but I'm assuming he's asleep still, due to him not being on Discord. I get the impression he's a night owl.
One would think after going well over a year with no update he would've written ahead since that's his job regardless of if days prior has been released yet or not. You would think given that amount of time passing, he would've completed writing week 4 by now.
I mean, we're not given him a chance. The majority of us are pirating this, and will continue to do so even if he dropped the merge and Day 22+23 right now. For alot of people the trust has died up. Our only real investment is time, and even your ranting is as much of an investment as everyone else in that regard.
That's not really saying much and your logic is flawed.
I'm not ranting. I'm calling bluecat a scam artist, and his pr pet an enabler. Ranting implies I'm angry. I'm not. The situation is a comedy show
I wasn't pulling the piracy card. I agree with you. My point was none of us a give BC slack on this.
Fair enough, but the ones still paying are in the Discord not here. If you really want to make people see the light, that would be the place to do it. Everyone here already agrees with you, more or less.
So D2021 file includes days 15-21? and the darkmind patch is just the one for 2021?
That forum rule must be changed, in my opinion sharing a post on Patreon or a message on Discord does not mean that the project is alive or that the dev is working. On what proof are you basing your claims? On the dev faith? The forum must change the rules and put a reasonable maximum amount of time for each update (1 year?), after that IF the developer has not released an update or serious proof that in this time lapse he has not been working the game will have the abandoned tag automatically.
I suspect it's because no one actually goes to the mods about it. People complain about it in a thread like this and leave it at that. The mods themselves have said they don't see an issue with how this is happening.
I would say, the rule should be changed also to only take into account public patreon etc posts. Regardless of if a devs likes / agrees with it or not they get free publicity here and if they want to written update posts behind a pay wall this site should consider it not an update at all. Look at all the other games in the global industry that has piracy, all their updates (patch notes, future plans, etc) are all freely available regardless if you bought the game or not. It should be treated to this standard and if they don't follow it they can't complain if they get less interest / monetary gains as a result.
