Hm, I legitimately thought we'd get something this month just to ward off the abandoned tag. Even if it took another 2 years before the next update afterwards, I figured keeping the abandoned tag away would be top priority to him. It's a shame. This was a good game.

IMO the idea that the promised release was about warding off the tag was dubious. AFAICT from looking back in the thread, the deadline was only mentioned as "hearsay" then quickly forgotten. Then the release was promised, notably after patrons expressed support for MTL release (granted, BC seemed unmoved by this, at least at first). It was only later that the deadline became a regular topic of discussion here and was confirmed as site policy.

Maybe, but when it was erroneously labelled abandoned last month, Skummy self-assuredly chimed in and said it(the tag) was going to disappear and an update would surface in April. He tried to be convincing, and consequently failed, to uphold this assertion. His doublethink became his undoing.

Because of the timing, I assumed that was an April Fools thing* and that was why Skummy was so sure it would be removed. I took his assurance that the release would happen separately and with a truckload of salt.
* It wasn't until after Skummy's post that a moderator confirmed it was a mistake rather than a prank.

Hmm. I don't remember bluecat himself mentioning a deadline in the first place, he seems to be fairly oblivious to what's going on with his game. The most he ever gave were vague one word replies to people
I think it was a final attempt to make bluecat suddenly start working, skummy probably hoped that the tag would make bluecat care enough to do something. But it didn't. Latecomer and bluecat are just as bad as each other, they've taken the money and ran with it

Makes sense given that other pranks here were made, and some having been badly received. I also thought it was a prank at the time. All I was saying that the immediate reply from Skummy shows he was going for damage control and so the tag does seemingly have some portrayed significance to them. Otherwise, why attempt any assurances?

Well, an April deadline was talked about on the discord:
You must be registered to see the links
Don't know for certain but I got the impression it was the same release that Skummy talked about.
But as HalfElf pointed out a bit after that, it's not clear which question BC answered. And of course he never actually clarified.
It seems to me like bluecat was just going along with it tbh. I think Skummy created and pushed for the deadline so that bluecat would take the initiative and make the update, and bluecat failed again to do the work. Skummys the one who has tried to keep the game alive, while bluecat and latecomer haven't cared for one and a half yearsWell, an April deadline was talked about on the discord:

I think it was a last attempt to make something happen. Bluecat seems to be completely detached from the game, so it makes sense to me. It's just a theory I have though, based on the two of them
I wonder what the head of PR has to say on this

From what I can tell is that Skummy is just one of the unfortunate suckers that has been misguided with false hope and empty promises, I can relate to that since it is a great game. At this point it's pretty clear that the game is dead, even if he releases some rushed update very soon it won't restore trust or patreons. Best to get off this sinking ship buddy, you probably worked harder in this thread than BC on his game.

Yeah, Skummy went through a lot of shit he absolutely didn't have to.
2018-2020*
It died a long time ago, we've just been waiting for the burial. (Well, confirmation really, but the point stands)
Nah, we liked the game. Save that for BC's funeral.
The tag should have been put last year when he said in december 2020 he would release the alpha before the end of that month and failed to deliver.

As others have said after this, it feels like BlueCat is indifferent to this and that seems fairly true. He clearly doesn't care if he makes deadlines and failures to deliver on those deadlines. He doesn't care his fucked around for 2 years providing his patrons absolutely nothing, he clearly has no shame or guilt or he wouldn't act this way - he would come across more sympathetic and acknowledge his failings yet again if he cared in the slightest.
I would personally take this as him answering the deadline question, but if BlueCat wasn't answering that and instead the other guy then it would just further the idea that he doesn't care about his patrons. In BlueCat's eyes he must view his patrons as purely money, so long as his paid that's all he cares about - may as well be a dead person with your card on auto renew and you'd still be viewed the same way.Well, an April deadline was talked about on the discord:

At least we've gotten the abandoned tag now. Hope it stirs up some shit in discord just to piss him off honestly, would be more emotion than he shows his patrons lol.
