Honestly at this point I don't think there's much point in ascribing motive to their actions, I don't think they're playing 5d chess they're eating the fucking pieces.

So far they've said they'd post an update to Steam when they have an ETA, then suddenly they have a date but no Steam update. They would push it out without testing, then it was late because they were testing it. Then they were uploading the new build to Steam, but there's no new/updated depot... then it was Steam's fault for a bit as they were awaiting approval, even though Steam don't require approval for patches and the private depot would show up instantly? Now it's because some of the dev team and/or volunteers missed deadlines?

It sounds more like Helius is just a pathological liar and the entire project is fuelled by chaos and mayhem. I think the only thing we can really surmise is that the game isn't in a particularly good state if they won't (or can't) push it out even with all the features they've cut.

The lack of a depot update really is the most damning, irrefutable proof that Helius is lying through his teeth. But if you were to post that on their Discord, you'd be banned faster than you can say 'oops'. And thus, the lemmings will continue to pour money into Helius's pocket.

multiple year backer that can confirm, any questions regarding the legitimacy of this project will just have you out right banned. wouldnt be surprised at all if all 14k of their patrons are just people that dont realize they never canceled their 4$ support. anyone and everyone whos supported anything over the minimum 30$ for the game has likely been banned by now for questioning why their money is being used as shit tickets.

You have peaked my interest with the depot, I completely forgot we can see that. You need to check his closed beta one, there was an update 4 and 8 days ago.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

But the last build update before that was 13 months ago.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

So they've not tested a single line of code in their sandbox environment for the past 13 months. Which is kinda damning, because we ended at 0.4, this upcoming is being listed as 0.7, and at least 2 changes like the steam-patreon link, and the network rework would need to test through the dev sandbox in order for anyone to know it's working and "done".

This really does seem half assed and rushed in response to that pcgamer article. No wonder all his staff are missing internal deadlines, they probably only heard about this the same day the discord server did.

This is so very sadly true. Damning proof indeed. Sucks too, looked like a great game then came all the nonsense and poor management that went along with it.

No idea how that works but I imagine they could have separate fork for dev work that we can't see or smth.

Oh yeah I'm aware of the one 4 days ago, I even made a post here about it, however at one point yesterday there were claims that a new build was being uploaded and then that they were waiting on Steam to process and approve it.

Unfortunately that discussion was on their Steam Forums and all I have now is:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I presume their Discord has been similarly cleansed unless anybody here screen grabbed anything. If they were waiting on people who missed deadlines etc. a 4 day old depot would also be completely irrelevant.

You can't hide depots in Steam, only set a password. Even for

you can see all their test depots and guess when they're likely prepping a patch etc. You can just

, but for testing purposes you'd probably want to actually deliver it via Steam. (I stand corrected on this, it still uploads the metadata about the build to Steam).

the last update on their discord was that everything was processed in steam and was being dev tested for bugs before they put it live. that was close to 36 hours ago

Since this title will rely purely upon being always online and dependent on servers, I can see this title having the same fate as Babylon's Fall.
I may be wrong here, but I don't trust Helius to keep this game healthy enough to last as a live service game.

Unfortunately this video game was just foam and a little beer.

I bought it since the game looked promising (I only paid 35 for the Steam key), but I see that it was a mistake. You have to admit, it was a scam.
