It would be but they actually spoke a lot about some 5th book they were going to add at the end of the story. This was mentioned some time around the ending of Book 2 or midway through Book 3. Basically after Book 4 is finished theres a fifth Book that will focus on the overarching story of FET, that is to say the whole spirits conflict and all that.
He was always essentially their PR guy after all since the coder is hilariously bad at communicating
Yeah but his side projects are things you could whip up if you installed renpy right now, granted I'm not diminishing his art or drawing skills those I can respect. What I find odd is the coders lack of communication though. Rather the massive void of it.
As far as I am informed there won't be a book after book 4 is finished but a short chapter to tie up the lose strings. Not as lengthy as a normal book.
You should be worried if cbob is giving Marty something. Think about it, all this time they've been working together and he could've asked Marty for help beyond just drawing art. Which I believe has happened once, but now he decides to just give up and hand over a "barebones" version of the current build?
just an assumption.. if cbob gives a warning like that and Marty even mentioned that warning is beyond the usual, i roughly expect what he gets is (hopefully) a raw outline of where the story should go, with some patches as they came into cbob's mind, attached here and there. maybe not even sorted by timeline. fragments as i see it. somewhere inbetween is a part of what makes cbob go stuck, aside from his other issues. that may or may not benefit from Marty's POV and maybe he finds somethign around to continue. from there, it's really hard to tell. if Marty's trying to solo the major part of it, the whole telling style is likely to change, more or less. imo communication between those two will still be important, and that depends on cbob being able to.
Read the post again. Marty said cbob promised he would send him something and to keep his expectations low, so he doesn't even have the build yet. That is if the build even exists. You can't trust anything that's said in these update posts, 6 months ago they promised a release in October and look where we are now.
I'd say empty words are less than something. I've grown up my whole life hearing hollow promises.
well i mean if its the last book then maybe its gonna be really long and a rough outlining at the beginning isn't enough.
At some point you gotta ask yourself why they haven't changed the coder. It can be that hard to replace one person.
Because the coder is the head of the project and the technical holder of the patreon. He's also the writer and knows everything about where the story is going.
