Not to come across as cold, but it's hard to believe these things are real when there's a pattern of it in the past and they've used it to get out of updating the game time and time again. Try to paint it as me being callous but at some point the village people stopped listening to the boy who cried wolf.
you may notice most other people nowadays consider the current writing the actual important part of the game.
I don't remember any mention of code problems with the card game, and I remember being following here before t was released. just that the cause was the coder, but as we now know he is also the main writer.
See, this is interesting. I am going through a very similar situation. Masters degree, I lag behind assignments and I often avoid checking email for the fear of confrontation.
It has been hinted at that communication between Marty and cbob is intermittent at best, so I wouldn't be so sure about that. Also, don't underestimate the combined power of three imaginations instead of just two, a third perspective could do wonders.
You're speaking out of your ass. Obviously if there's a whole council of writers who decide the plot by committee it won't be cohesive but I didn't suggest that did I? I said they either need someone to come in and help with the load on the coding side or a writer to come in and help bring a new perspective which could help push past through any writer's block. As for the minigame thing I remember the programming being cited as a reason and I've been following this game since the first build was released on a thread in /aco/. Continue to make excuses for them I don't really care but it's getting frustrating. Try to look at this whole thing from a new perspective. Whenever it looks like the update won't release on a deadline THEY themselves set we suddenly get a new status update talking about the trials and tribulations of the coder/writer or some random nonsense that usually ends with "so we're delaying it". Does that not seem like they're just waffling and trying to buy time. Whatever their reasons the fact is that the delays continue with minimal effort put into actual releases and they continue to get paid ridiculous amounts monthly. Maybe some of that should be used to invest some resources into the game to help improve its quality and assure releases become more timely.
Thank you. Somebody who actually understands what I'm trying to say without twisting it around to some ludicrous suggestion that cbob be ousted from his own project.
Book one is basically garbage compared to the rest tho.
That's subjective but I'm not talking quality, back when they were working on book one updates were coming nearly every month like they promised and they didn't constantly post updates about how one of their dogs got sick and so it's a bad time for them and they'll have to delay for another 3 weeks.
while i do agree, i also think its a game as well, so it need some gameplay. i was ok with the combat in the first, because, while not good, it had potential, however, every subsequent new book brought worse and worse combat. as for minigames, the blackjack was well done, it was grindy, but as a side way to get money, it was a good idea.
I'm just thankful someone is taking the time to make this, and other games like this.
I didn't see anybody saying it wasn't allowed. People disagreeing with you aren't saying you can't do the same.
