I was not happy about COVID. I am not happy about the Ukrainian-Russian war. I was not happy about Notty's car accident. But some things are out of our control. We are not going to finish the game, the developer is.Like almost all public criticism, it is about addressing all sides. Not just the developer, but the community as a whole. As long as you talk about the game, no matter if critical or not, it fits here. Why should you pretend that everything is fine in a game that is on the brink like Heavy Five? Just as I don't go around badmouthing optimistic posts, there's no reason to try to suppress a discussion that tries to point out problems.
I'm convinced that Heavy Five, similar to some other larger projects, is at high risk to fail due to too ambitious goals. In particular, the fact that a never-ending update follows directly after the remaster is a really clear signal for excessive perfectionism that seems to lose sight of the goal to actually finish this game.
You think excessive perfectionism is bad for the project. I think so too. But Nottravis thinks otherwise. I accept his decision because it's his game, I'm just a user. I am not helping anyone by criticising the game for being late.
It's like trying to clear a traffic jam by honking the horn continuously. It's a way of expressing your displeasure, your impatience, your helplessness, you get the illusion of "I did something!". But traffic will not move any faster.
