Have you ever thought about the possibility that this accident never happened?
I can't talk for the others on this, but personally, no.
I follow her on twitter, I'm on her personal forum, and time to time I exchange with her in private, mostly regarding technical issues. It's been now almost five years (yeah, prior to the first release of her game) that I read her, and not really less longer that I first interacted with her. Not a single time during all those years, did I caught her lying, and many time did I seen her admit, more or less publicly (from her forum to twitter) that she was temporarily overwhelmed by this or that.
Why would she change now ? If she was making money, it could possibly make sense, but since she pause the pledge every delayed months (so since a long time now for this update), what would be her interest ? And even there she isn't lying. She talk about the pledges being paused on her Patreon posts, there for to the persons who are the first concerned by this, and wouldn't stay among their patrons if she was so blatantly lying to them.
As for the accident itself, if she lied, then she's an even better author than I ever thought so far. One year now, and not a single time did she said something that can raise the starts of a doubt regarding a possible contradiction. All this while not sticking to a straight line, like liars do, but effectively reporting about the evolution of her situation, and in a more than credible way.
I'm known to be a grumpy ass when I want, never restraining to expose fuckers here. Why would I change just for her ? Because I would fantasy on a person I don't know, who don't live in the same country than me, don't speak my language, while I write/read but so poorly and difficultly speak hers, and that I'll never ever cross, even in a 10km radius, in my whole life ? Let's be serious five seconds, this is ridiculous. I'm a 51yo widow and father of two now adults, not a horny teenager expecting to finally have some actions in his life.
And the same apply for her historical base supporters. From what I know, none of those who, like me, support her since the beginning, having witnessed her at her lowest moment and been there for her during those times, have less than 35 years. Them too are above this kind of fucked fantasy.
You doubt, well, good for you, it's your right. But whatever how often you'll say it, it will not change the truth. Especially to the eyes of those who's seen this truth among the time.
Just like all the todo lists and the supposedly finished contents are probably all just fantasy.
I had the great chance and pleasure to see the new chapter one, so I know that it exist. And since it exist, then I have no reason to doubt that the rest also exist, this even if luck don't lasted long enough for me to see it. But I'm saying this knowing perfectly that you'll not believe me more than you believe her.
I also know who have seen way more than me, being the official testers and not an exceptional lucky consultant like me. I know who they are, and how invested they are, enough to know that if there were really nothing, they would react. Not by rebelling, but by encouraging her, helping her goes back on track, like they did in the past when it was needed. Like, by example, they did long time ago, when we had to teach her online how to repair her computer because she blown up her CPU, then guiding her, nearly in real time, when she did the manipulations. But here again, why would you believe me ?
And in fact the problem you have lie there. Not in the fact that you don't believe, but on the fact that believing or not isn't your issue. You don't care about the truth, just about the sound of your fingers hitting the keyboard.
And this is easy to prove. 10 hours ago, not even half a day, you said that you had lost all hope, not believing in this game anymore and that you were letting it goes. Yet, less than 6 hours after writing this, you were still here, this time preaching your own gospel, trying to convince others to follow you on your abandon.
Those are not the acts of someone who's honest, those are the acts of someone who seek for attention and recognition. And such persons don't care what others can say, they only care about the few who will worship them in a way or another.
But don't be too proud about yourself, never forget that this is a public forum. When someone answer you, like I did myself right now, they aren't necessarily talking to you. I wouldn't have wasted my time trying to convince someone who I know don't care and want even less to be convinced.
I wrote this for the others, the readers, active or not on this thread, recurrents or occasionals. Those who, with reason, are impatient and want to know what will happen next in this game. Those who, time to time, need to be reassured.
The only way for this game to be effectively abandoned is for Notty to die, or to loose everything to the point that she can't continue to works on it even just few minutes now and then. It's her beloved baby, and she isn't the kind of mother who abandon her baby.
Of course, this mean delay, long wait between two updates, and therefore from them, from us, patience. But one day this game will be complete. In between, there's so many things that can be done in life... So, just live, and when the time will come, when the update will be released, then, and then only, it will be time to come back to this game and enjoy it like you enjoyed those day where you did other things while waiting.
As for you, why not eat something ?
