Why? They need to release it to have a finished product, and finished in somewhat reasonable time.
Modders while talented, can only do so much with existing assets, and just because this game stands out from others doesn't mean its time to pack it up and move on.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for more content for kp. BUT that is only because I am a big fan of it. I got something around 300+ hours sunk into current versions of the game
You ever heard of Star Citizen?Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for more content for kp. BUT that is only because I am a big fan of it. I got something around 300+ hours sunk into current versions of the game
But at the same time having a finished product is really important for indie devs (and imho probably for any devs) cause each next month in development actually brings less and less new people to the project and at some point old fans might start leaving it, with phrases like: "What, its still being developed? Half a year to add just another side-job? I see, just milking patrons..."
Adding more and more content is nice and all, but it sure has diminishing returns, and I think Rem understands it quite well, that is why he always says that they got a plan and they are following it.
Obviously they might do a couple of dlcs after full release, if some specific content still gonna be in high demand, and won't require a ton of time from them.
Setting realistic goals and following the plan is better for the game than infinite development that just make the game more clunky with each next update. Fans are cool and stuff, but majority of your consumers are casuals, no matter what you do. And casuals need a finished product and possibility to beat the game in some reasonable time.
Like, take Steam with tons of devs following infinite development route with excuse: "we are in alpha, you have been warned". Any good games you can name that are doing that? In my experience best games that started in alpha state were released after 1-2 years of dev time. If it takes more, interest to the game dies, and with consumer interest, dies Dev interest in their own game as well. Updates take longer and longer and bring less and less content...
But yeah, I hope that they do, after the game is released, 1 or 2 DLCs to add a few additional Side Jobs and maybe an extra floor but we will see. Whatever they do, this is already my fav H-Game anyway so everything is a bonus to me.
yes it is. Don't worry too much about it. Well riots destroy stuff and the workshop increases riot chance as it is so makes sense. Its not a bug probably won't change in later updates, maybe, when prisoner reception and other locations are accessible.
but not every ppl be like you.....most of the ppl like fresh, unless dev keep add in the new tihing, otherwise ppl will feel boring and looking for other replacement. like there are lots game otherside.You ever heard of Star Citizen?
Meanwhile, games like LoL or CS:Go or GTA5 are huge and very old. So the argument, that poeple want new games because they get bored quick of old games all the time isn't really true. A lot of people stay with something they really like, as long they get updated. Also I never said, that the Dev needs to make the game bigger? I am fine with them sticking to their plan. I only said I hope they add 1 or 2 DLCs, if the game sells well enough.
By that logic, the Dev should keep making the same game, as long his Patreon count goes up. That doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
XD comparing AAA MULTIPLAYER games with 2 ppl indie single player...
alright then. binding of isaac, LOL there's quite a few indie games with very small teams that have a huge player base that have 2K+ hours, he was being generic but they're out there cmon think a little my dudeXD comparing AAA MULTIPLAYER games with 2 ppl indie single player...
But you are right I guess, pretty sure if KP devs gonna get 1mil players on release they won't drop it. Probably Valve would come to them with a bag of money and an offer to make artifact 2 out of it...
yah and I watched isaac player base dwindle with each update. You dude should learn to read or something? Obviously it depend on the game its popularity. My key point is that there are diminishing returns. And long development times never work to bring more players.
Dude there are so many games out there. To name an example of one dude working on a game, that lives of Patreon (and before that only donors). Dwarf Fortress. And guess what? It works. And that game has been 14 years now in Development.
