Oh boy the comments. I requested it be marked "Abandoned" for specifically these reasons, quoting directly from the Patreon. I also requested a new thread be made with the new version's tech demo. As far as I'm aware, there is no automatic tagging of "Abandoned". Love it or hate it, this version is dead.
No. Please don't do that. Don't tell them to strive for perfection!
But in the meantime, let's pollute this thread that's supposed to be for the old game with pages and pages of discussion about the remake and the drama surrounding it. Sounds good to me.
Pretty sure a thread gets marked abandoned after six months of inactivity from the dev. Don't think it's done automatically, though. Would be near impossible to do automatically with the many outlets the dev can release information through.
Isn't that exactly what he's referring to?
That's why I suggested to make a new thread for development like some other games also have, after all there still some new people coming here once in a while and asking for help and such and those comments get lost (although they should probably just use the search). But it was a mild suggestion because who am I to tell people what they are or are not allowed to do here.
The contamination of the yarn has been due to their bad performance.
Not redeem but Dev has also mentioned that they don't control this thread and what goes on here, in the new thread (if the devs themselves decide to make it) they can put all the information and their viewpoint front and center in the OP and others can draw their own conclusion. They could also add all their previews and stuff in the OP so that people can find it easily and discuss it, here the updates are spread across that it will be difficult for someone new to find them. And nothing is stopping others from sharing their thoughts, counterpoints and criticism in that thread. I think it would stop the arguments to go around in circles too much. It wouldn't change much of the discussion (IMO) except the thread will be more on topic I guess. But as I said I don't mind if the discussion continues here, it could be too much work for what it's worth making different threads and such, time is precious.
Nothing is certain but death, taxes, and no one using the search function.
And it makes me sad to realise that I will never see your version of the game finalised. I loved (and still love what we've got up to 0.8) your take on it and it's such a shame that it will never get any more updates.It makes me a bit sad seeing it marked as abandoned, considering it was two years of my life. Literally.
No matter how much time you have put into it, it doesn't change the fact that the version we see in the OP is abandoned. So I get you, but I also don't get you.It makes me a bit sad seeing it marked as abandoned, considering it was two years of my life. Literally.
Totally feel you.It makes me a bit sad seeing it marked as abandoned, considering it was two years of my life. Literally.
I get that you're sad about the game you've worked on being done for, but I guess I don't really see why the thread being marked abandoned triggered that sadness.What don't you understand? You've been around here when I explained it wasn't my idea to do the remake, lol.
It's just the feeling of sadness, that's all. I'm not rationalizing anything here.
Discussed at length in this thread during the last year or so since the remake was announced. IIRC it came down to code quality, but don't believe me, look for it yourself. Look for posts from MightyAltroll and Abelius.
