so like why do you guys feel the need to shit on a game that isnt even done yet and is clearly being worked on i hate EA too but still this is just silly for a indepedently made game.
i think gabe is doing a great job with the story, my main complains are basically the she needs to communicate a bit more about the changes she does to the game
for example, the camera is an optional item introduced 2-3 updates ago, aprox 5 months since we have it... yet i still don't know how am i supposed to activate it, apparently it's a sequence or only press a key, and there are missions that depend on the camera that are already in use and technically you can solve them...but i don't know because nowhere in the game, game dev, updates or anything Gabe told us HOW to use the camera, she just said "here you have the item, have fun" but i don't know how to use it, and Gabe hasn't given any hint that the camera is not usable just yet, the contrary, she seems to imply that you CAN use it by the way she speaks about it in her blog.
another thing is "i put extra items in previous areas and now you can complete some" ok... WHICH areas get new items and WHICH are completed? because it takes up to 5-6 hours to investigate the whole map, i cannot run in interiors, and i don't want to waste time going through areas that are empty or not-completable.
Don't get me wrong, i understand that it's an indie game, i understand it takes long, i think it's ridiculous some people complaining about "the game crushing when i face an enemy that isn't completely programmed yet", i understand gabe will solve finish things in time... but i want to point this things out because i do think that this are honest to god mistakes, or improvements Gabe could do, and they are as easy as saying "this is how you activate the camera," or "this are the areas that you can complete now". Mostly so people who play month to month don't feel like they are getting punished for not waiting 5 years for the full game.
