Crazy thing is he's looking for a volunteer writer that'll write him 200,000 words. Volunteer = for free?

The Fellowship of the Ring has ~187,000 words.

What kind of writer volunteers to write the 67437th generic slice of life "fucking my 2 sisters and mom"-story? Ridiculous.
The novel "The Fellowship of the Ring" (the first part of The Lord of the Rings) contains approximately:
About 187,000 words
If we consider the entire The Lord of the Rings novel as a single work (which was Tolkien's original intention), then the total word count is:

  • "The Fellowship of the Ring" ≈ 187,000 words
  • "The Two Towers" ≈ 156,000 words
  • "The Return of the King" ≈ 137,000 words
The entire trilogy total: ≈ 480,000 words

For comparison:

  • The Hobbit ≈ 95,000 words
  • The Silmarillion ≈ 130,000 words
  • An average modern novel ≈ 80,000-100,000 words
So, The Fellowship of the Ring is a rather voluminous work, almost twice as long as an average novel, lol :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I could swear I wrote this exact post a couple of years ago, in a different thread (probably "Nothing is Forever".)

Well, after searching I did not find anything quite so exact as the post above. I did mention LOTR length as a measuring stick against which the length of the game content could be compared, but not with the level of detail and clarity displayed by saimon64.
I apologize for casting aspersions as to your character, sir

Haven't played this game. Can anyone tell me how far the story has gone before the project got abandoned?

The last words from the dev were back in June on Discord.

I'll share some teasers on patreon soon

4 months and not a peep. So, I am going to assume this is finally dead now. He said he was going to do a new game before continuing this game anyway, but I think it's all over for everything at this point. He also doesn't come on F95.
