August 19th?!? The world will end by then...
Seriously, I've already given this game some love, but thanks to a lot of the 'usual development patterns' for these type of games in general, it's often better to wait for the fifth version (0.5, 0.0.5, however they number) before investing your time/getting your feet wet. This probably ties in to why this game isn't getting more love as of yet.
Too many developers release games with not much content for the first release, with very little content added in the subsequent updates. Then they abandon their projects, leaving everyone hanging. Hence why a lot of people don't 'invest their time' in initial releases, unless there is a lot of buzz about the project.
In this case, it looks like the developer is shooting for 1 day of game time in each release, which isn't a bad model. The first two days were quite enjoyable, but for some people there isn't enough content yet to bother with. I very much enjoyed my time with this game so far, and have been keeping tabs on it.
August 19th, though... well better to to it right than do it half-assed! Looking forward to 0.3!
