I see we have some newcomers here allow me to get you guys up to speed.
The developer, the honorable Eromancer, started this project as a mini fundraiser project (correct me if I'm wrong fellas) to gather funds for a much larger previous project, Malice and the Machines, which has long since been abandoned like seriously anyone born when it was announced could probably talk now. So the developer put all hands on deck with this sumbitch of a masterpiece and has been in development for I dunno about 5 or so years. So take everything you've seen in the current version in the original post and imagine all of that took at least 5 freaking years to make. Also these guys are apparently still racking in big bucks from supporters, they're not exactly obliged to give in to supporters' every demand but those supporters are giving them money in good hopes that they will make a good game in a plausible amount of time of course. Now imagine yourselves as one of those supporters pledging to them every month for 5 years for this current state of the game, honestly I almost pledged to these guys when I first saw this game. I'll leave the rest to your imaginations.
Ya'll can throw smack my way none of you are gonna change my mind these devs are whack
Edit: this game's at least 3 years old based on how long this thread's been going. My bad it felt like 5 years
