Unity Abandoned Rack 2 [v8] [Fek]

[TheImage]

Alright, keep it civil. No personal attacks.

 

[The UnHolyOne]

recent comms with the developer. as ive always said. i dont blindly follow nor believe. i simply communicated what i had spoken to him over a year ago!. but heres my recent dealings with him. happened today

 

[The UnHolyOne]

he's sent this as proof hes working on it

The fact that he immediately jumped headfirst into adding multiplayer sealed Rack 2's fate. it's a niche in which he will probably NEVER have an audience for; seeing as the real gooners have shit like VRChat and Anthro Heat already. No idea what he was thinking there, instead of just fixing the already existing buggy mess that the game was... let's add more shit to the code that will spaghettify things even worse than it already was!

yeah, i do agree. he should've focused on making a better and more stable product before even thinking of adding multiplayer. i will admit, multiplayer would be fun. but in order for rack to even become playable, it required a player made mod. so that does speak volumes. however, time will tell

I dunno, seems iffy. A bunch of .cs files on a screenshot don't mean much, especially since it's been how many years since multiplayer was planned? At this point I feel that Rack 2 is his cash cow, but has definitely started to lose interest in the idea. If he stops, however, then a chunk of his revenue plummets. There's like no other explanation for this radio silence across the board. Not even Trello with the roadmap he planned is up to date. How can we now trust this as definite proof? Why not acknowledge or give a shoutout to the Reinvented mod for adding content and fixing things?

...why the radio silence at all? Can't be for milking more outta the Patreon, right? Right?

yeah thats true. all we can do is cross our fingers and wait tbh. people who pay need to decide how they feel. but we're not the developer, we dont know him nor whats in his head. fuck knows lol. i wish the mod creators just continued to expand further

Excuse me but how naive do you have to be to believe Fek is still working on Rack 2 lol? It's like arguing that Santa Claus exists, it's a matter of blind faith because we have no proof or solid evidence, at all, that Fek has been working on it lol.

Dude made over 2 million dollars, that's enough money to sustain himself for a lifetime without having to work ever again, and that's exactly what he's doing, he just plays D&D and that's it, thanks to gullible people he doesn't need to work on any of his unfinished projects anymore.

progress update on the multiplayer

 

[The UnHolyOne]

fyi, i dont believe a thing till its in my hands and infront of me. im just providing updates when and if i see em. whether that be conversations had, or posts. whether you choose to believe em or not, thats upto you. but i know alot of you loved this game, hence why im updating with anything i see, doesnt mean im a believer, but just wanting to keep yous all in the loop of the goings on. believe it once its in your hands, im the same. this games been dead a long ass time. will it ever get updated? fuck knows. but ill still provide updates in terms of "news" if i see it

 

[GammaXai]

Ugg, I wish there was anything more to see than the UI. I have high hopes but my bullshit detector is also on high sensitivity given how the UI is a fraction of a fraction towards the goal and he already knows how to make a UI screen.

yeah..... that's not how this works, you CAN NOT simply shove multiplayer into a product that was not designed for it from the ground up, if he really is working on the game regularly, then that's probably why it's such a painful process right now, there are a lot of systems in rack2 that i cant imagine just plug n play with any form of multiplayer.

all i think needs to be said on the matter is: If you dont think he's producing, then dont pay the man, dont harass him on twitter and dont harass the people still giving money, move on.

Patreon should really develop a customer protection system for cases like this. Idk if you haven't delivered even 25 or 30% of what you promised in 10 years, then you should give the funds back. Imagine people that payed Fek, thousands of dollars in 2012 and the game is still in Alpha, I know nobody forced them to pay and trust some Internet stranger, but how is Patreon not responsible? Fek is practically a scammer.

getting big "no you can't make me take my meds" vibes from this, a la the Titanfall 2 subreddit

The perfect furry game if it wasn't for the terrible non-existent updates, terrible models, terrible progression system, terrible bugged interactions, terrible toys, terrible in-game money and the absolute dogshit terrible optimization who fries gpu's or better yet runs like trash in modern systems.
Other than that, it's a pretty good abandoned game

I wonder if there are any available game sources to begin with, to look at the code and maybe fix stuff/experiment with VR etc.

It's in Unity so you can decompile it. That being said, the code base is a horrible mess that needs refactoring. Good luck to any who try....
