Just dropping in to let everyone know that I'll be announcing the release date in a few days time (I'm waiting for the next batch of renders to be delivered so I can make a more accurate estimate). The game is not abandoned, the chapter is very close to being done, and this has been discussed as recently as the 13th of this month on Patreon.
If you're unsure/skeptical, my DM's are always open here or on Discord. I wanted to apologize for not commenting here as much as I probably should. I used to be very active here, and wish that were still the case... but if you take a quick look around... it's not exactly the most welcoming place towards us.
Still, I know that's not everyone here, and I appreciate those of you who remain cordial/I apologize that you don't get to hear from me and Alorth that often. If you join our Discord, we're very much active there every day and we'd love to have you. When I announce the release date, it'll come with some important news you will all be very happy about (it's related to the game's release window).
Anyway, that's all. Please be kind/respectful of each other. Love you all,
-SirD.
I will always discourage personal attacks, it isn't the way. However you must understand why people are so skeptical, specially since the same promises already were done with Polarity. While I don't have personal hatred towards someone over a game, it still bothers me a bit that barely no comunication is present on patreon, not even a small report, only wallpapers are there. With all due respect that's pretty odd, specially with so many hardworking devs out there who get a tenth of the money support you guys have.
Again, I discourage people to personal harass someone over a game, as well many people simply troll and expect nonstop free stuff and burnout from a dev without even investing a cent or even care about common sense. But at the same time I hope you understand that, the amount of red flags you guys had created an amount of distrust that is hard, if not impossible to recover from, and I mean it to people with fair and well elaborate concerns over your true commitment to the project.
Personally I believe the game got way too hyped and you guys accommodated to the cash flowing in, but who am I to judge about that. I just know that me personally I won't ever put a cent on this game, even if the development finally kicks in. There are devs who show more engagement, not only in development, but in comunication with their fans. Not only to gain fans, but more importantly, to retain a loyal fan base. I would say good luck to future endeavors, but the fact you're still gaining money on Polarity's patreon page and monetization wasn't stoppped still bothers me.
Sincerely.
