What I took away from this is that the game is dead and they're going to try to squeeze out 4 or 5 months until March, where Alorth will then quit. Its going to take them 9 months to get the remaining "30%" of Ch. 5 released... I doubt they will release a completed Ch. 6 in less than three months. But hey, devs, prove me wrong lmfao... I doubt you will make this deadline as this is a reeeeaaacchhhh, which is why I said game is officially dead in 4-5 months.
However, I will stand by what I said; this IS the transparency I was talking about beforehand. "We will deliver Ch. 5 by XX date," and "we will deliver Ch. 6 by XX date," etc. IF you are able to deliver by being transparent and deliver updates going forward then I will eat my own words, having proven me wrong, and are on the path of recovery.
This is absolute damage control from fucking around for months on end and they're in a panic. I'm not donating again until I see results, even after Ch. 6, and I'm sure others are thinking the exact same and are just as doubtful. But they are going to have to seriously work to regain support.
