Im interested in the game but seeing after 4 years its only on 0.2.55 is kinda alarming. Is it on hold, abandoned, just rly slow on updates or whats the catch?
Thx in advance!
As near as I can figure their versioning system, that 0.2.55 indicates there have been 55 individual updates since version 0.2 first released, so don’t take the 0.2 part as too indicative.
They used to be on a monthly schedule, but have switched to bimonthly as it reportedly allows them to be more efficient with their workload, and they’re putting out at least as much in that two-month period as they did in two one-month periods before, so development hasn’t slowed down. The story is progressing... well, very slowly, let’s say, but that’s due to the volume of content they’re putting out. It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say that each bimonthly update includes more content than a lot of the entire games that end up being posted on F95.
On the one hand, the game absolutely is taking long enough that my expectations are tempered regarding its completion (no offense to the devs intended, but lots of thing can happen in the space of a few years, knock on wood).
On the other, having watched the game’s progress over the course of a year+, that’s not due to a lack of direction or discipline in the devs’ part; they seem genuinely committed to completing the project, and feature creep seems to have been kept to a minimum. It’s just, as I mentioned, lots of things can happen in the space of a few years, so my personal approach is just to enjoy the updates as they come (with significant breaks so it doesn’t get too old).
