People like to hate and shit on things, it's just the nature of the internet - I got used to it. It makes it easier to identify who's an idiot and who's actually worth talking to.Gee its almost like...I'm the same guy in a different form
Yes, they did receive all the criticism the first few updates. But those changes were never going to be instant. Heck as early as the update that added Elaisha, we were told of Pandora being overhauled. That isn't going to occur until 1.0. Drastically changing the game mid-development is a recipe for disaster (See Duke Nukem Forever for an easy example).
Its not that 'nothing has been done' its that its all being done, just not shown yet.
Man I didn't think it'd take this long to find another person that looks at things rationally and not personally.
For the record I didn't give Subverse any rating, but like so many, I didn't quite dig the launch. The 7 month wait for the first major update wasn't great either (though they did explain why, like their lead dev becoming a dad and taking paternity leave, as well as training the staff they hired with the budget they got).
But since then its been a smooth development, 3-4 months per update, with monthly blog posts to keep everyone appraised. I just can't comprehend how people saw this of all things as a scam when I know there are soooooo many games or animators on this website that work barebones and hardly provide anything after years.
And as you've said, there is no other game like this. Wild Life is still chugging along in development (despite it existing since before FOW was removed from Patreon), Something Unlimited has existed since 2016 and isn't done. Miro has foregone continuing his Bloodlust series and is now doing AI image sets which is just....baffling.
But this is the game they want to make a molehill out of.
Not saying that none of the criticisms are valid, but the amount of people that throw around buzzwords like "scam" or compare it to other failed projects from different autors is staggering. And stupid.
Star Citizen.It's kind of scary how this game blew past any and all roadmaps they had early on and is slowly turn into a worse Star Citizen without the same money-making scheme lol.
They should cut their losses and move on, but whatever.
Went into development (actively) 2011. Supposedly being released in 2025.
Subverse.
Went into EA on Steam 2021. But let's assume, just for the sake of the argument, that things started a year earlier. So 2020.
We can expect a Full-Release this year or early 2025.
