Which games are those? Any recommendations?
Forgetting about it is the right move. Good on you.
And I do agree, IMO games like STS should get a "slow development" tag or "limbo" tag to differentiate them from other ones.
Hmm, there is one but I think you may already know about it. It's the one that's been criticized before as a subpar clone of Summertime Saga and it's not necessarily as good in my opinion. Another one has a lot of reading, has a medieval/magic setting, and it's still in early dev. There's also another one whose name I can't remember right now. It has something to do with summer camp or something and it's still in early dev (I roughly count anything with under 5 updates as "early dev" to make things simple)
I don't fuck with this genre of 2D art work too much to be honest but my point was that the two facets that I was interested in aren't exactly unique to Summertime Sage anymore and if it takes another 4 years at least for the game to finish, I'd bet there'd be similar titles that come out in the meantime as well.
Hmm possibly, though I think those tags would either make things complicated or wouldn't serve too much purpose.
- Those who are willing to wait will still continue to wait and be active on the thread. Those who don't care enough will just continue to ignore it.
- "Slow development" or "limbo" might be too subjective and may become a point of contention.
I'm not putting too much weight on the second point since I have no clue what might happen but the first point I definitely feel like is what makes it pointless for me personally. Would it save people the trouble of deciding whether or not to try the game? Possibly. Though I think it'd fall back into an argument over whether or not something is in "slow development" and would still require some guesswork and asking around on the individual's part.
(Plus if we're talking about new features for this site, I'd just like it if we could remove reviews that we've made or if the "review" text box was bigger when writing one)
