im currently working on a spanish translation for TU, and goddamn this game have A LOT of text and makes me appreciate
Meandraco's effort. but to be honest i think the problem here is that he have a lot to do with teraurge and he barely communicate anything to his community, is like he just dissapeared... and the fact that he doesnt like to spoil or show anything from the future updates doesnt help neither.

he did a yearly blogpost update today, the troll
The post for those that don't have a blogpost account
Still working on V3.

Yes, it's very disappointing and irritating. Honestly, it's been causing a great deal of anxiety to me for the last three years and just quitting to end the questions and self-doubt seems like the better deal compared to listening to the jeering from the sidelines. But I've seen multiple projects and internet personalities quit projects like this to save themselves from the anxiety of "not delivering", and it always felt far worse than just getting even a small snippet of content from them later down the line.

Yes, the development has been quite slow, but it cannot be made any faster. I do have a life outside of Teraurge, so my schedule is filled with things that take precedence, which keeps slowing and obstructing the development. Remembering the posts I've read from other game devs I notice that they'd list the things that affect the development time and such, in order to justify their shortcomings. However, I feel like these hurdles tend to be so mundane there'd be little point to list them, other than to make it seem like the dev is groveling for forgiveness, which wouldn't make much sense in my case because I've grown unrepentant.

I was planning to include preview snippets in this blog post, but I realized I would have to dedicate time and effort to hunt for those (which I don't have). Then I would have to suffer the questions about them without being able to answer (because I don't have time for that). And then finally I would have to watch as people create new expectations and assumptions based on the previews and lack of answers which ultimately wouldn't be corrected (because I don't have time for that).

And here is the traditional up to date stream art super pack for your convenience.



V3 will come out whether you like it or not.

I will not post anything because even after 4(or is it 5?) years it is still not ready. I will not create an intermediate update... "because". I will not hire(or accept free help) additional staff to speed up the development... also because. I will not post snippets of new content, because I will "have to hunt for it", in other words: it's miniscule. I will also not answer any questions because I have no time for that (but I have it for my art streams). I will also claim that any complaints come from haters. Remember, I have a life outside TU (just like any other game dev who makes regular updates, even if its just a bug fix).

Got it.

PS what's funny is that I see my old self in MD, maybe that's why I get so angry with him.

Why would I hire someone to do my hobby for me? also do I owe money to you? because it really sounds like it.

Nice repost. Also, to be fair, it was someone pointing out a new blogpost and someone else starting to randomly bitch, nothing really exciting going on recently and I really wouldn't call a random troll being a troll 'bickering and arguing'. Thread's mostly been quiet as trolls seem to have largely run out of energy and people are just waiting.

I wouldn't call people complaining about the lack of information regarding the next update a troll. That said people continuing to harass MD and making accusations about the game being a scam is annoying as hell on here. I still have hope that the update is still coming out.

Maybe Teraurge fanart is the motivation I'm looking for to dust off the old art skills and get back into the drawing habit

I just looked at this thread for the first time in months after multiple years of loving this game and even following the creator on twitter to find that the creator isn't enjoying developing the game, which is sad, but hopefully they don't burn themselves out or hate working on it or anything.

Meandraco . I know this probably doesn't help much, but i and many others really appreciate the work that you're doing. You're making an amazing game and Teraurge is a very unique game. I hope you're able to enjoy making the game more in the future, as you deserve it. If you're able to keep working on it than i know that a lot of people will be very very happy, but i don't want you to feel backed into a corner or anything and it's important to be happy
