Even though we've been waiting for years for an update, I'm actually still giving this game a chance till maybe mid next year due to the fact that there's no game like it, after that, the dev/s gonna lose my support cause its literally been so long since we've had an update, patience eventually runs out, especially when you're supporting ones work.

The only way to support Meandraco is through patreon, but you will only get to choose a theme for a steam and even that is by a majority vote, which means you are not supporting his game, but his artist tendencies. As Meandraco said before, all the whining and cheering here means nothing to him. The development will continue either way without your, mine or IvoryOwl "support".

:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure:

Being complete honest, i only believe this when the update arrive and if arrive, 3 years for one update is a bigger level than icstor...i wonder if he lost all patreons, don't have money to do anything if that could make his progress go faster and out of nowhere "hey, here is the update". At the moment i don't believe that he is focusing shit on the game, there is zero proof about anything, the last stuff that i saw was about some fences, the game was just a teaser for his art and now he is just living his life, drawing while people throw money at him.

This. While I've seen some progress on the transition from Flash to Unity on his Twitter, there are barely any news from him or what his doing. The only things he publicly relveals are his art streams. I'm genuinely convinced at this point that the game was just a window to attract consumers, and now that he's established his fanbase he doesn't plan to resume his work unless his view count starts to drop.

Man, this sucks. But it sucks even more that there are people enabling such attitude. The game is interesting though, a shame the dev is like that.
Good news, most creators aren't doing that. People just really like to complain. I don't think either of those posters is correct about the state of this game, and I see similar complaints in many threads. It's just a common talking point on f95.

For the record, those posters are basically making things up and characterizing MD as some sort of conniving and manipulative businessman chasing dollars (and doing a crap job at it if you look at his sub numbers), when in reality he's just a guy making xenophilia art and also happens to have a game to showcase some of it as well.

I've seen him debug the game's code about a week ago but sharing stuff about mundane code stuff is boring. All the fun and interesting visual updates have been shared already.
On the other hand, I have no idea how the game is actually progressing.

His art is really unique i cannot deny that, is really intresting, but if he is really doing the "update", that i don't believe that he is, he should really get one guy to do the programing, because that really sucks. But i really believe that the game was just a windows for his art.

People will enable that because is what they like, some of them have conviction that he is working really hard to the update, and some really like the unusual stuff that he draw. I believe that meandraco is a scammer? No, but he is a cunt that keep saying that the game still going on, giving hope to those that played his game and saw something really unusual.

When did he ever give hope? All this "hope" with V3 release dates came from a random guy that resides on an unofficial discord channel. You do realize that people sometimes just want to spend their money on whatever they want, for a dollar or four? That's how people are donating a ton to a shit like Fifa. I don't get it, but normies don't care. If you are that pissed that the game developer constantly disappointing you than stop supporting him, you are not his slave and I doubt you have ever supported him with money, but descending to swearing, just because you were expecting something better from the artist without a team, well, it shows that you are really out of the arguments here and just like to spit the poison because you can. Unless the game maker disappears or says it's over, it is too early to carve a tombstone. But please continue, it's making at least this thread alive.

The devs an artist first and has stated before this is a passion project. His patreon has a goal for full time development that's not half reached yet. Until it is patreon bucks are for his weakly art streams only and to my knowledge he's doing those regularly. Can't fault him for doing what he's said he'll do.

Development is slow as possible but he doesn't make excuses like some 'other' devs, just honestly tells us whine if we want it'll be done when its done, maybe next year lol. I'd rather have an honest dev tell us that than the 'big' ones on this site putting out large updates that take half a year or more filled with 'revamped' art or 'remastered' scenes and constant excuses about whats keeping the updates rolling from their games that generate 10's of thousands of dollars every month they milk it.

That said, all this drama. Those of us waiting for the game are a simple lot. Dreamers who stare up the stars and ask the real questions."What that hole do?" We don't need to see the game, only have a vague idea that its out there in some form. Sadly, for the foreseeable future that will have to do.

Here is the map for the game that he draw 7 years ago
1436192684.meandraco_map_unfinished_7.png

From his blog (but is old).
"The development version of the Teraurge V3 currently runs on the Unity engine. I had been working semi-seriously on an Unity version of the game as precautionary thing along with the AIR version, but irreconcilable technical hurdles forced the issue and I had to take the plunge into the Unity for V3."

From time to time he give between the lines "hey, i'm still working on the game". I never said that i have hope that this game arrive IF arrive. Now about what you said about money, i completely agree, everyone can spend their money on what the fuck they want, i never said that he is a scammer, i only said that for me he is a dick for keep teasing people about something that probably will never be done.
