Could the dev explain why during the 15 never once there was a on hold tag used and then you released something with not even 10 mins then only show up here to pick fights and argue
- Thread starter CarbonBlue
- Start date
not a problem, i've been there more than I wish to think only because i've been around for way too long (I'm ancient
) but thank you!I used to really like this one but then it was basically abandoned and "bought back" (not really). I kinda lost interest. When I cared about this game 3 or 4 years ago the art was considered good and the story was somewhat alright. Nowadays though the story is barebones and the art is average at best. For me to care for it again it'd need to be updated pretty regularely every month to a few months but fat chance of this happening, so I'd rather have this one be added the abandoned tag and let it die with dignity instead of this slow killing.
I'm not going to presume to know what the author of this is thinking but 5 minutes of gameplay every year is clearly not a good state to be for a game.
edit: also, my game says 6.4 beta and not 6.5 like in the OP even though the link I downloaded says 6.5.

If even just half of the time that was spent promoting this game on social media, and responding to people in this thread was instead spent developing the actual game.....there would almost certainly have been more than 20-30 mins of content in the last 3 years.
All those paragraphs and snide comments could have been dialogue. And the completely unrelated renders; used to advertise a practically nonexistent game, could have instead been part of the game itself.
You would have a lot more to show for your time, the game would likely be far more successful, you would almost certainly have more patrons, and you wouldn't be getting constantly chastised by 95% of the people in this thread.
Think about the kind of forum you are on. It's very unlikely that this is a collection of the most normal, healthy, well adjusted individuals. Many people are dealing mental illness, depression, ADHD, loss, trauma, addiction, procrastination, self-sabotage, SH...etc. It is almost certainly something that is more common than not among the majority of users on here. Which is precisely why they also understand it doesn't justify any of this. At the end of the day, it does not absolve you from responsibility or accountability, and if you won't hold yourself accountable, others are inevitably going to.
People are literally giving you money and holding you to damn near the lowest possible standard for content output and you still don't respect them, their money, or their time enough to even attempt to do right by the those who are enabling your entire lifestyle. Instead you spend time trying to attract new people who haven't grown tired of giving you the benefit of the doubt. And making more excuses.
Compare what other solo developers using roughly the same tools and with full-time jobs have managed to create in the same amount of time. I'm positive they have all had their challenges as well. Not to say you should be matching their output, but there is an immense gap between your current rate of output and theirs.
Life is constant adversity, and to sit around feeling sorry for yourself for years, making constant excuses is a rare luxury. I know this may sound harsh, but it really doesn't have to be like this. Nobody is truly benefiting from the current state of things. What benefits you do get are drastically diminished compared to what they could, and should have been.

you're actually using your mother death as convenience excuse to shrug off whatever criticism about your work ethic, that is actually more disrespectful to the deceased, using their death to garner sympathy how low can one get? death of a family keeps it within the family, announcing it to the world like a parade celebration, the fk is wrong with some people?

Uh-huh. Sure. There has not been a reasonably timed update since 2019. Remember this Carbon?
October 2020 and 5.2 will be NEXT WEEK? Missed that one by 7 months. No?
Do you remember 5.3? First week of December? Missed that one by 15 months. Still no?
How about more recent?
You want to do the math? No? Ok I will. 16 months.
4 years apart. Both times he says he will get updates out faster/reasonable time. Why do people not believe you Carbon?

Devs use deaths as an excuse because they don't believe they will get called out on it. It's not the first time this guy has done it, he did it a few years ago with the dev of his pet dog. And honestly i don't really believe a word this guy says.. i don't even believe his dog or his mother even died.

I only got 3 days off work when someone in the families died

Just thinking out loud here;
I think the problem lies more with setting dates. In my opinion, if the dev was honest about his work tempo and said that he would finish the update in his own time (without setting dates), that would be better than to set dates and miss the self appointed deadline. Not counting the other subjects, I'm not gonna walk into that minefield =P
But seriously, setting deadlines and not delivering is pretty hurting for any business. If you aren't clear if you can deliver on time, don't set a time until you know when you can deliver. Because for every missed deadline, you lose trust. And trust is the most important part of business. It is also easier to lose than to gain.
Aaaand I'm gonna stop rambling xD
The bit you convieniently seem to be missing out is the lies you post in order to get support on Patreon.
It's funny how you always do your little "marketing" posts around the time of Patreon renewals, just enough "promises" to keep those who don't know your history interested. I used to support you on Patreon, based on your "promises" that updates were coming.
90% of your posts are provable lies so why should anyone believe the 10% that aren't provable?
No one is forcing YOU to come on a forum and post bullshit. YOU are the only person responsible for the vast majority of responses you get on here. YOU. Given your lack of maturity and integrity, I'm guessing you are young and naive.
Anyway, I'll continue to support other more talented developers and think of you as the exception rather than the rule.
Anyone who deliberately take time to reply something like "I don't care" obviously cares.
If you truly want to prove people wrong, just shut up and work on the next update.
Instead you deliver false promises after false promises, all the while never stop billing your supporter.
Anyways I'll be looking forward to see the next scene in December 2025.

You are one of the few truly reliable, consistent modders here. I am always happy to see you covering a game. Thanks!

Not to pile on. And I'm not going to address any deaths or things like that.
While it's true nobody is forced to do anything, it does look really bad that it took this long for such a tiny update. All while you didn't pause payments and missed quite a few deadlines along the way.
It's not a big leap at all for people to think you lied (again, not talking about deaths) and took payments/donations while not actually doing much if any work.
I mean, you probably made almost as many bonus renders/wallpapers as renders this update has over this past year. So it's not like you don't have time. You just chose to not spend it working on your game.
Nobody forced you to do that. You're basically saying you'll take peoples money, even if you choose to not make any content. Which is just... not very ethical to say the least. Feuding with people on here just makes it look worse. And I know, you do not care.

Back in the day this was one of the premiere quality on-going games on this site along with Offcuts - which has been abandoned for like 4 years and still has quadruple the content this dross has.
I enjoyed the game and thought it could be a special thing.
Too bad the smoke blown up CabronBlue's ass got to his head and anyone daring to voice a negative opinion would be mocked, ridiculed and shunned by his snide comment.
Dude basically thought he's tolkien and kojima combined when he barely had his game out door. That alone put me completely off the game but over the years he kept conflicting and arguing with people here telling everyone how much of a 5 dimensional chess he's playing as if he's fucking M.Night Shyamalan when he could've easily spent all that energy to deliver.
To sum it up shortly, instead of walking the walk, he chose to do nothing but talk.
I won't get into any of the excuses he's pulled out about his loved ones but the rest of his family better get life insurance quickly.

...that was the long awaited release? I think I blinked and missed it.
is my game bugged or are there about 20 new renders and about 1 minute of text to read?
I just have a selection on what path you want to take. than you get about 30 seconds to read and thats it?
