The whole interaction is cool and all but omg the only thing that is calling my attention all the time, even now are those 15634 pings, and I thought that I had a problem with my 3300+ tabs on Firefox and then more 1200+ tabs on Chrome, god lord just delete that account and make a brand new on.View attachment 3869257
I think I know why people here are angry with this dev...
The dude who's sunk money into a scam is in denial to justify his spendings. Who could have thoughtProbably because they don't read my messages anymore. Pistachio's words about posing are basically what I said one month ago:
Another reason may be that this is one of the few devs who don't lure people into thinking 'the update is around the corner' but keeps saying that it will take as much time as he needs to create a similar experience to previous updates (that's his next message, that for some reason you choose not to include in this screenshot you posted here after he wrote that second, missing message). And, well, people here tend to want everything tailored around their own wishes and whims, and sometimes that's not how things work in real life, and they get angry.
He didn't say THIS Christmas either lmaoChristmas LMFAO!!!!!
Pack it up,is so over is not even funny

To be fair to the guy I don't think anyone reads your msgs anymore when it's all just making excuses for the ones holding the leash.Probably because they don't read my messages anymore. Pistachio's words about posing are basically what I said one month ago:

If there is still such a thing like "fans" in this thread and they are that interested in knowing what is going on they can just join the discord and ask there. Expecting a dev to go to each platform and forum where there is supposed to be "fans" waiting for news is naive especially in a situation like this.View attachment 3872096
You mean, this? Look at the time when I wrote the screenshot comment here and the time when dev write new comment in discord dude. I just think dev mustn't give the answer like that to their supporters and fans. They had receive amount of money from patreon, it's like you have a job and target for the project to complete. But you give your supporters and fans the answers like the project never meet the ending. And that's why I think people here get mad with this dev.
And you know, why I ask the dev "do you still have guts to join the conversation in F95?" a few weeks or days ago? (I forgot) Because people here are very frustated with this update. They always support the dev (people get mad and angry 'cause they still believe with this game). If the dev itself give the answer here, or maybe update this thread, I think people here will really understanding about the reason or the answer. They just need the dev to give certainty this thread (or game) is not abandoned.
Well, if devs can't give a better estimation than "it will take as much time as it needs, and not less", what do you suggest them to do? To give a fake deadline they may not meet, giving false hopes only to crush them later? To go silent and let the doubts about their actual work creep in? Both options would make them look like actual scammers. This is a clear case of damned if you do, damned if you don't, so it's best to just stick with the same kind of response they've been giving since they stopped giving (and missing) deadlines back in 0.3.View attachment 3872096

This point is very important,fuck the few who want long updates,releasing content often is always better than waiting for "big" updates.2. When it comes to the next update. Try to plan it so it'll release in 6 to 9 months and if it looks like it might take longer. Break it up into smaller parts, so there's always something being released in a reasonable amount of time.
You're allowed to use fullstops more than once in every paragraphIf there is still such a thing like "fans" in this thread and they are that interested in knowing what is going on they can just join the discord and ask there. Expecting a dev to go to each platform and forum where there is supposed to be "fans" waiting for news is naive especially in a situation like this.
They come here, give their excuses and then what? Just the usual, a group of people (that is now predominant for obvious reason) will gather around, call them liers and scammers, distorce their words to fit their own versions of the story and then laugh together in commemoration for whatever they believe to have accomplished.
But that would not only help only them having fun, would help the devs too, because they would get even another excuse to blame for the "delay", they could just claim that because they now have to spend more time with "damage control" they can't work as much as they wished and because of that the update will take even longer than planned and I don't think fans would want that, and if all they needed is a direct explanation to "believe" in the whole story about the development of the update then they really are easier to trick (not taking any sides here, there may be no trick or lies or scams going on here).
Now an advice to you and everyone else that maybe in the same situation, if you are not here to troll and have fun around with the situation and you are actually sad or frustrated with all of this, for more harder that it may sound, JUST FORGET ABOUT THE GAME, for a year, for a decade, forever if it needs to be, if you are not feeling well with the situation then it's nor worthy, you should not feel frustrated for not getting what you want when you want and if you don't know how to deal with that the best you can do it's not deal at all.
I'm pretty sure that most of those who want long update don't expect the update to take 2 years and releasing content more often is not always better if the amount and quality of the content aren't good and well polishedThis point is very important,fuck the few who want long updates,releasing content often is always better than waiting for "big" updates.
pistachio (the dev) wrote something about this some time ago:2. When it comes to the next update. Try to plan it so it'll release in 6 to 9 months and if it looks like it might take longer. Break it up into smaller parts, so there's always something being released in a reasonable amount of time.

I think I started this update with a wrong mindset as well. We had two quests in mind that we really liked and we went for then, without considering their complexity (I thought having fewer quests, i.e. 2 instead of our usual side-story's 3 would be sufficient in speeding things up)
In the future, if a story we really want to tell takes this long, we will break it up into multiple releases (that's what we will do, probably, with the next part of the main story)
