Try to think about this. Those who had complained a lot about BD, majority of them may be non-paying players. At this moment, I am non-paying player. I rarely ever complain or speak negative to the developers for being late, not communicating, and/or etc. I would like to pitch in, however at this moment, I cannot. However I do post some comments here and there for the developer(s), I do not expect them to respond, do an modification, etc. I also like to help others on certain issues in the game. Overall, I usually try to avoid posting negative things.
Some of us do not understand how each games been develop and the whole process. Someone like
Braindrop (BD) is a solo owned developer. He runs his own process of this project. He had stated that this game is a four to six years project. How I see this that this game will be a big game. Also impressive how BD doing all these tasks for the project. Looking at other games, the developers partners with few people to help build the game. There is nothing wrong going either directions. There are always PROS and CONS for solo and team development for game projects.
I am sure that BD is doing his best to get his rhythm back after very months. Give it time and I am sure he will. When that happens, I am sure he would start doing smaller updates that he can release more often. Mean while, we just need to give BD his space and time to recoup his rhythm.
Have a great day.
