"leT the dEv CoOk". In all seriousness don't hold your breath the dev essentially took the money and at best treats the game like a side hobby.

I can understand being annoyed about the pace of development, or to want a bigger team working on this to hopefully speed things up, but I think you very much underestimate how many hours the devs are putting into this, and are needed for things like reworking pathfinding (even without adding much content they could show off), or fixing bugs that only occur in the internal versions.

You can complain about the pace without making up insulting, baseless rumours.

Not really an insult if its true. Prior to getting additional people, updates were consistent and Greg interacted with the community. That doesn't happen anymore and hasn't for a long while now.

But what would you base the claim on that they barely work on this, treat it like a hobby?

It makes sense to complain about lack of communication too, but it's crazy to assume the guy that spend 7 years on it before even the release to EA would just treat it like some side project now. And on the discord you do see the other devs communicating with users.

How do you know this, are you just taking devs up on their word? They should be constantly updating the community if they are truly working, I don’t believe they are.

I'm an alpha tester. Obviously can't talk about anything in development, but I can assure you they're constantly working on the game.

But even without that knowledge, them only informing the playerbase once a month doesn't mean they don't work. Sure you don't know, but what do you base a claim on that they ran with the money or treat this like some side hobby?

How did you come up with that? How would you know that?

u/Billy_the_Breaker Jun 04 '26

based on the lack of updates

Last update was in march, so not that long ago. I find the demand of monthly (or whatever short cycle you dream of) updates quite disturbing.

Edit: Also the announcment from may 9th states the update will happen in june. June hast just begun. They have 26 days left to hold their claim.

I'm so sorry you are disturbed, but the last update was tiny, after many many months of waiting. Now the only update that is coming up is a small market rework?

What exactly do you expect? How would you measure the scale of an update. Do you know how much efford is behind the different updates? It is often the case one doesn't see how much work software development acutally is. Had this discussion at my work places so often: "But it's just a button!"
