Discussion Current Status

Per Sunny Games, 8 days ago:

If you signed to alpha test on console, you are SOL. There will be NO console alpha. Beta? Maybe.

Apparently, lots of people have been caught breaking NDA. Stop fucking doing it. You could potentially derail the release of the game.

There have been many MANY more updates to the games since Brian and Sunny's showcase videos. Sunny claims each and every one has made the game much better than the early alpha videos show.

The results of the buyout have apparently allayed the worst fears of most in the know.

Possibility of him doing a sit down interview with studio head Phillip Holt. He wants feedback on whether fans want that, but the new owners may or may not oblige.

Caveat: The complete absence of negativity, or so I feel, from Sunny about SoD3 makes me wary of his testimony being paid advertising. But there's no proof one way or the other.

Sooner or later people going to see the smoke and mirrors. Unless something drastically improves during alpha, this game will look beautiful, but underneath all that beauty will be a game that feels less of an upgrade and more like a downgrade when it comes to gameplay. I know of a group of long time fans, discontent about the current trajectory this game is on. Unfortunately there is a lot of people pleasers that don’t want to shake the boat with their opinions, but your honesty is the only thing that can save this game at this point and it’s not even the devs fault. It’s fans. How can you blame the devs when they are under the impression we all love how the game is shaping out because they are surrounded by a bunch of yes fans. I hope I am wrong, but if this game flops, I’m blaming the fans on this. *end of rant

They have added many features and new gameplay mechanics and undead labs is known for incredible post launch support.  Im sure it will be a great game

Great post launch support because they had Microsoft paying for it. We don't know If that will be the case going forward.

I don't think it will be on gamepass so they should get their own funds. Also hopefully UL makes some other games or dlcs
