ITT: Shit that /v/ shilled and never got proper release
>tfw dev went full sjw
>you didn't buy starbound
I shilled for Evolve because hunt is a fun gamemode.
This was before I figured out hunt is the only gamemode and everything else is just hunt +.
I was defending dragon age's 2 demo on /v/ when it was getting laughed at. And then the full game came out and I bought it and immediately regretted my decision.
>>340129497
What happened to it?
>>340130160
How is that even possible? I played the demo for 5 minutes before I knew it was total shit.
>>340130291
Took the money and ran.
its even worse because its actually a fun game. Shame jewire did everything to kill it
>>340130291
apparently games continuing to be developed are considered "dropped", just like Cube World
thanks /v/
>>340130291
It was an Early Access game on Steam with a projected completion date that was longer than several months.
So inevitably it became an abandoned project, or had an arbitrarily named "1.0" update (I'm looking at you, Squad) and "ran with the money".
Simple economics tells you that Early Access is a god damn joke to that scale.

The reason publishers have so much power is because the massive AAA releases that the casuals crave require more budget than anyone can bankroll.
Also trusting any developer with managing their own spending and deadlines is product suicide. That's just not how shit works, if you were older than 16 and had a job in the tech industry, you would know this.

This.
What gives publishers so much power is money. Very few developers can completely fund their own game. This is why Activision and EA are popular publishers, they have shit tons of money. Bungie would've never been able to make Destiny without having Activision as a publisher or even make Halo without the financial backing of Microsoft. Developers are not rolling in the dough, that's the publishers.
>>340138347
Then go rile up the anons like >>340138314
>>340130447
There's more to it than that, there's fundamental balance issues or generally bad game design that needs to be fixed.
Ever wondered why they said they put in breakable lights to counter camping? And why they made welding useless by making doors break permanently? Yet took the time to design this system that teleport zeds all over the place if you decide to run?
What a mess of a game.

>He doesn't know you can play it isometric
Toady is building an engine, there's other people working on additional interface (therapist, etc) and graphics (stonesense, etc).
DF engine updates before extras.
If anything, he'll eventually implement an API for people to build interfaces with the engine rather than bother making his own interfaces and graphics.
Waste of time when you've got no employees to do them.

But there are execptions all over the place to avoid someone losing more then what they should. If you marry someone poor shes not suddenly gonna get 50/50 no matter what because the law protects that from ever happening.

this
dude realistically needs to sell the development to a bigger company or someshit
i know they've got like 5 people working on it now but its still glacial progress
the world they're visually creating is great, but theres fuck all "lore"/fleshing out of the backstory and the dynamics between all the races
they might have a solid idea of where they want to take it since they've been working on it for fucking years, and hell they might have it all planned but not written out, but in game there's sweet fuck all story. Which isnt inherintly bad but like.
Shit you could even have a very basic build a level, have characters patrol it or some event happen and just have his art guy draw a small 1 page strip for why you're there and what to do.
Saying that reminded me that they did indeed have a fairly good length comic/ visual story i remember reading a long time ago.
It just seems like it needs a good kick up the ass, the way the game works is bloody stellar.
It plays fast, therees dynamic gore splatter and very tight hit boxes and damage models. The different races all have their unique properties that fit both thematically and in gameplay. theres varied weapons
All they fucking need is some competent writers that the dev(s) lay the whole idea out to, let writers work on a few barebone stories and see what sticks.
I suppose the game doesnt need a story but from what i remember from the comic theres some potential to explore the world a lot more.
I think it would be so fucking cool being able to travel to and from well crafted little towns doing small quests and hearing the goings on of the world, having a dozen hours ingame to mess around, get some currency and i suppose gear up or do some witcher type quests. Then 12 hours in shit gets real and i donno the wolves have mobilised and are readying for war.

I'm being completely honest when I say he fell in with the 'indie dev' sjw crowd.
One day he's working on the game, then he suddenly is giving talks about procedural animation(a giant hard-on for him) and jumping on a weekly podcast.
He fell in with that circle of game developers that never actually finish their work but spend so much time talking about it on popular social media that it looks like work. Let's not forget they keep taking preorder of course.
