I am dying for this to come out...hands down one of my most anticipated games in a long time!

[Xantalos]

There's been another update in which the demo date is more pinpointed - late march to early April, I think. There's also some more art coming out which looks goddamn fantastic and eeeeee~

[Cthulhu]

Here's the update in question

The old one art is beyond anything you could expect; it's by Richard Luong who did the art for the Cthulhu Wars boardgame as well, so we've got a serious monster pedigree going on here.

I think the descriptions given are a little silly and sometimes aren't as informative as I'd like.  Though I've gone a complete 180 from thinking Limos sounded boring to thinking Limos sounds fucking awesome.  I guess I'm speculating here on what he actually is but a god whose only goal is complete universal genocide (concluding, of course, with his own destruction) is a rad concept.

I am still eagerly awaiting the release...I got the modding package...and I was the first backer I am excited lol

Ignore this guy.  He's a chud plugging his shitty blog by latching onto a nonexistent controversy and somehow(?!) trying to attach it to gamergate.

Long story short the devs plan to release a map editor to test out the various art assets but it's been buggy and the devs have had to retract several release dates.  This is hardly an abnormal thing (and wouldn't have happened at all had the devs not been transparent about their initial ideas for release dates) but a couple guys had some off-base complaints about the nature of kickstarter obligations and this dude apparently saw a chance to plug his blog and make some hilariously impotent threats and a sly implication that the game is a hoax.

Yeah, as a backer I'm not at all disappointed in the way the developers have conducted themselves here.  They've been very engaged with the community from day one, and have been very open and incredibly apologetic about the delays in some of the tools that they hoped to get to backers sooner.  They're one of the few developers I've seen who've actually talked through the underlying mechanics of the game in order to explain why their initial timetable has shifted, and I'm perfectly happy with their explanations for it.

[dennislp3]

They have said many many many times and made it very clear that the success of the kickstarter and the extra stuff they are putting in has pushed back everything a good bit....I don't see the problem or controversy

lolz

Just read the article...what a fucking joke. He is trying to make it like it is some legal crusade about how we were all mislead and lied to...sounds like someone really likes to stir shit when they get butt hurt

Though I suppose it is hard to take anyone serious when they call their blog "The Witchfinder" and they call themselves an "inquisitor". Instead of trying to make shit up and tear down start ups why not waste your time bitching about real problems the world has.

the devs have had to retract several release dates.

The article is no more than a statement of fact. A fortnight ago, we had the lead developer say this -

"The Map Builder is complete and will be in the hands of Beta Backers this weekend"

- and we are still waiting and have been for the last fortnight. Not to be harsh but we were originally promised a complete scenario viewer in November. It is true that the developers have been engaged, but so is Molyneux.

[lijacote]

Not a big fan of the Witchfinder. Strange mix of bizarre politics with games articles.

[jhxmt]

It is true that the developers have been engaged, but so is Molyneux.

Molyneux isn't directly involved in the development of his/his company's games any more, and as such his statements come from a  designer/owner point of view (which has its pitfalls, as we well know).  KDG's statements, as far as I can see, all come directly from people involved in the actual programming/mechanics up to their elbows, and are far more practical in their tone and content.  Hence I'm both more comfortable with, and more impressed with, their level of engagement with the community.

[Zangi]

Damn man, the self-title of 'witchfinder' just carries the perception that this person has nothing better to do then nitpick about shit cause they got a beef.

[Xantalos]

No, Lazycat would be trying to peddle a mod of this which is 'way betterer' which requires the game to have been released in the first place, which I don't think it has yet.

[miauw62]

If we're comparing people, I'd compare this dude to the blogger dude from Contagion.

[ventuswings]

Eh, their delay has justifiable reason, and they made clear of this fact when they proposed the idea of hex-based map upto the vote. I'll give them few months before I start to become actively concerned.

I can see where the argument is coming from though, Kickstarter is bound to foster some suspicion and it was disappointing that planned dev-logs and LP failed to materialize. Criticism under ridiculous guise of "Witchfinder" "Inquisifor" (WTF does these words even have positive connotation? I thought these were people who torture the undeserving) wasn't really the best PR stunt though, possibly. I wonder if he'll take credit if something happens soon.
