what if this is the game and we're all already playing it

That would explain a lot, wouldn't it.

Unholy fucker of mothers, it's still going?

I mean if something comes out my body and brain are gonna do a lot of things they don't normally do, just from the shock of it, but come on.  We've been to this rodeo before.

The big dev post with lots of cool words and screenshots but nothing to actually show anything is happening.  We've done that like ten times at this point.  You can't seriously be taking it at face value.

I seriously, seriously hope no one is taking this at face value. As many posters have said - I'm not trusting anything until I have stone cold code in my hands.

With enough work and polish, it could have been a forgettable flash game on Kongregate.

Since I can't seem to get a refund, it would be nice if it came out at least.

I'm not getting hyped. But honestly watching you guys either doomsay or pat yourselves on the back for doomsaying or doubling down on your doomsaying is way, way more entertaining than the game can possibly be at this point.

Maybe we owe that guy that was calling BS on this game a year ago an apology.

We don't. He was probably right about this game and it's devs, buuut.... on the other hand he seems a little too fond of right wing conspiracy theories, so...

Not to mention people called it dead WAY before (try 2 years ago)... so is this just low quality bait?

*sigh* I think most peeps began to think it was dead or at least a slow-burn project years ago, but people keep trying to dig information up to reveal x/y/z--to see whether or not it was a scam in the most recent case--etc. and it brings everyone back, and then some people (like me) get mad because no actual new information is discovered, no real updates are ever issued, and it just adds to the muddied death-quagmire this game has slowly been sinking into since the beginning. It's just a testament to how good of an idea this game was that people can't accept that regardless of what the Dev's progress/vision/intent was: it ded.

If the Dev is still posting stuff about the status/progress of the game it's not dead-dead. It could be a lie with no actual progress, but that's not the same thing as an actually dead project.

Sometimes I think the rush to label it dead is more for the individual's sake than an absolute reflection of reality.

It's basically this, only, because they liked the idea so much and bought in wholesale, since it hasn't produced anything tangible yet, the only solution is to call it dead. It's the only way to reconcile liking the idea with the reality of it being a year+ behind and on shaky ground at best. Even a "True Fan" would have a hard time standing behind it at this point.

Lots of games end up releasing after more than a year's delay. Few of them end up being very good, but you can hardly call a bad game "dead".
