What I would like to see is these shitposters develop and make their own games and post them for free on here. Then they will see how it feels to have their hard work shit on by retards that expect everything in life to be to their exact specifications.
I don't get this idiotic idea someone has to be able to make a game to criticize it. Like someone has to be a chef to say a food isn't good, a director say a movie isn't good, etc.
Besides, the problem here is that it's been set aside for a game that's in the "fantasy" genre, which there are already far too many.

Of course you're right, but there's a big difference between criticising a game and "shitting on" it, which is what Knuckle Dragger was talking about.

Also, to extend your metaphor, if you go to an Indian restaurant and spend the evening complaining about the food because you don't like Indian cuisine, that's unfair. You may well complain to your friends for dragging you to an Indian restaurant, but why should the chef be subjected to your ire when your preferred sushi or burgers were never on the menu?

I guess no recent updates according to the sites rule led to the tag but on patreon dev did say in first week of April the new update will be released
I know, i was the one that posted that info here ;)

But its kinda strange that the tag appeared after 15 month of no update right when there is an update only days away (allegedly)

But maybe if all those who complain about slow update will have try to make a game themself, they could understand how indie dev have to struggle.
Why any little thing can totally jeopardize the development of a game.
Why hearing people just whining while they don't even pay for their handwork can be completely demotivating.
And that sometime, you make decisions you think will be good, but turn out bad.
Like we said in French "la critique est aisée, mais l'art est difficile" (it is easy to criticize but hard to act).

It's not "slow development" in this case, it was not working on it in order to work on one in the fantasy category (which already has far too many.)

"Good morning!"(well, the joke gets lost in translation here, but it should still be halfway getable)
If you would have red the thread, you would know that most critics of Iondivvy are correctly(!) saying that he broke every promise he made concerning Casual Desires! For nearly 1 1/2 years Iondivvy lied as often as he could about the game, only admitting to lies he simply could not weasel out any longer.
Most other CD fans, including me, simply have zero trust in anything Iondivvy has to say and for good reasons. Even after all this time he had for the update, he once again did not release mid-March (as he promised he would for sure release, yeah right) and his end-March/first week of April promise is a bust as well, since it is already sunday afternoon of the first April week and I truly doubt he releases anything in the next couple hours.
That finally the "abandoned" has been slapped on the game is easy to explain. I am rather sure the moderators are also fed up with Iondivvy´s constant lies and obfuscation.
