If it was me doing a prank like this, I would wait release April 1st. A good joke requires commitment.
Kinda sucks, it would be the ultimate dick move even to his supporters (unless he disclosed that one before hand) but I agree.If it was me doing a prank like this, I would wait release April 1st. A good joke requires commitment.
As others have pointed out, WWG is not great at estimating when he'll be finished, but long time supporters (like me) are used to that and have accepted it. What's different this time is that WWG is NOT saying that he underestimated his remaining work. Questions like "how did one month of work turn into three?" are misinterpreting this situation. What he IS saying is that real life problems are getting in his way. He needs TIME to work on the game, but he doesn't know when he'll HAVE that time.i think the most concerning part (for me at least) is it goes from possible this month to a few months. Maybe they just want to give it a large window so people dont get antsy until the release is more final. either way back to waiting, plenty of other games to play till then.
guess that makes sense. for the record im not doubting WWG, or coming up with conspiracies, it just really surprised me. based on the quality of the game so far the dev can take all the time they need.As others have pointed out, WWG is not great at estimating when he'll be finished, but long time supporters (like me) are used to that and have accepted it.

I don't know what his problems are and they're not my business anyway, but if (for example) it's something health-related, home-related, or even law-related, then I can understand why he has to put the game on the back burner, and why he may not know when it'll be finished.
It's absolutely fair to be skeptical of all this, as we've seen numerous developers make similar claims over and over until their reputation is ruined. I think WWG has been more honest and reliable than many devs, so for now I'm going to take him at his word, and just hope whatever's going on gets resolved as soon as possible.
As somebody said "carrot on a stick", If WWG wants more time then he should say that ahead of time but he chose to mislead his crowd into false hopehoping it is april fools, but to wait till the last minute to say it will take another few months is mental, he/she knew it would take this long and should have donea a progress update a week ago to say its change.
Which other games has this happened to recently?Man, March really has been the month of adult creators embarrassing themselves huh?
That math doesn't work. A year and a half for one update is not just an increased workload. It's decreased productivity. Chapter 13 won't be the size of his first year and a half of content. I'm calling that right now. And even if you wanted to use that excuse, it was his choice to do so. He decides how bloated the chapters get, he decides not to release smaller updates throughout the year.It's been about a week since i've had to clear this up, guess it's that time again.
The cycles get longer because the game gets bigger. look at this post and the post i linked in it. it breaks down why updates take longer.

And that's a problem.... why?And even if you wanted to use that excuse, it was his choice to do so. He decides how bloated the chapters get, he decides not to release smaller updates throughout the year.
two days a week seems pretty generous....so many creators have begun doing this its such a cash grab and people need to wake up and stop defending it. They see the big numbers and decide to milk it for as long as they can. "Oooh my hard drive died" "ooh ive not been doing too well mentally"...Bro you're making $$$$ a month and basically can work for yourself, choose when you work, go on holiday most months etc,,, pretty sure every major game has slowed down production massively. Wouldn't be surprised if they barely put two days of work in a week anymore.
