Thoughts?

The dev released an alpha build of a promising voxel game he was working on. The amount that it blew up overwhelmed him so he went radio silent for like 7 fucking years. Comes back with an objectively worse version of the game that he was working on with LESS features and touts it as a 1.0 release. Everyone hates it and the dev disappears again

So its just not having XP that is the problem?

Absolutely fuckawful game design decisions. The most egregious example is this: your equipment only levels up for the biome it belongs to, so everything drops to level 1 as soon as you cross a border. you also lose your raft and glider and have to reacquire them

Changed up mechanics way too much and made for an overall more bland and generic game with way too much restriction, whereas the original alpha had tons of customization and exploitative elements that this version either reduced or outright removed

>used the same scam twice

How many other developers have been able to do that?

It was a voxel exploration RPG. You picked a class, explored dungeons, found loot you could enchant, fought enemies, levelled up and gained new skills, chose a specialization, found gliders and boats and lanterns, and travelled to new lands with new biomes and towns. It was flavor of the week for a while, but eventually you ran out of stuff to do, unlocked all the skills, tamed every pet, had seen every biome and dungeon.

Literally all it needed was more stuff to do and see. More different dungeon layouts and themes, more items to find, more skills to unlock and choose between. more biomes to visit, more monsters, more quests. The entire basic skeleton of the game was totally finished. It went the opposite route instead and gutted all of that.

Now, you start with all of the skills you're ever going to get, with many of the advanced or specialized ones removed - there's no levelling up any more. Instead, all of the progression is equipment-based. Enemies drop almost nothing worthwhile, though, which is lucky, because their power is randomized which means there's a pretty good chance that the packs of sheep next to wherever you spawn will be essentially invulnerable in your starting gear anyway. Instead, you have to make a beeline for the nearest NPC town and hope you find a quest that tells you where a nearby dungeon is, and then hope you don't get killed on the way there and have to run all the way back. But if you manage that, you might get some equipment to make battles less of a suicide mission, along with a "relic" like a boat or a glider.

But complete all the dungeons, and you can move on to the next land! ...Except as soon as you cross the border, EVERYTHING YOU FUCKING FOUND STOPS WORKING IN THE NEW AREA AND YOU HAVE TO FIND NEW VERSIONS, RELICS AND EQUIPMENT ALIKE. Even your boat when you enter an ocean biome. But you do get a point to level up with. You can spend it on... 1% increased lantern radius. Or 1% glider speed.

So yeah, 10/10 game.

No
>fucked up the world gen where it’s all shared but also completely shit in comparison to the beta
>remove skill tree so your skills never improve
>remove levels so the best stats you’ll get will be based on gear
So you basically to farm enemies by hoping for RNG drops or have friendly NPCS nearby do it if you’re lucky
But wait
>have feature that makes your gear useless out of the region
The only thing you can get to boost yourself are artifacts but they don’t even boost the stats that matter and don’t even work for the stats that they’re supposed to boost in most cases
Meaning after hours of progress you’ll be back to square 1 and already experience all the game has to offer

Artifacts didn’t even work for the boosts
That’s the fucked up part

Capital cities, anyone?

The dev said he had mental health issues. I always wonder if he talked himself into making the garbage that 1.0 because of it.

Give us the old build right before you uprooted everything good out of it

got any proof of your claims? the blogpost is gone afterall :^)

Can I get a refund Wollay?

Let's be honest, Wollay probably killed himself

>proof
My proof is no sane human being would take what they had in Alpha and turn it into what they had for 1.0

no :) you can look at the pictures of promised content that was never added to the 2.0 release and look forward to the next update coming summer 2028

>his reaction to everyone showing tons of enthusiasm and showering him with money was falling into a deep depression
I wouldn't be surprised. Poor frail thing

He probably died way before the release, then someone took over his project and ruined it.

let's be honest the ones with an evident mental illnes are the mongoloids that after the first year of dead silence and no update still devoted themselves to a kraut developer, absolute Jewish powerplay stole your money, hopes and dreams.

Dev had mental health issues, and was a 'perfectionist.' But in his effort to perfect the game, he kept on scrapping shit and restarting from scratch. The end result of him trying to make the game infinitely replayable wound up making it so that you literally restart the game every time you go to a new zone.

Cuck

i like it, alpha had more depth though

anyone rememebers when the devs banned and thread locked posts that criticized the game on the steam discussion by hand?

apparently pic related can cause a man suicidal thoughts and depression

I thought there was a girlfriend involved and that might have influenced the SEVEN YEAR RADIO SILENCE

also he took a good game and made it garbage because he is afraid of success and attention.
severe autism at it's best

he is a married autist

PRetty sure he was already havin issues from the pressure before the DDOS and he just used it as an excuse. He went silent for a long time before even the DDOS happened.

it was all a scam, he played with us and needed extra cash when the well ran dry, what a fucking 4Dchess move

I just lost the game

bros...

this could have been in the game but for some autistic reason he just fucked the game for his sadistic pleasure
