I have seen far too many games fall flat in development. I would love to fund them all but I can't afford to so I guess I am waiting to see it fleshed out a little further first. Also showing us something that makes this particular game unique in a more fleshed out fashion would do the trick as well. I am willing to throw money at any game that can hold my interest long term but it has to hook me in first. So far I see great ambition and a great concept but not enough communication on overall timeframes. A general roadmap or itinerary on what is suppose to be done roughly when would help
development timing is difficult this far out. There was an issue with SpitalOS being blocked by Unity. Not one developer could have seen that nor know how the future of that came out.
I've backed Crowfall which was suppose to be a 2-3 year project is now going on it's 4-5th year. Star Citizen is much longer in development and CamelotUnchained also missed their marks. Maybe by not having a publisher pushing the release date the developers are actually building a great game, maybe it's causing them to fix everything before releasing, which means they wont release. I'd rather have a longer development time than a game pushed out in 2 years where the developers claim to "fix it in the future" because "it's a live service".
Look at Anthem. EA is pretty much done and are doing the same thing they did with another title they closed. Anthem was hyped so much at that E3 with the video they made, then it took them 2 years to make a game based off that video which was nothing like the video. they even offered a roadmap, which they couldn't stick to. they released the Cataclysm content but no media, no press, no ads, not even an email to those that played the game notifying them it was out, despite being 3 months late (that roadmap, you know).
I would rather this, I backed StarCitizen, I backed Crowfall, yeah i dont play them but one day, when the game is done, hopefully they will be amazing, in the meantime there are plenty of games for me to play while i wait. same for Fractured, I post here because I like the Foundation system, I like the community, and the discord everyone is a friendly welcoming bunch. so out of all the games (even though iv spent 400,600 on SC. Im most invested in Fractured, thanks to its amazing welcoming community. I hope it always stays this way.
