What went wrong?
>release feature starved game>refuse to update it>leave
>>750725963it was that sumple huh
>>750725963This. Shit hit the market, got streamed by fucking everyone, dev never updated it or fixed issues and just vanished. Based honestly, he spawned a whole genre of Banished-clones and just took the money instead of hanging around twitter dyeing his hair blue and telling people what to think for 10 years.
>>750725804>Cash in instead of gambling the luck of another gameBasedOr he might've died, who knows, he's smart enough to not plaster personal info on the internet
>>750727362>>750727514I would have liked if he finished the game at least
>>750727578Me too but hey, he started the "release a barebones indie game that isnt finished then disappear" trend. At least there are a few hundred similar games now thanks to Banished.
>>750727578It was considered finished since he was working on his "new project", doubt he would've pull a Concerned Ape where he teases a new game but only work on the first one and drown players in bloatslop while the second project rots
>>750727797>>750727705fair enough. I shouldn't have bought it but it did look fun. I regret it.
>>750727854Should've cracked it beforehandI did it and played the shit out of it before buying it, I still think it has more value as bare-bones as it is than most slop you can find on the market today
>>750725804>open blender>make about 30 in total super barebone models of some buildings, characters and a few trees and stones>spend 2 weeks making college-freshman-tier of a videogame prototype>put that steaming pile of shit on steam>never update it>make 25 mills over the next decade 100% passively without having to lift a single fingerYeah I'm thinking video game dev is based
>>750728049I wonder if there's a modding scene. But you're right - Try before you buy is the gold standard, so, my fault really for not doing it. I just feel the pain of wasted potential thinking what could have been.>>750728123Damn...so based...
>>750725804it was utterly overshadowed by colonial charter
>>750728214
>>750728123Wow, this seriously came out 12 years ago? Time flies.
For me it's Songs of Syx.
>>750728350I wanted to enjoy that but the game looks so ass, and the sort of overworld grand strategy element fucking sucks. The core of it is good gameplay though.
