If you define it by the quality of the final product, despite it's full release status now, it would most likely take years to see if he succeeds or not in that regard so I don't see how you could call it a failure yet. There are sure a lot of other unkind things you can say right now, but the devs have stated themselves it will take years to include all they intend and until they are done, it's up in the air.
Well, on the bright side it seems that Xavi will likely be able to return to fully working on Towns...or at least as much as he had been before all the cancer with his wife. If things are still slow or even stopped past that point...well, it won't be good for us.
Except for the fact that when most people purchased this game on sale during the winter sale event the game was explicitly listed as still being under development. So many of us bought in to support an idea we liked, with the promise that we would see further work made on the game.
How they managed to get Steam to remove the 'still in development' notice on the store page without any actual updates being released for the game is beyond me. But as the general sentiment goes, this is a blunder. The devs could have opted to defer the Steam launch because they were well aware of several adverse conditions.
They chose to launch so they could be included in the Winter Sale Event, and now it's exploding in their face.
All the feels for the cancer problems, but launching a pre-beta game to get in on a sale event when 50% of your team is going on a long vacation in the immediate future, dumb idea.
Hopefully they actually deliver instead of pulling a Terraria, but if this sort of thing becomes more common, Steam is going to rot from the inside out. Steam succeeds for the same reason the Apple AppStore succeeds, it is a curated and well maintained mostly closed garden. Impulsive 'indie' devs that make dumb decisions are proverbial weeds.
What? I don't think there ever was such a notice there whatsoever... must be your mind playing tricks on you. :O
Yeah, the only "still in development" notice I've ever seen on the Towns store page is this one "Towns is continually being developed and updated to bring you the best experience possible!" which is still there and isn't technically saying it's still in development. I'm not sure what that guy is talking about.
Realistically now the surgery is done the guy should get some updates out, even if they are very minor fixes, just to show willing to the community and customers. People want to see the updating bar moving for towns. He doesn't have to fix the whole thing in 10 mins, but he should fix SOMETHING so people know he hasnt given up.
The problem is, when he does that, the saved games will be wiped. The save game format is only backwards compatible starting from the next version... That's a pretty big blunder, yeah, but I think that's the only reason he hasn't released the update just yet.
