3+ years in early access
When exactly is anything substantial going to happen outside the occasional "new fencer" update. The VR support was disappointing. It has been well over a year ago we saw a very crude bit of footage from something resembling a campaign.

Is it just going to be 3 more years of this or when is the ship supposed to strand?

I mean, there are consistently new free characters being released and updated.
It's Early Access, but it's a fully functioning game my dude. What do you even want?

You literally reiterate what I wrote in the OP and ignore the part where I ask for more substantial updates.

Even for the average steam forum user this reply is dumb. Try at least a little bit next time.

It's a labor of love made by like what, one guy? A small handful of people?
The ♥♥♥♥ kind of response did you expect?

Now we're going into deranged toddler level of stupidity, but I'll humor you.

Kubold is a small motion capture studio of 3 people when I read about it several years ago. Not sure what your random misinformation has to do with anything I said.

The game has been in development for 3, almost 3,5 years now - and nothing has changed from it being an offline client with what essentially amounts to a practice mode. The fencer updates are quirky and nice but bring the game no closer to a coherent product.

We've also seen very crude footage from a campaign a very long time ago, but even 1,5 years later I've seen no official update appear of it on my feed.

So let me repeat myself: when is the game going to see substantial updates? Also don't even bother replying because you'll fry that 1 braincell.

It's almost like humor!

Good on you for mercifully sparing the 1 remaining neuron though.

Factorio had 10 years of early access. VR support was not more than meme. I guess we are on half
Jesus, just delete the game and forget about it. Come back in two years and see if anything has happened.

According to the image in the Steam front page, there are still 3 characters that need to be added into the game. The developers said they will focus on the story mode once all characters have been added into the game.

Each of the included characters uses a unique fighting style, so the animations for each fighter need to be recorded using motion capture. In addition, the developers are scanning historical clothing to make the game as historically accurate as possible. According to the updates on the forums, Twitter and Youtube the game is making steady progress and I do not think that it's all smoke and mirrors. Nowadays videogames have a very long development cycle, and remember that the game is mainly being developed by a single person.

The lore of Hellish Quart is set within the universe of the novels written by Jacek Komuda, if you would like to know a bit more about the story/lore of the game I recommend you to check the books and TV series:

The only deranged toddler level of stupidity I am seeing is this ridiculous, trolling thread.

Most games take far longer than 3 years to develop. This day and age of early access has spoiled people like you. How tf would you survive in the days when you waited years for a FULL game, without getting a chance to play it early, and it still have bugs and issues to sort out at launch?

You're acting like a crybaby manchild.
is like u have no idea how a game is done, and u even think that ur responses are smart

I've literally spent 6 of my years as a game developer...

The thing with Kubold is that their active team seems to be extremely small - but there is also no direction to this project whatsoever.

I have to agree on one thing.

A public roadmap would be nice. But beside that, I am happy with what I got since I bought the game. 3 more of the remaining characters, more stages, balance updates, the bossfight and at least some tiny story parts through the "arcade mode"

Granted, but Factorio was a coherent product for at least 7 of those years. HQ is still a demo product at best, even after a whopping three years of early access development.

You do realize that the game is in almost the same state as it was when it released right? No single dedicated company would be able to get away with so little in so much time. It's clearly just a hobby project to the studio and honestly that's fine, but it's now been over 1.5 years ago that we saw some footage of what the game "would become". Yet nothing further has ever been said about it from what I have seen.

The game is still just a demo. Only now with a few more fighters. 3.5 years later.

You don't seem to have played it then lately because the arcade mode for instance which introduces us the boss fight and some of the story was a big update and is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to lore that will be introduced.
