It's been a year now since any meaningful update was added to the game.

[Mundus]

This is ridiculous. And don't give me the "patience" or "it takes time" bs. It's not one guy. Not to mention the last update on anything was in december. It's now been essentially six months since any actual progress update.

Tf is going on? This isn't a one man team making a AA game, it's a tiny indie project receiving updates so infrequently they're as bad as VOID updating and communicating on RON.

This is stupid.

Is a year not patience enough to ask for an actual update?

See how powerman ignored my comment in other discussions. I said that the update is coming, but it'll be nice if the dev would post some news about it on steam. Now powerman's just making stuff up to feed his own delusion by saying that people will ignore it and think it's fake which is clearly not true.

I think it's best if we just ignore him and leave him to his own delusion.

Hmm..... They shouldn't waste to much time talking to steam forum. Most of the time its same complain if you ask me.

Since this game is not a Gacha or a MMO. So it shouldn't be updating fast like every month like those Gacha/MMO games. Even if it does. It become more of a quantity over quality. Basically to many of some thing that you won't be using most of the times. Often you end up ignored it.

There are many early access games out there that's not a Gacha or an MMO that still get frequent updates AND some of them got updated every month.

Corruption of Champions 2, gets constant update every month, you don't see people complaining about updates on that one. Hero's adventure: road to passion, a game that stayed in early access for just 9 months and still get free updates till this day. Tale of Immortal, was an early access game with regular update and banger trailer, although the game still has issues, you don't see people complaining about no update. Immortal life, was an early access game with regular update every month and still get free updates after release.

Those are niche games that aren't that popular worldwide compared to worldbox. Also, they're cheaper and have way more content. It's quite eye opening that there are a lot more competent devs out there that can put out frequent updates for an early access game.

After doing some fact check on those games. Actually there are people do complain about update stuff on those games that you talk about. Turn out that you didn't notice it at all. Quick search web browser.

(Corruption of Champions 2). People whining about didn't get the update that they want it. That basically it.

Tale of Immortal does have people whining about no update for 2 months.

Immortal life also have a user making a thread saying no update and whining about it.

At a certain point, they're gaslighting their ENTIRE fanbase, especially with that BS news update in December. This has been such an enormous disappointment. It's time for another developer to show them how its done and use this concept with a better game that has creators who actually care working on it.

[power man]

early access = frequent updates
idk why this is the first thing that comes to mind with certain ppl when they buy early access.....like rofl......they even warn you about updates that may be slow because stuff takes time or that the the game is "incomplete" dude

I appreciate the fact that you took the time to look into the games that I mentioned unlike powerman who kept shouting at people without even providing any example to further the discussion. However, I will prove you wrong about your answer.

For corruption of champions 2, people is mostly whining about a character that's supposed to be a party member, but then got cancelled because of some controversy. It's not about people whining about no update because the game got updated basically every month.

Tale of Immortal got out of early acccess, so they plan to chill on the update. If you look at the date about the post you mentioned, it's September 21st 2023 and if you look at the news, there have been multiple updates since then. However, the game is not free of issues just like I mentioned.

Lastly, you're wrong about Immortal Life. If you look at the date, that was back in march 2023 when the game was still in early access and there's already a solution about the problem mentioned by another person responding to that post. There are a lot of updates that follow until eventually the game got out of early access.

That was what I expected of early access games. Buggy, unpolished, and unrefined features that will get fixed when the game finally released. No one complained about no updates after such a long time because the dev is actually showing the fruit of their work. It made people excited to play the game.

Yes although the update may be very close, however I must say I lost my patience in March already...

Thank for explain thing in detail. It still base on the word no date and some people still want more any way. For some reason it make me think of that (goose game). I though it was interesting to find if there any thing wrong with the game it self. I bet I could find some thing. But it will be some thing else instead not relate to update stuff.. It but will be more likely relate to game play problem instead.

I would like to point out some things you are missing here.
Corruption of Champions 2 is a text based choose your own adventure.
Hero's Adventure: Road to passion is an open world rpg.
Immortal Life is a Farming sim.
Tales of Immortal is a simulation of becoming immortal.

Notice something? The above games are all designed to where the players interaction only causes 1 effect. CoC 2 you move to a location, choose a option for your character, possibly get laid. Hero's Adventure, you move to a location or interact with an npc, or any of that, it will only cause a single effect. Immortal life and tales are the same in that aspect.

World Box however has hundreds of effects from 1 player interaction.
Player makes a whole world hand drawn.
Player puts all 4 races on different land masses.
races build up.
At first these seem like single interaction points till we get to...
Player puts a demon (a single one) in each races kingdom.
Suddenly: Dwarf kingdom is reduced to 1 person before demon is killed, humans who have many people declare war on dwarves, Orcs declare war on humans, elves make alliance with humans, dwarves make peace with humans, humans all die in war to orcs, elves all die after a random fire wizard appeared. Orcs very weak after war with humans, Dwarves make alliance with orcs. Peace remains for 2 kings both races, orc king dies, new king who is a warmonger breaks peace and declares war, dwarves kill him, burn the oldest city in the world which was the orc capital to the ground, orcs attempt to declare peace. Unable to as dwarves kill last orc.

all of this to say, you are complaining about update time, and even going so far as to bring into question the competency of the devs, when your comparisons arnt even on the same level?
You are literally comparing games that all rely heavily on scripted events, vs a game with no scripted events that computes and keeps track of every minor piece in it's world at 1 time. Literally updating this game must be hell and back because any little thing not accounted for could mean the game not working at all.

Oh and your "these games have more content then this" little comment. You understand this game literally is a sandbox? the content is based on your input, that is what limits it for you. If your going to even try and complain about content amounts, stop playing sandboxes, its really clear you prefer rpg's and dont have an interest in a real sandbox if your going to even try and complain about that/

No communication? What are you talking about? They literally showed off one of the new biomes literally last month. 1 month ago. The melting clock Biome which we hasnt heard anything about before. Also the fact it was the first time we saw the monolith doing anything.

They showed off a biome one month ago, bravo.

What do you want me to do, give them a medal?

I was mostly stating how there has been communication. no so much the level of the content shown. But as others have pointed out, its not liek the devs have abandoned us. I will agree though they really need to post some of these announcements here.

I see. Genuinely, I mentioned those games because they're an example of early access games that have somewhat succeeded in delivering the updates to keep players satisfied. It's really hard to make a comparison about games similar to worldbox's sandbox and simulation because there's just no early access games like it. Before writing my comment, I thought about comparing it with other sandbox/simulation games, but I don't have enough data to compare because those games are not early access and already released as a full game.

However, I don't think I can agree with some of your points here. When you said scripted events, I imagine that it needs more development time to craft those scripted events. In sandbox games, the dev don't really need to develop scripted events because they just need to implement the mechanics to allow the players to have their own event. The problem here is that Worldbox is also a simulation game, so it's AI dependant and I agree that some things may indeed break. Truthfully, I don't expect the game to be polished and refined. They could've release an unpolished update and then fix it down the line without waiting 1 year+ for a perfect update. Players need content after all especially for a game like Worldbox.

Finally, most people that played this game either played it in the background, forget about it for few hours until they check back later, or just stay and wreak havok. There's really not much you can do as a god because the game heavily lean on the simulation aspect rather than sandbox. You can't give items to entities, you can't freely modify their stats, you can't give a proper blessing and make one character special (you somewhat can, but with limited traits without making them super op), you can't specifically order an entity to do something, and many more. That doesn't signify a lot of content and some people are even getting bored of the game.

[M&M]

I have not read all comments, but I would like to state that the increasing time of waiting with minimal updates is unfortunate, there may be a lot of confusion or failure of creativity when it comes to the team. I'm only saying this because I suspect it, not with any evidence rather than just my personal opinion. Additionally, it may also be with the war in Ukraine, as when it started, the team did take a break.

Well, on reddit they said that "we are ok" and "work on the game is going well". Though 1 year of waiting doesn't indicate that things IS going well. In fact, it indicates that there are some problems OR the dev is planning a massive update instead of releasing a bunch of smaller ones.
