Is this still being updated?

So is this ever going to be finished because i've completed as much of the story as I can which is basically ending with the two mercs you fight and i've read on other sites that this game is never going to be finished in which if that's the case lower the price tag

yes the game is still being updated, no its not dead.

Anyone who tells other people "the game isn't going to be finished" clearly isn't paying attention to the devlogs the devs keep releasing to keep us informed.

Right now the game is planned to be fully completed by 2025, and currently, if you look at the roadmap they have on their site-

we just finished the "Monster Migration" update, which was focused on polishing the last of the combat and dungeon features such as ability ranks, new enemies, and fast travel. the NEXT update, the "Darkwood Update", will add an entirely new dungeon (named the Darkwood- its in the name) and with it MORE new enemies and an entirely new party member.

AFTER the "Darkwood Update", we'll have "Rooks Respite", which will add a bit more to the dungeon, and will feature the next major section of story content.

the TLDR is this- The devs just finished overhauling a lot of behind the scenes mechanics and finishing up implementing the last of the combat mechanics, and they're about to move onto releasing a new dungeon, and AFTER THAT they'll be releasing the next chunk of story.

If you mean the Monster Migration update including new monsters from the Wolf and Holstaur breed then yes, it's out. Their reason for delaying the update is still questionable though. The whole Unity thing was maybe well over a month after their first Summer update part 1. Part 2 (the Migration update) they said was gonna come out in about 2 weeks or so in July, yet here we are.

...?

They told us why the update was delayed in the September State of the Code, and it had nothing to do with unity- they admitted they fell behind schedule because they were struggling with balancing all the new combat ranks, and to try and make up for the time loss for future updates, they hired a new programmer.

The only time unity came up was in the same state of the code, and all they said about it boiled down to "We're too deep in development to change engines, but luckily at the time of posting unity looks like they're not going to go through with it".

and secondly, I went back to July to check part 1 of the summer update, and all they said about part 2 was "We hope to get part 2 out in the next couple weeks." It wasn't a promise or a set deadline. so while it IS a bummer it took so long, it was understood that it might not come out within the hoped time frame.

I find interesting how this game still no finished after so many years, makes tons of money every year, you could easily makes a few games with their income, this game is a milking cow, there is barely any changes from 2 years ago to now, only fixes.

waiting to see someone argue this, also sucking developers D while they are at it.

The game tries to do too much at once and ends up delivering too little everywhere. Prior to the "State of the Code" video there was pretty frequent updates. It's ground to a halt this year. Most NPCs that seemed to be intended as romance partners are practically placeholders still, the farmstead is also lacking serious content and interaction with your monsters, and the Dungeon related stuff is really the only part with depth.

I personally disliked the combat changes also. Felt unnecessary and overall a waste of time making the game harder than it needed to be.

Anyone happen to know how many people are in the dev team/studio? Seeing what the patreon pulls in a month, I'm curious to see how it divvies down to per person.
