Is this abandoned?

[itsevaaa]

There's been no updates since May and before that the previous update was in March. Both were mostly small bugfixes and building tweaks (and I guess a scenario editor).

Any news on development progress or an upcoming update?

[The Silence]

The game is not abandoned, the devs have been extremely quite, however the publishers is working on getting some information out to the community. Hope this helps

One of the folks from Paradox Arc (the publishers) has been discussing the matter on the game's discord. The short summary is that they don't know of any reason why Rocket Flair would have abandoned StA, but RF haven't been communicating with them any better than with us in the community.

So, the publishers are aware of the issue, and looking into it, but there's no definite answers available as of now.

Someone tell them to pull their finger out!

That's extremely distressing, the publisher is a big time partner so...no word to them either? that's just...negligent.

I suspect some foul play may actually be happening between the two... Just not sure on whose side. Maybe the publishers are withholding funding, so the developers are stalling? And maybe it's the other way around... Who knows... Strange regardless.

Well the rep from PDX doing damage control on discord said that they reached out yesterday, so give it until the business week starts up again to check for a response.

Yes. It is abandoned. No active developer would allow this "abandoned" conversation to go on this many months without response. Everything else is just wishful thinking. People should put together class action lawsuits against developers who keep asking for money on products they are not finishing.

[Wulfgaar]

yep abandoned and dead.
The developer is working on his new project "Dynasty of the Sands"
You can see it on SteamDB in Update History

[Dracuras]

Looking at the update history for DoS it seems in May they secured a publisher for it and have switched gears so its their main project. Hope they come back to StA or at least have a few people still working on it in the background but this is a bit of a troublesome situation.

[Cryten]

If that bears out it is somewhat laughable. As the devs launched this game as a early alpha with intentions to flesh it out, but after many months all we got was balance tweaks and 1 new addon building. They didnt even add an end game.

Still I am sympathetic in one regards, this game did not get enough sales to fund a team in active development. So the idea of trying to replicate a long supported game like Rim World or Dont Starve was beyond their resources.

[Sir Rudy]

yes. It is abandoned. Notice the absolute silence from the developing company. Do not buy this game

[Asuzu]

This EA crap is starting to become annoying af.
How many games release in half-finished state, then they see low sales and drop it?
This is ridiculous.

This.

little ones have patience, I know it can be hard. Also remember there are zero guarantees in such things. Yet compare the two, complaining over patience. Which do you understand will give you the best experience as you hope for change? Of coarse balance can be beneficial, yet all the complaining in the world is going to do you very little to make anything positive occur. You do realise that this is a sister company to a fairly rich one right? The game also has had a lot of work put into it, and with the proper coding can be patched to something worthy of the other two biggies in the series per se. Just my opinion!
