are we done here

[donut32]

i like crafopia but it looks that this is the end? kind of like how epic dumped SAVE THE WORLD when the BR fortnite hit like 500M players?

Only time will tell what happens.

[Katsper]

they JUST put out a roadmap and have a separate team working on craftopia who are apparently specialized on unity (not unreal like palworld) so if nothing changes then development should continue here

[~ Fabulous ~]

They will still add the other dungeons I think

[InsertCoin]

nope not done, imagine for a moment, making more than 1 game at a time :)

They have a 2024 road map lined out on their discord for short, mid, and long term goals

if it's like other companies that made a hit with an unfinished game the execs will go on vacations then take a full dozens of millions and leave the company, or do like the companies of ark and not finish the game, release $dlc instead, abandon all of it (except updates to the main menu to put ads in it), close its servers and re-release it for full price again

And yet some of those 2024 road map goals include 2023 roadmap goals...

Goals can get pushed back. No game is a stranger to this. Hell, I'm still waiting for Phasmophobia to """eventually""" release their Horror 2.0 update.

The difference is Phasmsphobia dev's are working on a single game, they aren't splitting up their small development team to push out another game while their first game is baking.

Did you know Palworld started with a team of 4? FOUR, if you make a new game while your in EA and you start with 4 people, imagine the size of Craftopia's dev team(assuming by the pictures they've shown of the dev's im assuming it was 7) But regardless, FINISH CRAFTOPIA FIRST.

I'm gonna post something that Pocketpair posted on the reason why they stopped development on their first game Overdungeon without telling anyone.

"After its release, we have been working crazily to release patches daily to make our favorite game a finished product. We signed a contract with a publisher to that more players could enjoy our game, but it didn't work out well as opposed to our expectations, and we needed to figure out what to do.

At some point, we gave up on updating Overdungeon. We couldn't make a living with that.

Instead, we decided to start developing "Craftopia".

It really was painful for us to start the development of Craftopia while Overdungeon still had bugs. And we've always wanted to update the game. However, after hard work, we were a bit tired and struggled with our contract with the publisher to put our hands on updates."

What they said also doesn't make any sense. Publishers directly fund a game's development team. The Publisher literally pays the developers to make a game, Overdungeon has also always been Developed & Published by Pocketpair, so this feels completely bs.

I hate to say it, but Craftopia is probably done.

Are there English Discord channels for Craftopia that I'm just not seeing?

I play save the world still since the alpha days... its fun.

gaming industry is nice. "i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and didn't finish what you paid me for but you i'm a bit tired and i don't get much bonus money anymore so bye". like imagine just failing at your job and instead of fixing and finishing it you just pocket (fitting name btw) all the money and run away with it just because you feel like it, and still have the gall to complain about not making "enough" money anymore. now watch how the same kinds of people in this ♥♥♥♥ industry act when they get dozens of millions before they do the job :

- dayz, devs take dozens of millions, take vacations right away and then directly leave the company and run with the money

- ark, company takes over a billion, eat up all the money, throw some out of the window, keep scamming people, never finish anything, get in debt by their own fault and, to make up for it, double down on blackmailing the customers themselves and make them pay for it by messing the game up, removing features, spamming ads in it, and re-releasing it as another version that requires yet another purchase

-star citizen : how many hundreds of millions ? playable in 2034 when nobody cares anymore and people realize the game concept was always a failure since the beginning

and these are just 3 notorious examples. they will most likely just go from "well we ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up but we want more money so we keep what you paid us and go ♥♥♥♥ yourselves bye" to "well you paid us dozens of millions upfront but well here's a crafting station texture fix and a klingon translation bye". if someone does that in a regular job they would have to pay fines/reparations and potentially go to jail
