A Year later, still only 1 chapter?
I bought this game, and reviewed it a year ago... I played the entire game, did the side quests, beat the first chapter. Was pleased with my purchase at that time and set it down waiting for the rest of the game, or at least more chapters to release.

its now an ENTIRE YEAR later.... and what... nothing has been added??

Its my own fault i suppose for buying an EA title, but still... how do you make 0 meaningful progression in an ENTIRE YEAR?

When was the last time you designed a game? Progress has been made.

Wow, complete lack of comprehension on how game has progressed.
If I didn't know any better...

Back end work is MEANINGLESS to the player.

A year without any ACTUAL story progression is a BAD SIGN, and a red flag.

Doesn't matter if its a small team, that's an excuse. Doesn't matter if the budget is small that's another excuse.

Stop defending bad development standards.

Its not all backend changed. Enemy AI, combat animations, foliage, vfx, layout… read the update notes. Sure. They didnt add more story. But they refined and expanded gameplay, which is far more important than adding story fluff.
And if you wanna see content/story upgrades you can also read about the upcoming region they are currently working on in those devlog notes.

Story is literally the last thing you want to focus work on because it relies on all of the underlying things to work. If you do the story and then fix up gameplay you end up having to rework things that no longer work with your new gameplay.
But even pure back end work is definitely far from meaningless for most players. As that’s mostly where optimization comes from. Doing something in a cheaper/easier way without looking worse for the player.

Thats not defending bad dev standards, thats literally how developing games works.
Sure, there are lots of philosophies regarding game update frequency, devlog frequency and transparency about progress that you can debate, but fundamentally this is pretty standard.

And now I do know, they are either completely ignorant or just trolling for reaction\jesters. Don't feed the trolls...

I played as soon as EA came out, let me tell you OP if you had you would see how much that first area has changed, devs are working my friend, game is a lot better now.

I think they are using the first area as the template for the rest of the game, here in this little pond we will play in EA as they change and improve everything, implementing new enemies and bosses, as they already did. Once everything falls into place the rest of the game should go faster, thats my hope at least, cant wait to play the final version, and lets face it, this game will still come out faster then ES6 hehehe.

No, It means that they worked on other, also important parts of the game.

And, game development is very time consuming these days. I always said that graphics are kind of secondary, but, unfortunately, people these days disagree, so they have to put a lot of effort in texturing, making assets and models, and animations.
