Donkey crews words of promise

[Landstander]

"There's a reason we didn't change our name. We're still Donkey Crew, we have been for 8 years, that's us. They took our game away, I'm not letting them take our name away too. For the record, we have nothing to do with them any more, we're proud of what Last Oasis is, and we will restore our name."

do you guys think we can trust them?

[Monde]

I dont. I was really enjoying the game until I saw who made it and the Publishers. No trust and not wasting my time on a massively potential vapourware / abandoned game. Really good games out there at the moment to spent my time on. If in the future they show they will work on it and it will be a real, proper, completed game that is released then I will relook.

I'd say wait and see how it goes. Currently I can't trust them since they permanently banned my main account for talking about that other publisher that DC clearly has no involvement with despite Bellwright being listed on their publisher page (off-topic). Not to mention clicking on the DC dev link on the Bellwright store page directs us to said other publisher.

I hope Bellwright does well, truly, but DC has been burning through good will like a forest fire on a windy day.

[Landstander]

yeah im also hoping but not betting as well.

[Lurid]

Easy solution:
Don't buy into any early access if they go that route.
Wait until the game is out and see what they do.

[Zandy man]

Once can be a mistake but if they do it again with this one then forever no.

Business is brutal. Every business has ups and downs. Lets see what happens.

Devs do need to be vocal here, i think its good for players.

Been following the progress of this group since their mod of CRPG on warband - subsequently taken over by another group in bannerlord.

They have good ideas, but have issues executing them. Of kings and men, last oasis.

Maybe the approach to a single player game vs a multiplayer one will be what they need to get off the ground and redeem themselves.

That's the optimist talking, I'm still reserved to spend more money on their games until they release a finished product.

*edit*

Okam was incredibly fun, but there was issues between them and the publisher from
What I remember. Shame the game never got where they wanted it to be.

So this is where Donkey Crew went to. FFS how many games this company going to ♥♥♥ up before they just hang it up. They ruined LO. LO was super popular and a fantastic concept. I dotn understand how a company could deliberately ruin a good ting. Perfect example of a company that says they listen to their community but then blatantly ignores it.

LO would still be an active game today had the developers just addressed the 2 major things killing the game with the games existing mechanics. LO would still be a populated game if Clan cap was smaller, if clan caps on tiles were severely enforced and if they had PVE tiles. BAMM!!! ...easy fix.

Plus there was the flop they had prior to LO, lets not forget that.

So what will be different this time around? Well for one its a PVE game so it wont attract most of the player base LO had. After that you can probably expect another abandoned game in a few years.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 500+ hours playing Last Oasis and definitely was worth the $30 bucks worth. The big problem with Last Oasis was the toxic and whiny player base and the Dev's making huge changes to placate them.

I thoroughly enjoyed Bellwright demo although there were a couple of issues that need to be polished. Was sad that they took the demo down, but can't wait for the release of the full game. Keep up the good work Donkey Crew!

Hope for the Best, expect the Worst and you'll never be let down.
Fingers crossed DC can get this running, I had a lot of fun in Last Oasis for the first 2 years.

[ShadowRune]

They already dont care about a potential community, pulling the plug on the demo early. I came home after work today to see its been pulled. If that isnt a sign for you, I dont know what is.... I'll pass. these guys are idiots. Restore what? So they admit to being ass's. No shocker there.

[space witch]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

What happens if they fool you three times?

Why dont you come clean and admit you are here at the behest of the dev team.

[Hurricane432]

What? So a gamer that says a business has its ups and downs, and that devs need to be vocal, means I am here at the behest of the dev team. Man this world is strange at times, at how people think.

But it's funny watching you cry about asking the dev to bring back the demo or release an EA abandonware. Same way we are just asking the Devs to send a note about the faite of their previous title.

Just be patient, you'll get an answer in ~6months, that's their average response time.
