Updates?
Scrollwheel sensitivity, add a number textbox. 5 minute job.
Peaceful mode, if set then don't spawn spiders. 10 minute job.
Simple things like this.
There are no changelogs for this game.

The kickstarter promised only trivial aesthetics like designing your own 4D creature.
People want a beta version.
People want something tangible, not promises and yes-men.

I would gladly buy this game, if I had any proof that it was being worked on.
Yes, there's a Discord. Yes, there's you acknowledging suggestions.
Where's you actually doing stuff though?
It's not that you don't do it, it's that you don't show it.

Make regular updates with at least a few of the suggestions made by the community.
Stick to a schedule. Your kickstarter failed for a reason, and it's not because the idea is bad.
It is not because "they didn't see it in time".

I found these. 23 April to 7 May, 2 weeks, what did you do?
I have to guess. 9 May, settings were added. Finally, scroll sensitivity.
That took you a month?

It's not like you don't have access to a community full of people with expertise in various areas to literally work for you for free per request.

Sorry, but not sorry. Hope you and your community can accept constructive criticism from disgruntled folk without immediately projecting character defects, taking offense and dismissing reasoning. A few of your moderators decided to call me names in the Discord, which went from 'nerd' to toxic' to ";) haha ur bothered", so I left.

Love the idea.
Having Goa music for this trippy game was hilarious and vibey.
Something tells me you made this yourself somehow lol

Played this for 25 hours, will be looking forward to progress.
Hoping this doesn't become another one of those
"Sorry guys! I can't make it, but we had a good run :-)
I have more to do in my personal life bla bla"

Sincerely, toxic disgruntled nerd with a lot of blunt, tough love.

P.S. Yes, both 'Easy'-difficulty and scrollwheel sensitivity settings have been updated.
Examples of repeated simple suggestions, things that shouldn't have taken weeks.
P.P.S.
If dev is hotfixing and working on performance, let the community know. :shrug:

That being said, why choose those things _over_ simple features that entertain the community?
You know, the community that the dev is so overtly claiming to try and cater to.

Just saw a 5.2 MB update, not sure how small this game is for that to be noteworthy or not.

It is a good point to make. It would help us keep a log of what changes and what not. What issues have been discovered and addressed. And, if a problem is introduced (every time that you fix a bug, you produce three more), then people can possibly pinpoint as to which version may have had the bug start.

Maybe the developer makes his own changelog that hasn't been shared to the public, or discord. Maybe it's due to it always being changed.

Unsure, obviously.

Wishing the best since the idea seems nifty.

Last update was 9th of June 2023. It's 4th January 2024.
That's 209 days.

Least the dude could do is actually use Steam to talk about his game rather than explicitly using Discord.

286 days with no update.

What has been added in 2 years: Lighting, a bush, crouchwalk.
Beyond this, no new blocks, no mobs, no mechanics, no music.
Could've added a block or two. Maybe some planks. I bet I'm not the first one to suggest it.
It's that easy, but dev just doesn't wanna do it.

why does it take him so long, I bet notch would have been done. is making a 4D game that complicated, is this a side project, is this just a game he does for fun, does he notice the people? I dunno what he is thinking.
Samuel The Viking Nov 17, 2024 @ 1:02pm 
probably not interested in it, I read the whole thing and off. I like this game. but it is not being updated.
Stuff222 Nov 18, 2024 @ 12:35pm 
the steam version isn't being updated for now but there is a patreon version which will be up to date.
a recent version added water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOXRQ60lOvc
and another added lava https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6VUORQJxyiM

Hahaha, yeah, that's what some Patreon owners think, and it works.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
