Yeah, you did. Having read the post though i'm not sure how much I can blame you.
His post doesn't say what the personal issues were so it's rather difficult to determine if him nearly giving up the game was an appropriate reaction but short of a death in the family, i'm not sure how understanding I could be on that. I mean, I advocate dealing with life before work as much as anyone but nearly giving up on work isn't so much a matter of personal priorities as it is a sign of emotional immaturity. Again, that's unless we're talking something catastrophic in his personal life.
I'm glad he hasn't given up on the game but that information is more disheartening than pretty much anything i've heard on the issue so far. It just confirms that at any moment we may just lose half the development team which could mean no more updates from then on...
I bet he's just itching to take over.
LOL, I bet he is. He seems to be loving the process of deconstructing Towns to figure out where the coding issues are. If only he had access to the raw code...
Oh, speak of the devil. I just now found what I think is the pathfinding code and I know some of the reasons why it sucks. However, since it's obfuscated there would be little value in toying too much with it.
Anyway, one big reason is that it uses the actual World class to do some checks and the pathing data isn't contained in the pathfinding system itself. The world class has a huge 3-dimensional array of fairly large tile objects (9 variables per tile) and it does some method calls every time for every tile to check if you can move up from a location etc. This is bad for cache and for the amount of memory accesses needed to traverse the movement graph.
The path cost calculation is also a mess. It uses abs(dx)+abs(dy) for path cost, even though diagonal movement appears to be just as fast. So pathfinding thinks first moving in X and then in Y is just as fast as going diagonally, resulting in potentially very stupid paths. It also punishes for movement along z axis, an incorrect solution to behavior resulting from a bug.
Also, Xavi seems to like implementing stuff by himself with ArrayList instead of using other java.util data structure libraries ... not sure why, is his own version perhaps faster than what java.util.PriorityQueue provides? For some reason I find that a little hard to believe, but I haven't tested it, so...
Gimme some more time to understand all of this code first.
PS. I'm not itching to take over, I just want to prove tommy is wrong with his hyperboles about pathfinding, and obviously the only way to do it is to get my hands dirty. So let's fix this damn A* code. I'm gonna take my time though, I'm in no hurry and I got plenty of other things to do too. But I just doubled my in-game time by analyzing the pathfinding, so I suppose this is my way to play the game :P
It is always a risk supporting a product in development and more and more I feel like this one was a mistake.
Not that the "why" of it really makes any of it right. I agree, they seemed to be being very immature about it. But...
It sounds to me like he's finally starting to be mature about it.
True enough. I can only hope that he maintains that resolve but it's still not exactly a post that inspires much confidence.
As to the negative steam response being the cause, I had considered that but i'm rather hoping it isn't the case. Nearly quiting over people yelling at you is by far the highest level of emotional immaturity so I hope that was only the smallest part of the reason he nearly quit. Again, he didn't say so we can't really make an accurate judgement of that but i'm hoping that it was at least a long-term relationship breakup that the steam response didn't help with that pushed him toward quitting...
I posted this mostly in hopes that some people would slow down a bit on trolling and be supportive for the time being.(Not asking for people to stop trolling cause it is in your freedom of speech on the internet)
This is a great start in that department. If they would just address the misleading store page in addition to this apology it would be of HUGE benefit to Towns itself.
Its the spam and those going way off-topic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about parts of the game or at the devs that I'm against.
Suggestions will always go further then complaining about parts of a game. Least with a suggestion your suggestions gets heard instead of being taken as either spam or just someone complaining about part of a game. That is what I have been trying to get at.
Does this make me a troll in your eyes?
That's what I figured, but I don't see a reason to be supportive of someone making questionable choices in their business practices simply because something went wrong in their personal lives. The two are entirely seperate issues and if I had any idea what the personal issues were I might offer some emotional support in that regard but it's not going to change my attitude toward Towns.
Not that Jack was saying that (as his reply already states) but I see that one a lot. Some people seem to think the mere act of being critical makes you a troll and that the only legitimate post is one gushing with praise. It'd be pretty funny if those people weren't always so obnoxious.
Lets name what suggestions have been mentioned by the devs.

Sorry only checked who posted last, on the first 5 pages, cause I didnt want to go through 50 pages of text.
No that does not make you a troll, your touching on what I mentioned about telling people that they should think/do research before buying the game instead of buying it on a whim.
Its those that are just down right say dont buy the game, even though the person still may enjoy the game. Which if they said something like try the demo or do research on the game first and see if you like the game. It all comes down to how you word the post.
Edit:
Also have a idea what his personal problems are, but it is not my right to give out personal info about someone so that is something I'm not going to post.
Sometimes I get the impression they don't really know what this game is supposed to be yet and that too doesn't inspire confidence.
