Peter M. announces new game

[Ben]

Peter announced that he and 22 cans will do a new game, called the Trail.

Well maybe he+22 cans should finish Godus first.

No offence here but Peter and co persist in saying that 22cans is a small studio and they havent got this much employees so they couldn't do the PC sprint along with mobile ones, so all at a time.

Considering this I'm really surprised that it seems there is enough ressouces and time to do a completely new game?!..

bummer !

(btw 22cans can do what they want, but considering the imho miserable work you did with Godus, dont count on me to kickstart/back you again 22cans)

Guys from 22Cans ... I can promise you only one.

I will login on KS, Steam, Desura etc. Simply EVERYWHERE! where your game will be published and warn inocent people about a scamming you did with us. Lying and totaly missunderstanding.

I hope this says all what i think about Godus devolpment and OUR money to fund your "Mobile Game"

Good luck for funding your next SCAM.

Sincerely - Legend :)

PS:Who's with me?

Kinda dissapointed with 22cans :( When I first saw godus I thought that it would be amazing... Not that it isn't; I play it quite a lot but hearing that this game that I've been looking forward to is being put to the sides a bit of a shame... I WISH that you guys (22cans) will keep going with godus as I think, although I'm slowly losing hope, it could be great!

If George didn't know about it's because it wasn't that big. Godus developpement is still going really great. Peter just did a mistake by talking about his new micro project in a nowere festival. As I know the pc sprint continue so let's not alarm that fast.

"Godus development is still going really great"
Wut?
This project is not going great, its more like a huge car accident on a busy interstate where you happen to drive by on the other lane and know that you should look away, 'cause you know what you are about to see is horrible and ugly as hell and you'll propably have nighmares all night long, but dammit, you still have a look at it. This is more how I would describe it....

ugh i really knew i should have gotten a refund a long time ago. PM has already moved on to his next new shiny and this game will be left to whichever poor peon that is not in PMs favor. And this game is not even close to done.

well PM is not gettting any $$ from me and i can guarantee there will be plenty reminding any future purchasers about how badly PM handles his projects and continues to make the same mistakes

This is pretty normal as a game enters the back half of development.

First half: Get paid. Second half: Making the damn game from scratch...

I'm old enough to remember when Peter Molyneux made great games, like Black & White and Populous. Seems like a life time ago...

"According to Mr Molyneux, The Trial will set right the aspects that went wrong with Godus, his latest project under the independent studio 22Cans. The Kickstarter-funded god simulation game ‘lacked in narrative, progress and reward.’ The Trial will be out soon, he promised."

Never again...

Possible Mr. Molyneux sees the future and is prophesizing on a subconscious level.

'Trial' is exactly what you get when hundreds or thousands of people choose to move forward with a class action...

1v1 multiplayer. Giant "pets" with trainable AI, as in Black and White 2... which also had 1v1 multiplayer, right up until the last weeks before release. Those were promises... which would seem to require a year or two of full-time full-team work to implement, at the 50% in 2 years rate of progress, right?

How can that happen with the tiny team focusing on a new project? How can multiplayer work anymore at all when a cheat engine ("balance editor") has been built in?

Also I paid for a metric tonne of Baked Beans to be shipped to Africa and my sources say that they only received a bottle of Branston Sauce and 3 copies of Populus for the Atari ST - the original version with the uncensored "nippling".

Lest we forget, 22cans was founded to employ exactly 22 people (or 21 plus Peter) to make 22 SMALL PROJECTS leading up to the one which will Change The World Forever,tm.

Maybe eventually they'll promote Peter's son to CEO, it's the last best hope for peace... and he should probably change his name to Milo first, for maximum effect.

If you hate unfinished games then don't play them and wait for it to be finished before you support it.

NOBODY stated we hate unfinished games. We hate games which we get **** with cause Early Access mean Access to product which SHOULD BE FINISHED and features COMPLETED! as it was promoted that's all!

[Rilf Danielson]

I've defended 22cans and Godus a lot recently, I like Godus, I really do, and was starting to like 22cans, the game and community was moving in the right direction. But now, while goddus sits in alpha half done...you announce a new game? Whaaaat the hell guys come on Godus is on the verge of being great you JUST brought the community back to you.

This is like slapping a kid then comforting him and offering him candy and then when he goes to take the candy punching him in the face.

You obviously didn't watch or read that you tube video you posted quoted then. The guy clearly has in the blurb for the video: "Francis gives everyone an explanation of why we hate unfinished video games, using a hamburger as a visual aid". Contextually that is a question. You may not be asking it but you basicly said you agreed with it. So by agreeing you also hate unfinished games. Or am I confused by what you rosponded with?

I have not watched that video as a person confusing a game with a hamburger sounds quite boring to me and has obviously only been made to generate you tube hits for that guy.Much like thoes annoying brittsh guys (simon and who ever?) that peter was talking to the other month.

Also this game is NOT finished. You are confused about what early access means. It dose not mean access to a finished game. It means access to a game that's still being developed but has enough code to show customers the direction of the game so that features can be tested and feedback gathered and acted apon.

I'm glad that 22cans are now doing daily/weekly builds (I suspect when the sprint focus changes again it'll be back to weekly builds so that there is less headaches) as apposed to the really slow release they where doing. There is still a long way to go but it's getting better
