Game abandoned?

No updates still? How sad is this?

Announcements and actually doing something are two different things.

game is officially abandoned (has been for a while). however, the modding team behind the ACE mod have technically continued development of the game in a sense

[Eagle_of_Fire]

This game is done. Not as abandoned... As finished. The devs aren't even around anymore and there is no team around left to even care about this game as they've been bought and integrated into other Riot projects by now.

As it been mentioned the devs left the door open for the ACE mod team to continue improving the game via that mod. If that's something that interest you. Personally I find the vanilla game one of the best of its genre by far.

The announcements very clearly state what's happened with the game, charting exactly the state it's in (all official work on the game completed, community continuation mod ACE underway with full support of the dev team, and original dev team disbanded), how and why that happened, literally everything you might want to know about the state of the game was thoroughly mapped out in those announcements.

That's why you should read the official news announcements as a first step before you go asking questions that you can answer yourself, or relying upon the word of random internet strangers.

And if you want to pull some bs about "just because they say something doesn't mean they'll go through with it" whenever you ask a question about the state of some game that you haven't bothered to do any research about... then you aren't really asking out of concern for the game, are you? If you care about a game, you'll make at least some effort to follow its development and maybe help out with feedback. If you're just going to assume that every game you buy will let you down, you're creating a self-fulfilling prophecy and honestly the best thing you could do for everyone would be to buy games and completely forget they exist from that point so you can be a kind of accidental angel investor/funding program without the usual "but I bought the game so I'm entitled to [blah blah blah]" crap that drags so many in-development games into Early Access hell.

Exuse us, if we see LAST announcement in 2018, and NOTHING has been done SINCE. Exuse us for being just a LITTLE BIT sceptical.

Do you even read or understand what you just said?

[Shardforge]

Very sad. I remember seeing my friends play this game and they all stopped due to a lack of updates. A lot of us would play this if there were more updates, even if mostly just bug fixes.

[Eagle_of_Fire]

Words cannot express how much I'm facepalming right now.

I don't want to sound like an ass (even tho it's about impossible here so I apologise in advance) but there is no way to say this without sounding rude: The game is done. It won't receive any more updates. Ever.

ACE is the only thing which is still actively being developed.

If you want to understand why, maybe read those stickied threads?

Yes, because this mess of crap, that lags if you hit 20(TWENTY!!) people is clearly FINISHED. Yes. Very much not abandoned, "finished" game.

[Eagle_of_Fire]

Yeah. Had to give the benefit of the doubt. But I can clearly see where this is going now.

Frigging trolls...

Freaking. DUDE. PLAY the this stupid game. IF game starts to freeze when you PLAY it - the GAME is f*cking broken. If YOU consider ME a troll for stating FACTS? Well, you must have done impressive mental gymnastics to validate it for yourself. Nice job.

[Eagle_of_Fire]

Facts: I play this game with 40 hearthtlings while you whine about 20.

[Sugarfoot]

You're both right. The game is done, finished, and no more updates. But the fact that the game bugs out at a higher level of hearthlings is pretty disheartening. I love this game, but I cannot progress beyond a certain point without it bugging out. I was playing on a slightly older computer but this doesn't feel like the kind of game that i should need a faster computer for.

B*tch, you want to see my stream? Get lost. If having 5 fps is WHINING - then I don't know what COMPLAINING is.

Who said I don't believe you? That's not the point. The point is that you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ CPU. I don't know how many times I said it. I welcome you to read other threads, which is like the 4th or 5th time it is said in this thread now.

This kind of game (strategy/simulation) is exactly the worst kind of game in term of CPU requirement. I simply can't understand why people like you think the opposite. It has always been like this. Anybody who ever played DF for example know that whatever they do they are going to eventually get slowdowns because there is so much stuff going on in the background... And there is actually no graphics at all in DF. That's actually how games of this genre work.
