What Scares me the most: Lack of information and updates

[therealPope_]

I have been checking for the past months, almost everyday, news about LNF. It is that kind of game that I know will keep me playing for hours and hours no-stop. Something that only Valheim managed to do with me recently.

The problem here is not, though, the fact that after one year the game was not release. We are pretty used by now with companies taking a long time to release new games even after announcing them.

The problem is that after the trailer that came out of nowhere, we got absolute and complete silence from the devs. Not a single word, not a single news.
This scares me the most because we'll most likely have:
1- Game released without any announcement, like "now for now"
2- Game delayed for years or maybe not even being released

I obviously hope for the first theory. But, you know..

I AM SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME PLEASE RELEASE IT NOW

After the trailer there was a noticeable marketing push for the game for a good month or so which makes the silence even more frustrating.

Agreed, give them time.

From what I understand, the game has been in development for a number of years already - but just by a small team (within the studio). So I'm kinda thinking sometime next year.

But if it ain't, it ain't and I'm perfectly fine with that.

Anyone looking for a time sink until then, I highly recommend Necesse. No, I'm not affiliated ... just love the game. Pixel graphics with base building, mining, exploration, combat and co-op (if wanted). Already sunk several hundred hours so far and it's still in EA. If you like Terraria, Minecraft, Rimworld, this should be a good fit.

If this is causing you genuine anxiety then you need to step back and rethink your priorities and find other more important things to focus on.

Maybe the game has been delayed, maybe 2027 launch has always been the plan. Maybe the whole thing will get scrapped. In the grand scheme of things it truly doesn't matter.

I don't think they will shadow drop the game. Most likely they will announce the release date three to six months ahead of time with more information. Until then hit the snooze button and check back in three months.

Those road side rest stop bathrooms along the interstates are what scare me the most....😬

How can a game without a release date even be delayed? It could be cancelled, but not delayed since there's no release date at all. They're not going to release the game without an announcement, they're going to make sure it gains attention first. A beta wouldn't surprise me. Too many people remembered what happened last time and they might want to show that this game really lives up to it's trailers.

I have completely forgotten about this game and gotten lost in Radiophobia 3. Hope we get some new info one day on LNF

But yeah at least HG ain’t going crazy with the over hyping and constant trailers this time lol

Umm you do realize the team could have had a release date in mind that they kept to themselves and then decided to delay the game because of xyz right?...

Sure, but we wouldn't know anything about that now, would we? To be scared about delays we don't know anything about is really pointless.

I DON'T want them to release it now actually but I DO want some news to let us know if they are still alive or dead in their bunker from carbon monoxide poisoning.

I wish they;d do what SCS Software does when they release a new map or big version update for the overall game which the latest so far from what I've read added a lot more depth. They focused less on maps this year and more on general updates it seemed.

Now what they do is give reveals in the form of the 'guess where we are' quizzes which are always fun followed by the actual answer a bit later.

Then after some radio silence they reveal some new industry not seen before and some new jobs.etc then more about the cities eventually followed by a dev stream showing off the map a week or so before release with a release date right after.

This is the other extreme where it's like something big happened internally and the way the economy is and the wars going on everywhere it could very well be. Our POTUS just made us a lot closer to the SHTF with Syria and it's literally biblical fitting every check mark possible all religion aside.

From both a physical and spiritual perspective major things have happened in just the last few weeks. The clock is about to run out................

[Heatblizzard]

And even more likely thing is they probably have had time to realize the logistics of converting NMS players over and figured out a lot of stuff would break in the process regardless if the actual game is broken or not. They likely want to have a way of converting NMS accounts to LNF without anything being messed up in either game and seeing a lot of problems with the transition.

As a result the devs are too afraid to tell us after the trailer hype so are literally grasping at straws to save the ship so to speak so once they go thru EVERY effing possibility they will likely come forwards saying they cannot do this game at this time but 'don't despair' if a solution comes out we will continue to work on it to not break players accounts.

IMHO if this is the case I say skip trying to transfer ANYTHING over and just have us make new accounts from scratch and the accounts not seeing each other in the slightest. Just focus on the game first and forget this account crap nonsense.

Yeah, that was my point. It could be delayed based on an internal date. I'm not scared of anything, I was just pointing out the ignorance of your post. Nice try though.

What accounts are you talking about? You don't have a "NMS Account". You can play without signing up to anything. This is not an MMO that needs accounts etc. Seriously what are you on about ?
