Dead game?

[Xenomorphys]

Is the game dead?
No more updates, no maintenance, no optimization improvements, and the touch support is just despicable...

Kind of? Little official support but people still play it.

For a niche game it as a lot of players - 2.5k at 8.30 UK time

The actual devs have abandoned the game BUT the game has a lua scripting system inside of it that allows you to do almost anything as long as you understand lua scripting which can apply to the current instance, to models within that instance and also allow models to interact with each other (so you can say put a card on top of another object and the card and object's scripting interacts with each other to produce an extra layer of interaction) so the workshop is full of mods that keep the game alive and if you yourself know lua then you can just make whatever you want.

I mean, TTS is not a game, so it can't be "dead".

It's a blank slate upon which you play hundreds of other games. ;)

Yes, I know that I can create games myself, except that maintaining the game is not my job! It's up to the developer to do it...

Thanks, I'm aware... That doesn't mean that the devs can't update features (like a touch function that works...) Or optimization improvements...

What do you mean by "a touch function that works"? Anyway from what I have heard the game is never going to get an update because the devs signed contracts for higher royalties than they could actually afford on their licensed DLCs, then when it came time to pay up they collapsed the company and legged it and the game's development died at that point.
