Is this game STILL dead in the water?

[Khorne Flakes]

A little less then a month from now this game will have hit it's third year on Steam. I realize that almost a year ago development for this project was suspended. What I'm just wondering is if it is still dead, or that it's actually recontinued in development? Because this is getting absolutely ridiculous at this point. When I tried looking online, the only relevent thing I could find was more updates on there card game.

It's abandonware. Stay away from these developers, and any of their future projects. They took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.

Lol, clearly you've never played their past Games. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, Rampage, Godzilla: Save The Earth, Godzilla: Unleashed. These are all great-perfect games with the exception of Unleashed. It's not abandonware, it's being suspended. Look up Simon Strange/Colossal Kaiju Combat on YouTube, do some research.

I trend toward benefit of the doubt, so I'm hesitant to call the Kickstarter out as a scam, but the communication is more than mismanaged at this point. I'd accept it as dead.

I've played all their past games. It doesn't excuse what they've done to this one. It's abandonware, plain and simple.

It's only been suspended on development not abandon yet.

The environment artist has died. Causing the game to be put in suspended development. I still feel like a year without finding a new artisit is kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ though.

Oh man I remember subbing to this thread.

It hurts.

it's sad because these devs actually created some of my favorite games in the past

At this point the games corpse has decomposed and is just bare bones.

This game was funded by giant and fat fetish furries. That's all I'll ever tell people about it.

That's all it ever deserves.

Why didn't they just port all 3 of the original games to pc and modern consoles?

Still sad this game hasn't come out yet

It was a beauitful concept like Star Citizen and it still is. Personally I think the major problem that existed was with the community. Making the community come up with ideas for monsters and concepts was actually pretty genius, you essentially get hundreds of free monster concepts ranging in quality and there were some incredibly well done monsters as well as active feedback.

But the problem is eventually it just turned into "I must get my monster in the game and have it get art!" and many people ended up leaving after they got their monster in because that was their only goal

In my opinion a game company in this day and age needs to actively interact and involve it's fanbase. not only does it create brand loyalty, the attention this creates draws more people in that wouldn't have bought the game

But you also have to make sure you don't let the fanbase get too big a hold on the game and I think in part that's what happened. Once that mentailty set in no one wanted to actually do work on it, no one wanted to beta test, bug report, or help out in any meaninful way

That said the game right now is just "Suspended" and I do still believe it can come out but in all likely hood that's going to be many years off

Some really good points, but I'm doubtful the game will ever leave it's "Suspended" state until it's officially declared abandoned. No doubt by now either all or a majority of the money from the Kickstarter has been spent elsewhere(most likely on that card game and keeping themselves financially afloat). If the developers actually ever do pick the game up again, I think it'll need to be funded once more. I'm skeptical however if people'll actually put money into this project again(either that or have a publisher fund the project).
