Dead?

[MettEagle]

Devs, do you still work on Noct?

[Dr.FragensteinM.D.]

I doubt it, they have delayed their last update for almost 11 months

[MettEagle]

Hmm, sad

[Kirathel]

They are, check the Word From Dev post. Said they were aiming for an end-of-spring release and keeping quiet until then.

[MettEagle]

Oh Nice

I occasionally host unofficial NOCT development on twitch.tv/moatdd

Wait what do you mean? Are you one of the dev's, related to them, etc?

Or are you phishing for views?

[moat]

I am one of the devs.

Thursdays and Fridays are the days I have to work on programming, and occasionally on Wednesday.

Ok. Are there any times in particular when you discuss/stream NOCT developments? Thursdays and Fridays?

[moat]

NOCT is currently the only game I am developing. There are VODs from the last broadcasts on my channel.

[Blame]

@moat is there a reason for why there haven't actually been official news for, what, over half a year now?

The game is pretty bare bones in its current state, communication with the already twindling "fanbase" is close to non-existent, and it's all been pretty much left to float in dead waters.

I am not an official employee of Devolver Digital nor a contract signee of NOCT and therefore I cannot give any word on that. I would undoubtedly land myself in hot water if I said anything that was taken as "official".

All I can tell you is that for most of this time, many parts of this game such as the input system, UI, combat systems, multiplayer code and inventory have been redone from scratch (without sacrificing the look/feel of the game). This is because in the past, most of NOCT's subsystems were made in a sort of prototype-state that did not make it easy to add or modify content and features.

All I do is keep my nose to the grindstone and code.

That said, the game is in a much better state than it was before we went dark, but I will not suggest any dates because this game development is not a job like shovelling dirt where you can say "we've shoveled 90 tons of dirt in the past X months and at the current rate of dirt shovelling, that there will be no more dirt left to shovel at X time in the future."

If you really want to see where the game is at then view the VODs on twitch or drop by when I'm working on NOCT.

Well, so long as we know progress is still going, we can wait :)

Sure, if possible I think I could drop by sometime. Where did you say the VODs are?
