Did the game get abandoned?

[NightGroovin]

I love this game, and have been waiting for the next big content update with junkyards and digging and more in depth sorta dungeons on the big warehouses. But its been years since even a word about the update.. Can we get some kinda confirmation that this is still in the works, some kinda teaser, or a release to bring the hype back..

[SegerSims]

I wonder the same thing

look at the official channel on Twitter, news comes out there more often than on Steam, as well as more detailed information about updates and what’s going on with the developer

What they are doing is disrespectful to the players

It's a self-fulfilling circle sadly.
Game publishers/owners don't want to funnel more money into a project that gets a lot of negative feedback.
The game then gets more negative feedback as its funds are restricted.
The game gets even less funds and developer time as more negative comments rain in on it.
Now loop this until the devs abandon the game.

Yea.. sigh. games freaking amazing. just needs polishing and a bit more immersion with the warehouse dungeons and how combat is. but yea

They are currently working on a project or something, idk what there working on, but I heard the rumors.

Sadly you can't look on their twitter unless you have a twitter account. So for most people they may as well have nothing posted.

lol that’s not true. The only „negative feedback“ is about beeing intransparent and not giving informations to the player base anymore. Otherwise we would be hyped.

But does that not go for most platforms, including Steam, that you need an account to see what is going on?

And a Twitter/X account is free, so anyone can create one in minutes.

No? Steam announcements, threads, screenshots, etc are available to view w/o account

The cost is having another account to deal with

And? making a news post on steam is free as well and has the added benefit of being pushed to the people that bought your game. You know, the people that would benefit most from seeing your news. I don't give a flying ♥♥♥♥ what the post on other sites, if they don't talk about it here on Steam in an official capacity it means absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If I have to make an account for some 3rd party site then I'm already putting in infinitely more effort into the game than the devs are at this point.

Hey one post is better than no posts
They've had 9 teasers on twitter since Devlog 25 was released, latest being in September. Half a year of silence is better than a full year

They've had nine posts on Twitter since DevBlog 25, but it can be assumed that those posts collectively were a single post, DevBlog 26, even though they weren't named as such. The timing of the posts coincides with their past Spring/Fall DevBlog release schedule, and if that history is anything to go by, we should be seeing another series of Twitter posts in the next few weeks even if they aren't called DevBlog 27. It's still a bit ridiculous the devs can't seem to be bothered with compiled news updates on Steam anymore, given that the game is only sold/playable through Steam.

I love this game but, lets be real here, this is embarassing.
Their Website has been abandoned, the Steam Page hasn't seen any communication for a Year now, their twitter is pretty dead too.

It shouldn't be the case that the Consumers have to scour for information and guess or do so much detective work just to figure out whats going on with the Project they invested money in (this is EA after all, so yes, we do have a right to know whats happening)
