Why axolot games is a very BAD and STUPID people.

[DR.Evil]

I'll try to be more precise.

The last standard update was three years ago, when the developers improved the world of creativity (0.5.0). That was three years ago, which is a lot for the game. And the last major update (Survival) IT HAPPENED DAMN FOUR YEARS AGO. Since then, we have been receiving from the developers those beautiful pictures and GIFs with images of something very simple for what they could do during this time. A normal studio that respects its community should have released all that and a lot more cool and new content in less than a third of the year. This proves that axolotl games studio does not give a damn about its community, and all those fans who really like this kind of game. That big and rusty bolt that they put on their great creation demonstrates the whole essence and soul of the company's leaders, and this is definitely not due to budget shortages, since scrap mechanic is not the only game of the studio, given that, according to rumors, the studio is developing another game. Why start doing something new without completing the work on the old one. Why fix something that isn't broken. They can refer to the fact that the developers are tired of dealing with this game, but they will still be wrong, since this is an EXTREMELY bad reason. They promised to update the game at the end of 2023, and as a result, on New Year's Eve we received a picture with the inscription "sorry". And everything. For half a year now, there have been no signs of life from the developers towards this game, as if the studio had closed. They decided to spit into the souls of all the fans by sending a picture with the text "sorry". They hide behind the idea that they want to release this update right away in great shape without bugs, but this is just their pathetic excuse to actually do nothing, but just look at how money is dripping onto their company's balance sheet from those poor people who foolishly bought this game. The game is dead, It's time to admit it, They don't care about the community, they just make money from people who liked the posters from the purchase page in steam. Maybe such people will be satisfied at first, but when they study all the small tools of the game, all its mechanics of which are still very few, they will become just as dissatisfied as I am.

We are still here! We went down a rabbit hole to try and fix the physics and lag. Maybe the number one request from you mechanics. It ended up being a lot of work. But we think we are on to something now!"

but i agree it is a long time but they have a reason

Disney is a terrible company but I like some of their movies. What's your point?

"Why axolot games is a very BAD and STUPID people." can't even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spell lmao

However, they recently showed off progress on their twitter with massive performance boosts. They aren't gone or have abandoned the game, they made a big mistake by putting it all in one update instead of multiple smaller ones.

It is very likely that braindead comments like "game is dead" by idiots who don't check the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ twitter are the reason we haven't gotten a single damn Dev blog in a year because all they get is backlash, but sometimes for a good reason.

I agree, people need to stop acting like child and grow up. I understand that many community members are upset, Axolotl is a small developer group. It takes time to finish video game projects, but maybe they should've release the update into smaller pieces instead of one big one. I used to been an actual video game developer and It's very hard to finish a big project, just please can we just stop with the whole "game is ded" and just find something better to do, while we wait.

anyone complaining about this game reminds me of a kid crying for a toy/candy at the store and their mom being visibly irritated

3+ years to fix with zero content updates. Whew.

Seriously, just put this game on the back burner. Stop looking at it, stop reading about it, and just go do something else for a year. Getting angry/sad/upset about a game not being finished on YOUR schedule isn't going to affect anyone but you. If chapter 2 drops next year (2025) and has better performance than it does now, I'll still play the hell out of it.

On top of that, have you ever been a part of a large project, programming or otherwise? There are setbacks and rabbit holes everywhere. I'd rather they took 5 -MORE- years and release chapter 2 as a well polished 1.0v than do what most EA games do and just drop garbage updates that break everything, then patch the garbage with more trash that breaks even more things.

1) the problem is that we are getting older and this game is dying

2) large project? nice large project that one person is working on it because the rest of the studio is making another game to scam children

3) it's not possible that they are that stupid, it's just a scam and all these bots are excited because the guy took a minute to write a post on X that doesn't show anything

1. opinion.

2. you do not know how axelot is using internal resources. this is a tremendous assumption. yes they are working on a new game, however you do not know how much of their staff is doing what. this idea that one person is working on scrap and the whole rest of the staff is working on crew commander is not supported by any credible data. Period. stop spreading what is most likely a lie.

3. if you understood what you were looking at in that short clip on X you would realize just how important it is.

This, though. I'm really astonished, with how easy it is to get into a game engine and learn what goes into a game, that more people can't acquire the empathy for the people in a development situation. Honestly, that shouldn't even be necessary. Entitled, Toxic fans are bad for the community and if anything is killing something, it them killing the mood and fabricating a bad name for the devs without actually thinking about someone but themselves for a change.

It takes some mental gymnastics to blame people who paid for the game 10 years ago and still don't have a finished game for them being upset about being lied to. They made 30 million dollars on this game alone... there's no excuse except greed for why this game isn't finished. It should have been done years ago. Yes, development isn't easy... that's why you devote resources to getting it done.. and they didn't.

Stop blaming people for being angry about being lied to and kept in the dark by some greedy company.

Speaking of lying, it has not been 10 years. what lie did they tell us. we have a survival game. that was the original pitch. sooo, what lie exactly? they never pitched chapter 2 until after we got survival. so again what lie?
