Why don't they give an update date?

Why don't they give an update date?
The wait is very long

[Moyocoya]

I loose my campain if I have not the time to finish it.
But such complicated reasoning is not, I admit, within everyone's grasp. Sorry for you.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your ongoing patience. We're currently working on a large task / feature that many in the community have shown interest in. Our philosophy is to share updates after we reach significant milestones, to be sure that what we deliver meets your expectations in terms of quality.

With a small team like ours, it sometimes takes time. This approach helps us prevent oversights and over-promises. Keep an eye out; further news will follow.

Oh look, a word from the dev himself. See the game ain't dead.

While I too appreciate sardonic and sarcastic responses, a word from Nihilcat was way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way overdue.

Five simple sentences more often than once in a blue moon would certainly help the problem with "game abandoned" trolls.

It's essentially a bare minimum in Early Access game development and more effort should be taken to throw out a few generic sentences every once in a while.

Is that a brown spot on your nose?

That´s just what I needed. Thank you. You guys could just reply some random posts with any random responses, from time to time, that I´ll be assured that the game is absolutely going on.

"... to be sure that what we deliver meets your expectations in terms of quality."
IMHO More Devs should better pay attention to this and try to do it that way too.
Look at what is happening with Starfield, Star Citizen (among so many other AAA titles) ... many of those sure do not seem to live by the same rule !

I'm not complaining about anything, dolt.

In your words, take it to PM because we're all collectively sick of you trying to start ♥♥♥♥ in discussion threads.

Precisely.

No clue how that is "complaining" about anything.

Community engagement is an important part of game development and isn't an unreasonable request at all regardless of what a couple of brown-nosed ardent supporters say.

It's especially ironic some of the ♥♥♥♥-slinging that goes on given how long I've supported DWS, the friends I've made in the community and the effort others and I have put forth over the years to help new players and draw others in.

This game is just another Sudden Strike 4, It promises so much, yet delivers nothing, Not a patch on Silent Hunter, Never Buy a game in Alpha or Beta or early release, don't give them your hard earned money, What people get paid before the job gets done, no need to finish if you've already been paid.
Remember Mass Effect 4

[Deacon]

Yeah, I agree. A little too long without news. Unprofessional.

One of main things you're taught in computer science classes and IT classes for managing projects are to communicate with your stakeholders. This is just a mom and pop shop taking money at this point.
