Lost a fan, ceya
Was really looking forward to this game. Enjoyed the prologue. Tried keeping up with the news but nothing was coming. So I delved into the discussion and saw there was still not a lot. Tried asking some questions, voicing my concern, got called a five year, to bugger off and the thread was locked so I guess that's it. Complain all you want, you got what you wanted.

you're not allowed to voice any concerns or criticism in the BOE discussion forum without being jumped on by a "certain" fangroup.

i could name it but it will be deleted. if you wanna know which add me and i'll share a link.

you would be suprissed to see alot of those calling others "five year olds" belong to the same group. it's almost like a co-ordinated effort to stamp out any and all criticism and get the poster banned.

Agreed.

Definitely not buying it anymore either considering everything that has happened surrounding this game for quite some time, but I'm still following it to stay informed. The way people get treated when they ask why the devs change the release date on a monthly basis (by only another month) for several years already is ridiculous. Not only do the fans go full ham on you, but the devs also report/warn you if you question the constant release date changes. (They did that to me a few weeks ago, and I'm 99% sure they're going to do it again once they read this comment.)

Technically they don't change every month, but every quarter. Still very ridiculous of course.

not only a "certain" group member, but a moderator no less.
To whom exactly you're referring? Eien no shikaku or Jacek?
I remember you from some ugly posts. No wonder you were warned by developers....
I know eien no shikaku from other game and he is very honest and passionate person. Always delivers on time so in this particular game you should thank lead-developer Jacek for any delays because everything that was managed by eien no shikaku personally were throughly tested and delivered on time. I guess joining this project was a big mistake on eien no shikaku part....

Reorganisation often means companies merger. Maybe there are selling or merging with some other studio?

If it is "just" merging with another studio you would not expect a stop for 2 months, you would expect the programming to continue just under a different name and scheduled releases to take place.
I guess it's related to PlayWay, as far I know this project started as a small studio with one developer, then it grew and since it had a lot of wishlisters and a promising outlook, it got attention. Some publisher like PlayWay sees a profit and offers sponsorship. For small studios this could be a win-win situation; developers can put a full focus on the developing/programming while the publisher looks after promotion and cash-flow during the time there are no sales (yet).
The only issue with that deal is that you no longer have all strings in your hand. PlayWay does not want to bring joy to the people, PlayWay wants to make a profit. They set a deadline and it it is not reached they can pull the plug and cut their losses. You can probably negotiate an extension if you have a promising strategy when the money will eventually come in but I can't imaging that developers who constantly delay a release on short notice and PlayWay is a good match. And then you can no longer opt out. Sign up with PlayWay and you sign your soul away. Such a deal likely means you no longer have the copyrights to your own game and PlayWay dictates the rules. So if that deal breaks it breaks your project.

Fully agree with you on eien no shikaku involvement. It would be better to change the game. Eien no shikaku is amazing modder and did a lot of beautiful content. Shame everything stopped for so long after many great devblogs.... looks like someone didn't want to share game's details....
BTW, beta testing and playtests were awfully limited. Maybe they'll change their approach.

so, what is going on ?

As we announced in April, we're reorganizing. Nothing has changed regarding game development. We're working on it, once the changes in our company our done we'll resume regular communication like news, announcements, etc.
For now, you can contact us directly at steam and several other gaming communities.
I would also suggest to not take seriously not confirmed by us information about what is happening. We can see that there has been quite a lot of speculation on our hub recently. However, these are only speculations. We informed the community that we needed to change some things and that we needed time to do so. However, this does not change the fact that the work on the game is ongoing and nothing is happening that could prevent the game from being released. Please be patient. Thank you.

Nahh. I'm done. I'm out too. Constant misleading dates. Falling back on their word, prologue two isn't even out. This is an awful way to do business. I've been paitent enough. And again there will be excuses. Won't be buying it when or if it comes out. Have lost all faith in this company to deliver a pizza, let alone this game

What's with the insults? Did I insult you? No. So why do you feel the need to insult me? You are what's wrong with this toxic community. I suggest you think before you post
