I said to myself the last time I posted that if we didn't have any news by the time the new year rings in, then I don't expect this project to see the light of day. It's undergoing a massive rebuild, and there's no guarantee it couldn't happen again due to more problems with the build strategy. Even...

"why are you even here?"! in my case im really curious. when the whole game is a scam and nobody is getting anything out of it, why come back to it when its literally pointless? Affirmation, I expect. Given how overly optimistic some people are, I can understand why some people feel a burning desir...

Well, I'll be frank. I now visit this forum once every 2-3 months. That's how uneventful it's become. I fully expect Josh to, in the foreseeable future, let everyone know that work will be discontinuing, and how sorry he is that he couldn't complete the project. I believe his heart is in the right p...

Quite so. All I said was it wasn't far off 400%. Also, he used the metric of over deadline, whereas you used overtime. You were right to correct him, but I also wanted to point out the different measurement.

Weird 400% you have.

Original timeline was a year of dev time, we are three and a half years in.

Thats 250% overtime.

Which would be 350% project time. Not very far off 400%, really.

I entirely understand the OP's frustration, and the desire to express it, although you're preaching to a very empty room I'm afraid. I barely visit the forums any more. First it was daily visits. Then weekly visits. Then monthly. Now not even that. Under normal circumstances it wouldn't irk me if th...

:eh: The Freelancer promise? Victor...to abandon the Freelancer 2 vision would be like leaving the lungs out of LT. You needn't keep asking for confirmation on that front ;) It's the only front I'm really passionate about, Josh. I've been concerned that the new you may have acquired altered views o...

I won't call your development process into question, what I do question is your sea change in sharing information. You used to share what you were doing and I found your update videos/dev logs to be enlightening. So my question is simply this: Will you share absolutely nothing until release (or jus...

As a programmer, one of my concerns with this project is feature creep, and being an imaginative type, I have to exercise considerable self-restraint when working on a project. One idea leads to another, and then another, and all of a sudden you've completely side-tracked from your original goal, an...

I check by once every month to see if Josh has posted an update. Other than that, I'm not taking an active interest in the project. I was initially pretty pumped for it after watching the videos, but then after the silence period, more and more doubts, and now, I just don't feel I can be emotionally...

The lack of communication is only an "issue" because there was far more dialogue from Josh early on. It's important to remember that most game devs, working with kickstarted money or not, don't share even 10% of what Josh has given us on the dev process. Pretending that Josh's recent silence is a p...

I'm not going to stomp all over what you are saying, WASAVA, as I consider your concerns to be genuine and I would be the first to admit that what has happened with LT is far from ideal. :( I am disappointed that Josh continues to "come in bursts" and far from regular ones at that. I was hoping to ...

As much as we all want development to move along, throwing extra money at it isn't going to make it happen any faster. He received well in excess of his original Kickstarter target, and I think I were ever to donate to LT, it would be to hiring in extra developers. This just seems to be a "maybe Jos...

It depends on how the game is built. It sounds simple in principle; after all, you just switch the human player for an A.I player, then it's essentially just spectator mode until you decide to take back control. Programmer stuff: But the player controls the game through a UI, not the A.I. It depends...
