That's interesting. Well, at least there is Stellaris to look up to, until some official update on Limit Theory sees the light of day.

I guess there is a question that needs to be answered. What is Josh required to do to fulfill his side of the Kickstarter? [...] What is required by the Kickstarter? What evidence of development are the backers obligated to receive? Keeping in mind that the backers may not see the release of Limit ...

That doesn't mean he has no right to complain. Indeed. I am, in fact, more surprised with the people who try to shut down all questions about progress rather than with people who are anxious about what's going on with Limit Theory. Personally that's the reason why I lost almost all my initial inter...

He said he won't do DAILY dev logs ever again. He also said he'll "really hope to resume a dev log format soon so that we can keep interaction more consistent without me necessarily having to engage in whatever crazy topic you guys are going off on". So he in fact stated that there WILL be a dev log...

I can't offer any helpful techniques for dealing with this. All I can do is make the observation that requiring "awesome" for every communication will only insure there are no communications again. A pattern of success starts with choosing small things that can be accomplished, and gradually buildi...

I think snail mail should work mainly as the means of getting data feedback (espionage), but what about making snail mail the only way to communicate with your fleet IF the enemy is capable of jamming your signal? Or reduce the number of commands for the fleet to very basic ones (like "retreat", cau...

- Why do you want to place a mole? To gain intel the enemy has. You hire an AI. Then order this AI "be hired by [corporation X]" or "be hired by [corporation X] as [soldier]". AI will sit there and get paid until it gets hired or redirect to other tasks. If you manage to get hired as a pilot and tha...

As someone who also had some issues on finishing some personal projects I will lay down some of my thoughts: - The lack of a clear deadline can encourage pushing away the publication of information on actual progress that has been made. I hate deadlines myself, but I know they're a mobilizing factor...

What's the best way to quickly check for updates after Development Updates are no longer continued? Kickstarter? Announcements part of the forums? I am asking, because I want a quick summary on how things are going when I will want to see if things moved forward since the last time.

What you have seen does not mean what you haven't seen does not exist. It only does show limit of your experience.

It's obvious that Josh went into a coding frenzy. I have no idea why some think he abandoned the project (especially after being so successful in implementing a whole lot of stuff?). He'd rather be dead than that.

I am fine if Josh is working on game, but if there are to be delays in spreading information then I think daily logs were better form of informing people. I am going to check if something happens in a week or two.

Or to put it another way: what is the general game design principle that says things from the real world are required in the imaginary world of a game? Why, exactly, objectively, must realism > plausibility for the many people other than ourselves who will play Limit Theory? It's not about realism ...

I have the impression that you're not coming at this subject from the perspective of a game designer. Firstly, the player may be of the real world, but the character he/she is playing is not -- that character exists in the world of the game. Why would that character need Earth's SI/metric or any ot...

How dare they.
