Mostly addressing toxic fans/customers. In a way, I could see ignoring non-customers. With no demo you can't really add any imput or point out bugs. The problem with NO updates like a screenshot of an area or animated gif (since they did post some), leaves backers pondering their life decision in backing. Likely, some will never back any project and only PURCHASE released products.

I really think this thread should only be visited yearly unless they post something of interest. As is, their twitter posts aren't all that appealing.

It looks like they've finally realized where they are at, with the numbers of virtual asspats unable to validate trying to deny reality from themselves via their True Devoted fans telling them they are doing a wonderful job.

After years of no updates as they are aware of from projects they have backed (not counting Corven's lack of anything recently), Unknown Realms really is as if Ultima IV was in dev hell long enough to see Ultima VII's release date.

Meanwhile an expansion dropped for Nox Archaist. Must have been that jealousy of Bruce that spurred them on.

That's where I'm at, really.

Persecution complex.

I guess he means is referring to this screenshot:

Obviously fake. Nobody would believe there's a new screenshot.

"Trolls"

 

[shilence]

I really do wonder how big that twitter "troll army" he mentioned really is. All I can see is one guy talking shit about the game.

The troll army are obviously talking in code so as to not get banned by Twitter. If it seems like nobody is talking about #unknownrealm on Twitter but the devs then it just goes to show how well they can keep it hidden.

They're just THAT good!

How do you do, fellow #indiedevs?

 

[adamantyr]

Persecution complex.

I just noticed this on his original screenshot... It's "Citadel", Bruce.

A guy who started his nerdy C64 Ultima/Telengard clone project back in 1984 is going back to finish it now. It's already more of a game than Unknown Realm will ever be.

 

[Melan]

He is really fair for giving them a head start.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Link?

Ah he has several on the video site. Ok

 

[adamantyr]

It's "Strength" and "Proficiency", Bruce.

You just delayed the release by another year.

 

[shilence]

Coming to think of it, Bruce announced a FAQ and the start of the beta more than a year ago... Seems like it's going to be a looooong FAQ

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

And if he ever does release and it is sooo lame and lacking he'll really be looked at as a mega scam artist. Certainly, no one will EVER sign on another KS of his er THEIRS (wife is just as guilty) seeing how damn well they treat people.

RIP BRUCE

For me personally the game is burned. If it ever releases I won't be touching it with a pole. I would get vietnam like flashbacks to the times he was a dickhead.

I wouldn't, I really don't care who is behind something if its good. I doubt it in this case though

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Why does this dev like the fucking drama? I thought devs tried to avoid retarded drama. Did he drink Richard Garriotte’s blood and get infected with drama-queenism?

One of the likes on the post is from their game Twitter account.

The other is Bruce’s own like. I think you can like your own posts.

Ha! Someone liked my tweet.


And yes, I liked it so that answers my question.
