Wait? Another lute string? Maybe I can finally build that lute if i get one. I'd genuinely like to see if those strings work. I guess there is always the paper towel tube/milk carton/rubber band lute.

Those are actually Bruce's pubes.

JANUARY 2025 UPDATE

Nothing. No, really, this is not a joke. There was absolutely no news about the game. However, there was a lot of whining that woke people are to blame for everything, including the downfall of indie games. And that they’re being super ultra mega cancelled everywhere.

Oh, and the casual ball licking of Trump and Musk, of course :D
I have no interest in American politics, but I find it quite fascinating how he blames everything and everyone for the lack of progress.

Someone added this comment to the Oct 2024 update:

Claudio
Unknown Realm for Commodore 64 actually exists and it's called Kouyate!

What a meanie. But speaking of SarahJaneAvery, progress seems to be made. The updates keep on coming every other day, last one was about implementing ship traders and seafaring.

Latest progress:

So Bruce is allowing woke soyboys to bully him out of following his dream? Most people would be ashamed to admit to such cowardice.

What if they hold him down and inject him full of estrogen!?

Probably wouldn't change much at this point. It sounds like he's reached max pussydom already.

Soon(TM)!

Soon(TM)!

You cut off the best bits from the Unknown Realm of Cool Story, Bro.

We can’t tell you just yet when the game is coming out but we CAN tell you that this game is full of so much love and we cannot wait for you to play it when that day comes. Soon

I didn't cut it. I just reposted.

And I even quoted their 'Soon(TM).' As if I’d want to give them good publicity...

Ask "Grok" to explain that post and it returns - the third point is spot on.

FEBRUARY 2025 UPDATE

To quote the january update:

In addition to that, as mentioned in the forums, they posted a vague tweet saying "soon" once again. This is now the third time. When the Kickstarter campaign was launched nine years ago, the release was also promised to be "soon." In my opinion, the only takeaway from such a tweet is that Bruce and Laura are absolutely unreliable.

The good news:
SJA's project is progressing well. Kouyate receives regular updates. For free. Zero dineros of kickstarter money:

Honestly, we should create a thread for Sarah's game (and maybe invite her here). She deserves a thread for her game and this deserves to be forgotten and not fueled by her game.

I'm sure SD seethes seeing it.
