I'm not saying that it won't be awesome to play when it finally comes out, but there is a certain thing known as hype, and it could be that when it finally comes out, the update will not meet our expectations.
You realize comments like this make people
less motivated to work on something that's supposed to be a fun hobby for them, not more, right?
And I'll be perfectly honest with you, and blunt. If making the game is a fun hobby for someone, you shouldn't let others comments upset you one way or the other. Now, if the only thing that makes it fun is getting feedback and praise from people playing your game, then yes, your going to get upset when someone says something like what I did, nor should it be a surprise, especially given the length of time that's occurred.
Besides that, if you know real life is going to get in the way, there are ways around that. Its called smaller updates. Yeah, the game might not get finished very quickly, but hey, a small update every two or three months is better than nothing for almost a discord-damned year!
Besides, you really need to look at what I said. I wasn't saying "Oh, the updates going to suck horribly and I'll never touch this game again!" I was saying that people may be thinking that the update is going to "ZOMG WOWZERS ROXER BOXER AWESOMETASTIC MAN LOL n00bs!!!" or some variation of that, and that there's a possibility that when the update comes up, its not going to be as great as they think it will be.
Hype is bad for anything, especially in progress games like this. If some people keep thinking that the long wait means the update is going to be spectacular, that might not go over well if it ends up being below their expectations (which might result in worse comments than I'm making, thus theoretically making this less fun for Kita.)
I was also trying to make the point that patience can only go so far. When it comes to games where multiple people are working on it, and one person has RL issues come up, that's understandable. But with only one person...
Its more a case of that the longer the game goes unupdated, the longer I get the feeling that Kita is either A) Not actively working on it at all, B) Has lost interest in it and is only working on it when he has free time and no desire to do anything else, or C) Is so swamped with the RL issues that he really just needs to make an actual major declaration that an update might not be coming anytime in months, and that the game is on hiatus until he has proper time to deal with it.
I'm rambling here, so I'm going to simply rephrase what it was I was saying so that its better to the ears.
I am looking forward to the update, but unlike some, I am not expecting it to be spectacular until I get the chance to play said update and find out for myself. I'm keeping my expectations low so that way I can't be disapointed.
