Finished Game

[nezkeys79]

When do you think you will have finished this game? It's been 7 months since the last update and I get the impression the next update is not the finished article (and when is that supposed to be being released)

I lost interest shortly after the 06.9 update due to completing the content quickly, and having nothing to do since 0.6.10 was released, and then it had a lag and other bugs. the game is great but now i just want to play it when its finished rather than all these interruptions.

I think the game will be finished (v1.0) in 2-3 years. But that is just a guess ...

2-3 years?! why so long lol? sometimes massive console games take less time to develop. for instance in the smartphone world kemcogames have released about 7 seperate top quality rpgs in the last year or so. also mocogames have released 7 separate gailardia games too which are also top quality rpgs. im sure there are more developers out there with same amount of work. I just dont get why its taking so long, and when the updates are released all the new content can be completed within a couple months so if they dont rtelease another for 6 months then its just boring and im not noe of those grinding for those rare items either. i dont want to be overpowered unnecessarily

Because nobody pays developers for the work on this game.

you are comparing apples & oranges!
these games are "cookie - cutter replicas" that are spoon fed to the masses.

i personally wish they would stop cluttering up the Marketplace (Play) with such garbage.
if i wanted to play games like that i would go hook up my PS2.

most people here dont care if there are crazy graphics, or riveting musical scores...
they want a gritty, old school, open world, strategy honing R-P-G.

i cant play the games you mentioned for more than an hour, ever.
they have been made a thousand time & i have beaten them all effortlessly.

but, i keep playing Andor's Trail because it has what the french call "je ne sais quois"
a "certain something" that i can't put my finger on... even when i burn out - i come back.
but why? i dont know, that special quality - it feels like it was made out of love.

not rushed, pushed and crammed out.
not made by a room full of soulless zombies earning a wage to pump out junk.
but made by people, for fun, to hopefully bring fun to others.

if you dont like it, that's fine. don't play (or just wait for the final version in 2021)
if you love it, but are hungry for more - do what i did. jump in & help.
it feels good! the game grows - and you get to watch!

im sure there are more developers out there with same amount of work.

i am not going to spill my guts about everyone's life...
but we all have A LOT going on right now,
and generally are VERY busy people.

some of us are moving, some of us are expecting a baby any day,
some of us are traveling on business, and...
some of us are helping out a LOT more people (on the side - out of good will) than just making AT updates.

but we are helpful, and interested in making something for people to enjoy.

I just dont get why its taking so long (...) all the new content can be completed within a couple months

it's really hard to not take this the wrong way,
i am NOT saying that i am a HUGE contributor...
but i put a LOT of stuff on hold to try to get this Alpha out sooner.

please be aware that there may be things going on,
behind the scenes... that you are not fully aware of.

and this game is FREE - it will ALWAYS be free
don't confuse us with people who want your money.
we want your smiles.

so be nice to us, please?

just so you know, the development team has really tightened up in the past two months...
and we are becoming a lot more efficient. (if you still care to know this)
everything is running more smoothly, and updates will flow out faster than in the past.

this is our project - not our promise

feel free to hit me up if you have any questions (or comments)
and take care of yourself

that was well said
I agree with everything you said 100%.

so be nice to us, please?

Well put good sir, We are definitly starting to pump out more content at an accelerated pace, but as you said we all have lifes outside of putting this game together (some more than others )

I'm hoping that you will find the latest update to be satisfying, and will tide you over for a bit.

As for me, back to writting more quests.

Oh, and one thing. My guess was straight from the heart. I am not part of the developing team and have no extraordinary insight. So it could be completely wrong and on second thought, I would rather guess, it will be 3-5 years.

Who knows if there ever will be a 100% finished product, maybe it will go on forever With all the ideas we get from the Development team and on the forums there is a never ending supply of concepts coming in.
