14 years of development, 1 billion dollars, and the tech demo is all they have to show for it. Bruh.
It's also the friends they made along the way.
Which there wasn't. All those people in the video hate each other. You can tell by how they were making snide comments and nobody was supportive of anybody.
I still have my 10-10-10 Golden Ticket. What a joke. Glad I only put down $60 back then.
They have more than a tech demo though, right? I haven't been following, but isn't the game technically already playable with people? It's just full of bugs and missing features.
It's playable like the way a early access game is playable.
There's streams out there. From the streamers and fans who donated over 10k, it's playable.
For anyone with half a brain... No.
Most early access games are more playable though. This game is just garbage.
That's still more than a tech demo. Just wanted to be sure I had the right idea.
Fair enough, its more like 4 tech demos mashed together in a way that none of the 4 like. The core of this game is clearly more spaghetti code then Kerbal Space Program and is missing the vast majority of promised features after 14 years (like reloading apparently).
We know the scope creep killed this project, just that for people who have put in $1000s its hard to admit. The tech debt alone likely makes this game impossible to make stable.
The persistent universe has been live for quite a while, to my understanding.
