I can’t say we share the bleak view of the state of things in game, but true enough: there are not enough answers and info that could tell us where we are heading with all this.
What I don’t want is to wake up one day and discover Boundless is no more after 4-5 years of alpha/beta.
Point after point you made:
I think Devs can’t relate to all our concerns even if they care about all of them. Simply, if there is a bigger and ready idea about the final shape of this game, they can’t grand us all our wishes and would only respond to the ones that they agree need change or major revamp.
Even though I try to understand them and their point of view, I have concerns too…
I wouldn’t say “anything” but what we get is fragmentary. If we, as testing players, had better and more complete bigger picture, our attempts to make suggestions and co-create the game would be more to the point.
Yeah, where is Ben The Leak?
As for long time between sth being leaked and implemented, I again have understanding for the difficulties that may arise in a process of coding and polishing ideas.
But what do I know about programming?
Nothing.
That’s why I have days when I question the devs and they pace of work myself.
I won’t say anything about that as I have no interest in this topic. But I understand you look for answers on what’s happening on business front of things and how that can affect the progress of the game and its future.
I have never looked at Boundless as RPG game, only a game with RPG elements in it.
Am I missing something in the game’s general concept?
It would be good to know where it is heading of course (genre-wise). Quite a few players that joined the game in recent months seem to be confused about what Boundless is and what it is not.
And again, clearer view of what is planned here would help players make suggestions or at least they wouldn’t waste their time fighting something that cannot be changed cause its seen by devs as core part of the game concept.
Ok, so that’s my humble input here.
Peace and Love people.
Let’s make Boundless great again.
