Hi, I’m someone who’s mostly stepped back from the forums these days. I was thinking about this game’s future, and I just kinda felt like sharing
It’s been 9 months since the game released. It’s likely going to be a year before the nimbus sea is even available. In those 9 months, we’ve gotten some miscellaneous new features, a few map changes, the addition of the dark sea, and some quality of life changes. I don’t know if this is actually true, or if this is some kind of psychological thing, but it really feels like the patch notes are coming slower. At this point, you kind of have to wonder, “how long is the nimbus sea going to take at this rate?”
And, like, it could be pretty much any amount of time. With vetex always working on stuff besides adding new story content, the Bronze Sea took 2 years or something like that. And that was when he was working fast enough to do things like revamp the visuals for a magic type every single day. And how many seas will the game even have? Will it be 5? The game could easily be in development for another decade, if that’s the case. If that happened, I would be pushing 30 by the time the game is finished. And that’s assuming the project never gets dropped.
That being said, would Vetex really drop it all of a sudden? He’s been working on the game for three years at this point. And he’s been working on other games in the same world for eight, with a little break in the middle where he worked on a somewhat unsuccessful smaller game, before returning to the arcane universe of his own volition.
And am I ever gonna stop caring? It’s been 3 years since I started following this project, and I still come back to check on things, hop on to play the game, try out every new update. And I’m not really exhausting anything to do that. I’m an adult at this point, I’ve got other things to do. I don’t spend every waking moment burning myself out on this game. I don’t see a reason why this game can’t continue to be my game of the week every once in a while forever.
And if the game does get dropped and we never get to see the ending, I’ll be sad, sure, but that was never the point anyways.
So, kind of a pointless thread. But i just felt like speaking my mind. Hope someone gets something out of this. (put in off topic cause i feel its kind of a meta post, not really about the game itself)
