what's happening
Hey guys, you should be more grateful that your crowdfunding campaign has been successful. It's a huge chance to have the development and all the risk paid in advance, other people can only dream of this!
At least fricking 57.000$ should be enough to keep your backers properly informed about what's going on. 2 updates in 8 months, seriously?
Vote for "Indiegame Of The Year"? Surely not, if I could choose the worst one, you would have my vote.

Re: what's happening
Hi. We've discussed this on several occasions already (like here). Don't know what you mean by 2 updates in 8 months, we're doing a bigger update each month for some time now.
Yes, we don't do updates every couple of days, but we don't feel like we are not informing the fans on what's going on - the fact is, it's just work, work, work. Not a lot to say about it and not be boring
We're going to stick to this approach as I think we've made a crazy amount of progress this past year thanks to not getting sidetracked. I hope you can understand this and enjoy the game when it's out without any bad feelings towards it!

Our crowdfunding success was not a lottery win, but a result of A LOT of work. We're extremely grateful to all our backers, and we show it through working our asses off even more to bring them a game they deserve. As I wrote in the mentioned post, we'd rather be quiet for a long time and work in peace (doing updates or any marketing stuff is VERY time consuming for us) and make Darkwood the best possible way we can.Hey guys, you should be more grateful that your crowdfunding campaign has been successful.

Re: what's happening
Sorry but this fact, the level of information is relatively low. And the people who help you realize your dreams, belong the concrete information at least once or twice a month. I saw one personal projects less ambitious than yours and having a much better contact with customers. The fact that you are busy does not change that. More and more people have already forgotten about this project. Shame on you.
Re: what's happening
I can't really see the problem with regards to what you described - your suggestion is to do 1 to 2 updates per month, where I just wrote we do updates at least once a month, and the last one was literally 4 days ago.
Anyways, this is all relative. Trust me, we'd like to have some cool stuff to show off every day
but we just don't have the resources (and a project that would not be spoiler sensitive) to do that.

Remember, the loud vocal ones might not always be what most of the community is about.

I suspect these posts are from the same person, trying to troll on the forums. Oh god I hate these kind of people

No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.

Re: what's happening
Considering the game is meant to be 'mysterious' and talking about the enemies we may find, or the story (since that is supposed to be discovered on your own too) can ruin the experience... I fully understand why updates haven't been as often as others. Heck, I thank them for it then.
But some of these posts in here are quote silly. I don't believe the community has 'forgotten' the game as there currently isn't much to talk about except the occasional news snippet or update. Once the game gets closer to release, I expect this forum to come to full life.
Until then, to the troll cave these posters go. Begone!

Exactly! I mean what fun is a game you already know half about. Take your time, guys - this ain't a race for headlines.
