Ahpook Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I am fed up. There hasnt been word one about this game in over a year. Not even an occasional "dont worry we are still working on it", nothing. They keep giving us BS bait and switch dates. Probably because they know if they told us the real release date no one would follow this fiasco any more. Which is pretty much where I am at. They either over-promised and refuse to own up to it, or this is a super ****ty disingenuous marketing technique. Either way, I am done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer ImDaMisterL Posted July 11, 2018 Developer Share Posted July 11, 2018 Klei has always worked like this. They let us know something is being worked on as soon as they are sure they're going to release it, then estimate a time date (which is rarely right) for the release. Klei wants their games to have the best quality, so that's why they take much longer to release their stuff. I know the waiting gets annoying, I also can't wait for this game to be released and the wait kills the hype, but there's nothing else we can do. The game WILL be released, it's just a matter of waiting. Though I agree, updates would be great, at least a "Hey guys, how are you? The game is going good" post. They used to give us developer insights during DST's development and I REALLY miss those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petzi Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It's notoriously hard to predict how long a big project will take, so it's perfectly normal that they can't give us a date until they're sure it will be ready. I also suspect that they might not release it as early as Oxygen Not Included or Don't Starve because, since it's an RPG, it might be more important for us to get a complete experience.

That makes a lot of sense, we know at least its still a live project at least since they mention it on stream. Also consider that currently they have two games in early access right now which would be a good reason to not want to share much on griftlands.

AlphasKiller Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 They just released Hot Lava, I guess it will takes a lot longer to have Griftlands, the epic RPG, released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolham Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Games take years to develop, and Klei are working on multiple projects at the same time. Just be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggylives Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 It's silly to say "be patient" when the company themselves advertised it on Steam as an early 2018 release. Quietly changed it to 2nd quarter 2018 release. Quietly changed it again to 2018 release. If they advertised a release date that was too early, that is on them, not on the fans to whom they were advertising the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0panka Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 One thing is “making game takes years” and second thing is to release one picture of some art or something once a month or once in 6 months or once ina a year for gods sake. There is absolutely zero reasons not to say anything or show us anything i own all Klei games and they are amazing IMO but this is too much. Same with MOTN remaster. No info at all. I miss the times when they had road maps and were releasing all crazy artworks which i actually collected or made puzzles time to time. Count me +1 to pissed people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolham Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad. Everyone calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer ImDaMisterL Posted August 24, 2018 Developer Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think everyone is pretty calm so far. And although I agree with what you say @Tolham, I'll counter that with something I've been saying for a long time: if it's not close to completion, don't announce it. I think that'd stop people from getting annoyed and all the hype kill the wait causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahpook Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 So the dates put out have been: Late 2017/Early 2018 Early 2018 Sometime 2018 And now...? Now its late 2018 and there is still no update. At all. Of any kind. Who wants to take bets on what the next bait and switch date will be? Early 2019? Late 2019? Maybe just never mind...?

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted October 7, 2018 Developer Share Posted October 7, 2018 22 hours ago, Ahpook said: Maybe just never mind...? No, Klei always releases a project after it's officially announced. It's coming, we just don't know when. Look at Hot Lava, it was promissed way back in 2016, and we only got a beta 2 years later. The only exception was that we were told informat possible dates by one of the devs, nothing on Steam about when the beta was coming. I do see where you're coming from, though. I think Klei should announce things either when they're sure it's close to release or then not promise a date at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is absolutely ZERO info/text/picture/whatever between first announcement and whatever is next. It is like FOREVEEEER since they said anything about it. I have no idea what kind of weird strategy this is because it takes couple seconds and no work at all to put some concept art or WHATEVER in forums time to time This is not what Klei was about before with their other games man! Even Hot lava had some info/picture time to time trough that time. NOW? I cant even get answer if it is still coming to mac or what although they said it was. And AGAIN it is not a problem if it is not coming. Problem is that they didnt write "we got into some issues with mac version so it will come later" or "we thought it will be easy peasy to make mac version but the scale of this game prevents that and we postpone that into future ... maybe" Seriously wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreliable Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I don't mind waiting a little bit longer for the game to be released. I am sure it is going to be worth it. There are plenty of other games to play in the meantime and i think that there is nothing wrong with having something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
