In other words, "It's time to claim your refunds."
Like someone on Steam said in their review, this game "takes a bigger bite than can be chewed". I enjoyed it overall, but it seems to have gone downhill since Alpha 3. …Whatever happened to the "items get reset back to original locations" that was in pre-Alpha 2?

[QUOTE=DerpPie;52992957]Whatever happened to this version of the game[/QUOTE] It never existed, scripted trailers demoing cool sounding ideas don't always translate into a good game. Clearly the game's design was either never fully fleshed out or they ran into issues with it when it came time to execute.
I hate games designed exclusively for dumb youtube meme jokes tbh
Much like No Man's Sky, the initial look of the game was good and seeing as how nobody was really showing anything off about it until closer to it's apparent release, nobody knew any different. Looking over their site, [del]I get that they're going for quirky look but, how can you take this serious? [t]https://puu.sh/yKATk/fadfe8c05d.jpg[/t][t]https://puu.sh/yKATU/d474d2e275.jpg[/t] I mean it's not terrible, but if I'm going to a dev company's site, I'm not so sure the drawings of a 13 year old are really gonna cut it for people taking them overly serious. They also still have it that Alpha 3 is what they're working on, so do they even give a shit about this site? I have no idea.[/del] [t]http://puu.sh/yKBaA/2829bfbbe1.png[/t] This explains everything actually.

It was an elaborate movie that represented NONE of the current progress towards the finished product. AKA a dishonest presentation that intended to help the developer grab as much cash as possible. [editline]21st December 2017[/editline] I wouldn't have a problem with that video if they titled it "concept video - NOT REAL GAMEPLAY" because then, at least, no one would have the right to feel cheated when every [I]actual[/I] alpha build that was published took one step forward and three steps back.
