Hey Intrepid,
I’m writing this because I love the game and I'm having a blast in Alpha 2, but we need to talk about the silence.
Lately, the internet is full of talk about the game failing or development stalling. When we go weeks without real updates, those rumors just get louder. Even those of us who are playing and enjoying the game are starting to get a bit worried about the future.
I get that its tempting to hide mistakes or "bad news" until you have a fix. But honestly? That's not what we need right now.
We're testers and backers, and we know game dev is messy. If a system is broken or a feature is delayed because of a tech hurdle, just tell us. Being honest about the struggles actually makes the community feel more involved. It turns us from customers into partners in the process.
You don't need to post a banger video every time. Just a quick, honest post saying "Here's what were struggling with this week" would go a long way in killing the "game is dying" narrative.
Trust us with the truth. We're in this, but we need you to talk to us.
