The game was canned you fricking moron
It wasn't canned. It was put on hold.
That is pure cope
the dev gambled all his money away on the stock market
it's over
>the dev gambled all his money away on the stock market
...before the project began, dipshit.
oh that changes everything!
a gambler who just lost over half a million $ asking his audience for money (that he once had) to make a game would have normally been a redflag
but he only did so a few months after the gambling incident, therefore it's no biggie
>Adapting the narrative
This whole thing slowed down because they struggled to sign a funding deal, and that's because America decided to hike rates extremely far just after a low-rate economy started a crisis.
if only the guy in charge didn't waste $600k!
then their project's viability wouldn't be so reliant on external capital!
Even with that, it likely would. It'd just have more time to prepare a product for investors to look at, but the rates involved are just too high to bother with video games.
A small business loan costs anywhere from 5-11% right now. It's just rough.
>ITS DA INTEREST RATES!!!
What kind of cope is this? The game was always overambitious garbage and no sane publisher would give it funding.
>What kind of cope is this?
Funding is a large part of game development. It's just expensive. If the cost of money increases, that can affect development.
>The game was always overambitious garbage
No, you idiots just assumed they were trying to staple multiple PDX titles together instead of making "EU4+".
>you idiots just assumed they
that's a lot of emotional attachment to an "indefinitely suspended" project
most people would just laugh at yet another patreonscam, yet you seem to have faith in a bunch of nobodies, with no working product, with absolutely nothing to praise and a tarnished record
any reason why you seem to be so loyal to this group?
>that's a lot of emotional attachment to an "indefinitely suspended" project
I say "you idiots" because I mean "you IDIOTS". Setting the project aside, the assumptions made were truly stupid.
>any reason why you seem to be so loyal to this group?
They have all the right ideas. They just need to execute.
>They have all the right ideas. They just need to execute.
Literally fell for the ideas guy meme
Hooded Horse is throwing money at literally any dev that can show a half working prototype. Espiocracy is literally a single polish guy in his mom's basement and he got funding.
That's the stupidly low bar the Gay Eminem dev team couldn't pass.
It wasn't that they couldn't get funding. They couldn't get funding on agreeable terms, and preferred to wait.
And now they have nothing but egg on their face.
Espiocracy chads stay winning
>And now they have nothing but egg on their face.
Choosing to wait out a storm is a pretty sensible move.
Im sure they're just planning for a double release with Medieval 3 Total war, keep faith fellow predditor.
yeah you guys sure are winning with that emotional scam
>emotional scam
Go back to the espiocracy pisscord
Cope and seethe
...Sounds as though the game should have been called 'Indulgent Wastrel' instead.
Yes. We'll finally get a game that's about more than just blobbing.

>We're making progress, but it's still too early to say "we'll have what we need on this or that date". The nature of freelance work is very uncertain, so just because one month has been good doesn't mean the next one will be too. The NDA thing I mentioned specifically is about disclosing who different members are working for - it's their business and they're not doing it as part of the Nestinars.
>What I can say is that based on our current rate of progress, we're looking at less than 2 years to restart. But again, progress isn't linear and a lot can go wrong in 2 years, so that's not an estimate that you should put much weight on.
What's next, a SotE thread?
I really thought I would finally rest from seeing these threads
This is embarrassing
