Problem is a lack of communication with users (customers). Nobody would question anything if dev just tell us how far is it from release (month, 6 months, a year). Doesnt matter how long just that we have some basic deadline so that we dont ask questions all the time if the release is more than 6 months away but we will ask in 6 months whats happening and we should be getting some answers. Also it would be good to put game on Steam as a demo or early access but that thing didnt happen. Question is why? Also if the dev doesnt think this will be completed in some reasonable time it would be fair to just say it. No one will hold a grudge but majority of people doesnt have time to wait on this 5 years. I mean either you work on this full time or part time every day or you dont, because if the dev works on this 3 hours a week or even month then I cant see this completing soon. I bought it for 10 bucks and I had my share of fun but I dont expect anything more from this. If second episode comes I will play it but if not I wont be mad.

I don't understand why people hate criticism so much. If it weren't for criticism, in this world everyone would do whatever they want, however they want, and nothing would give a head or a tail. Plus, jasmin071's post isn't so much critical as it is an honest reminder to the developers. And he's right... Sure, give my comment the dislike too, because that's the only thing you know how to do. You get a little bit of a grievance and you kick around. Lots of people here have begged the developer to give some feedback, some hope... but think about it... if Adam doesn't make his project known, the project will fade into the oblivion. I honestly don't want him to post a release date for the second episode here, even an approximate one... it would be fine with me if he posted a few times a month that he's okay and working on the project. There's nothing wrong with that...

Constructive criticism is one thing. Patronization and complaining are another and both unnecessary to the process of creativity and time. 

It takes professional devs working under the highest companies with the latest techonologies years to complete a full game. This is a single dev, and at the time of my writing, it’s been less than a year since  they single-handedly released Episode 1. All any of us have is time to wait for something we want to be released.

I understand receiving a release date would relieve people. But being given a time frame won’t finish the next piece any faster, and isn’t even a guarantee. Even top developers from top studios will attempt to assuage the crowd’s impatience only to push release dates again and again, with people feeling pissed off anyway. Besides, record shows that the smaller the studio, the more likely a release will be closest to when content is more or less “finished” rather than way in advance.

Just chill. It’ll come out when it comes out and be as great as the first. If people don’t wanna wait, then forget it. If you don’t want to forget, then wait.
