It was really harsh but they also are not wrong, while it isn't your job it is your project regardless of if it is free or not there is a difference between even a quarterly post with an update for those that don't want to join your discord and what is going on now which makes it really sound and feel like a dead game. On top of that you are saying there is ok activity on discord which means you have the bulk of an update post already, updates saying hey here is the state of it this is why it has been quiet this is our outlook for the next 3-4 months is fine, yes you will get some groaners but it is being transparent it does help connect with many and it will help grow your community.
And trust me I get it that discord is much easier to communicate with your active community but remember it is a closed system and you wont get people wanting to join if all the public facing things look dead and abandoned.
well.... i mean.... yeah..... but to be fair if it did not look dead, i would have never picked it up...
And it's not like i knew about the discord beforehand either....
I'm not saying i don't appreciate people at least taking the time to check on the game and ASK for updates, i'm not angry at the commenter either..... the truth is he was mostly right anyway, the game have been dead for more than a year and i'm not working at an exactly blistering pace either...
