I not criticising the game or the Dev here. Everyone as a life outside the net and the game is really interesting so far and that precisely why it's frustrating.

I don't ask for an update on the spot, I can't even imagine how much work what there is so far took.

I'm criticising the lack of communication for an extend period. I know they said that there is a discord but not everyone as discord and not everyone are on the server. Their fault you will say. Sure, but when you have a web page you can at least put a message to say that the game is still in progress (or not) but you don't know when the next update will be, that all I'm asking

That's no one's fault but your own, or anyone else who isn't taking the time to seek out answers that are in plain view, they have a discord link for a reason. And it is there to help people get updates pertaining to both projects and anything else, there's also a mass influx of issues pertaining to their team and the workload. Most of this is produced by a singular person, and they're managing to dish out updates for their paid game (Radiant) while putting Polarity (a free game) on the back burner. And to be fair, no one should be complaining about a free game. Much less, if you choose to stay for polarity. Paying for the dev's subscription service, while not taking the time to find the updates about Polarity and raging out about it is ignorant. I completely understand where you're coming from, but it's not a lack of communication. It's people's lack of pure initiative to click a link that would entirely explain what's going on.

Looks like you read half of my post here, I started to say that I'm not criticism the lack of updates or the devs, I know things like that take an horrendous amount of work and time.

I just say that it would have been good to have a short post on this site explaining the situation, example ''game still on progress but some difficulties arises, check discord for more infos/regular progress updates''

And if me not going on discord make me the stupid one then sorry for being stupid.

That post is a bit old anyway, don't know if it's still valid

I don't believe I said you were stupid, I stated it made no logical sense to get angry at the developer for a supposed lack of communication when they put a social forum up for that exact reason. And I doubled down on the fact that it's an issue of both being aware and oblivious to the information presented. Not that it made you stupid, that would be derogatory. But that perhaps you didn't pay enough attention or maybe you just didn't see it, that's fine. But it's not the developer's fault when everything was laid out. No reason for the developer to spend time posting on here, when they have 99% of their community within their discord server. Not saying that as to degrade you, or what you said. Just putting it out there, they've explained it here before. But decided to no longer spend time doing so, now it's just one to one. Social forum to game development, easy info in their server to dropping links when their updates do come. And more, it is just inherently a easier way to do things. I would recommend joining, it would probably make everything you mentioned a lot easier as well. And we would love to welcome you into the community. Have a nice day.
