I'm just personally burned out though from expecting anything from Wollay and his wife after waiting those 6 years basically expecting nothing, and then seeing the final version. I WANT this game to succeed, I want it to do well, I want it to get updated. I don't know what's going on with Cube World, but honestly i'd expect another multi year long silence, or for Cube World to fade into obscurity with nothing being mentioned about it. Why? They know how much some of their fans CARE and those people care about their fans. However, there are tons of people in business practices or that deal with fans that have to go through the same thing and those people STILL give their fans updates. He just sucks at communicating, from what we can assume he can't handle constructive criticism, and before people say 'Oh, but he got so many horrible comments and threats' yes, and that's awful for him. He's just repeating what he did the past 6 years after the Alpha, people were worried about him then too but he was fine. He'll release something, go dead quiet, maybe if you're lucky you'll hear something, then dead quiet. I think there's some consumer responsibility there. If you spend however much on a guy who wants to open a water park and then delivers a kiddy pool six years later, well. Just look at Kickstarter, it's the same thing there. If a two-man dev team says they'll have features XYZ, be careful with your purchase, there's nothing guarantor with early investment. But in another way, this is teaching a whole new generation of the age old message 'buyer beware'. He did say the game would feature XYZ and didn't deliver, so, that's a shame.

The idea that you have to sign up for a life of a public humility because you're selling a product feels really weird to me.Īs long as you're honest about what the product is and what you plan to do with it, which I think is the bit he's failed here. All sorts of artists in all sorts of fields release their work quietly or don't make a big song and dance about it and I think that's fine.

But they've always been like that, and I dunno, I don't think you should have to decide to become a public figure just because you release a game. I feel you on the silence, it's a strange stance for them to take. he is married and he should know by now that's not how things work! so he goes to work to get money for the ring and ghosts her for months, then buy the ring and appears at her door with the ring, goes down on his knees and asks her for marriage. Imagine he wasn't married, he had a girlfriend that wanted to ask to be his wife. Sure people will be mad but he would have reconsidered some of his decisions and end up with a midpoint.

people wouldn't be as mad, he gives no explanations.

Imaging working with someone who doesn't update you with what he is working then suddenly shows up with an unreasonable amount of changes that you're suppose to now digest and accept. He is a very talented programmer BUT his communication skills SUCK!!! If he was working in someone else company he would have problems keeping the job. I love the current version of the game more than alpha and I agree with you. Especially when so many people were invested from the beginning, and a good number (including myself) actively following and waiting for years. But to close all doors of communication, accepting absolutely no feedback whatsoever, and failing to live up to false promises is reprehensible. On the contrary, if Wollay wants the game to be this way without compromise that is his right. I am not advocating for Wollay to compromise his vision for his game. It's completely disrespectful of his playerbase. Worse than silence, deletion of what previous communication there was. Six years of essential silence (only peppered with false promises), a release, then more silence. Any of these would have softened the blow.

He could have just returned after 6 years of nothing, and came out saying 'this is not a finished product.' He may have done a full release of the game, but have communicated that he is willing to make changes based on player feedback. He could have gotten feedback and made changes accordingly. If Wollay had released updates throughout those 6 years, this could have been avoided. Whether you like/hate these changes doesn't change this. Then, out of the blue, he returns with a drastically different game from the original. Being a ghost for 6 years left a lot of people feeling like the game had just died. Hindsight is 20/20, but there were a lot of ways this could have been avoided.
