Cataclysm rules.

Yah they need to focus some of their posting from elsewhere towards the frontpage honestly. They're communicating, just not in the correct place. Forums and blogs  more than their frontpage.

On an unrelated note, here is some of the concept art: http://afekay.cghub.com/

I would like it if they updated their blog on the main page a little more often. I worry that the long gaps between information and updates is hurting their image.

I think it's fair to say 'world class communication' is not an Indie Stone trait, although they seem to be posting every week or two, not too bad really. Depends what standards you want to hold them to.

The current development is probably very dry subject matter anyway, don't suppose there is anything worth being reported that hasn't already been said.

Jesus christ they just keep running into Murphy's Law. This time two of the maindevs had their PCs stolen.

Jesus....they lost source code. This is the kind of thing that makes people quit in defeat.

Man, these guys have the worst of luck.

That said, I have to point out that it's pretty damn stupid not to make external backups of these things...

[lordcooper]

Double posting because you guys aren't gonna want to miss this.

A drunken lemmy is currently raging at the world.

[Xotes]

On one hand I feel like a jackass for finding his rage funny.

On the other hand, it really is.

Shame that they got robbed in the first place, though.

[lordcooper]

Did Lemmy just get banned/delete his twitter account?

[Tilla]

Still up for me. I feel bad for the guy a lot, he's always been pretty nice and posted regularly here when the game wasn't in full development. He's clearly pretty traumatized by the robbery.

[lordcooper]

Weird, it keeps telling me that 'this user does not exist.'

[Dr. Johbson]

The people who are accusing them of purposly lying to their users and are just making up being robbed so they don't have to make their game, make me sick. Not much on the internet will bother me, but that does. It was pretty stupid (very stupid) to not have better backups but absolutely no compassion for someone who was robbed is just worse.

The things this Lemmy guy and his crew have been saying on Twitter / Reddit are not very appealing. Also ... how do funded projects not use revision control offsite? This guy never had a hardware failure or something? From where I sit (the sidelines), it doesn't seem to be very respectful of their pre-paying clients.

I don't have a dog in this fight, though. Just saying ... these guys are melting down in all the wrong ways.

(Full disclosure: I admit this whole thing is fascinating, seems like everything that can go wrong to this team does. Which raises questions.)

Edited to add a link to an image of some of his tweets, since he's in the process of deleting them/his Twitter account to make it all go away (Twitter style, so read from the bottom up): http://i.imgur.com/guW7t.jpg

They are, but considering they were just robbed, I'd give it a free pass. Very stressful, not that I've ever been robbed. I can definetly understand why people are angry at them though, INCREDIBLY bad idea to have a few months work on only two laptops. No idea what they were thinking. I've had all the computers in my house break at once for different reasons before, anything that is remotely important should be backed up in as many places as possible. I just think the timing of their complaints are bad taste.

And of course the people I mentioned above in my last post are scum.
