Same old, same old… How come I don’t even feel disappointment at this ‘news’ anymore?

A note from Webslinger on the Steam discussion:

Hi everyone,

Just like you, I was wondering if this game would ever see the light, so instead of remaining passive and ‘bit ching’ about it here ;-), I decided to contact the publisher (Iceberg Interactive) for an update.

In short, this is what they claimed:

The game is done, as in all the content is finished.
But the game has grown so much in all those years (content / size) that it seems to be a real challenge to incorporate every puzzle and every bit of content into the game.

Assembling the game from all the loose parts is taking more time then they anticipated so they decided to let go of release dates and adopt a ‘It’s done when it’s done’ attitude.

I did point out to them that the marketing for this game was a disaster, they got involved at a later stage of the development, so most of it is Jonathan’s own fault, but all those broken promises and lack of updates to the fans is just @&%!

I have respect for Jonathan, doing almost everything alone, but he made soooooo much promises he couldn’t keep…

But whats another year, right :-(

Well that’s all from me, just wanted to share my update with you.

Cheers.

Very disappointing, but not unexpected. Why Mr Boakes didn’t take the “it’s done when it’s done” route in the first place I will never know.

I was thinking more along the lines of something like this

Lol

Great way to get rid of your fans, indeed! So I guess we will see no games from Darkling Room in the next five years at least.

I’ll be happy to play the game whenever it is released.
It’s too bad Mr. Boakes was never paid as contracted by certain game publishers, and has to work a day job instead of devoting all of his time to his game.

And now he’s being screwed by fans who think mr Boakes doesn’t give them enough attention.
