Elysian Shadows Kickstarter Live NOW!

Yes, we're in good terms. Life was rough for both of us so I understand how things can get abrasive sometimes. I'm also difficult to deal with from time to time (as many people here know).

Just wanted to point out that the Discord invite there seems to be invalid.

I noticed that there hasn't been an update on the website for almost a year now, so I went to the social media accounts and I have to say even after I read this entire thread I still think this project is glorious. Don't get me wrong I can understand the frustration with development concerning the fact the game is WAY late and some of the reactions were probably not the most professional but after watching the last dev a thon and really listening to GyroVorbis explain the logic behind ESTK and the level of detail they are seeking and the number of ways they are outperforming unity I really do hope development finishes with this project as a whole and I hope things go well for the dev team in their future projects. Now I'm not a backer for the project but I think the fact the developers are still heavily working on this or at least seem to be just from their passion alone really says something and personally, I'd probably still be down to buy the game once it releases.

At this point Falco, why not release what you have to the community and call it a day? That wouldn't stop you from working on your game in your spare time as a hobby, but at least the backers who wanted your toolkit would get it and could make their own projects with it.

Cause he's still working on it? I mean, I see him talk about it in the Discord regularly.

No idea if he's making actual real progress or if things are just going around in circles like vaporware though.

can't wait for my pressed dreamcast disc, well hopefully my dreamcast still works

Its been 6 years and you havent put out anything yet??? That $$$ could have paid you a full time salary for 7 years or a team for 1 year to actually produce this thing.

If I hired a company to make me a game for that amount it would be out in the year, even on the shitty OG katana devkit.

You dont have depression or whatever. You're a sociopath, scam artist, and a professional baby. You stole peoples money and you probably deserve jailtime for fraud.

Yea. Him and his whole project were a failure. Any decent person would have come forward and said "Sorry everyone, we tried our best but we just couldn't do it. Thank you for all your support and patience," followed by releasing everything they have made up until this point to try and satisfy some of their backers. There are a lot of honest, generous and hardworking devs in the Dreamcast scene these days, and Falco is definitely not one of them. No one would have faulted him for failing to produce a game if he was honest, upfront and humble about everything. Plenty of indie games and kickstarters fail. But instead, he attacked anyone who dared question the status or quality of the project, followed by radio silence on all of the game’s sites and social media.

I don't like to just shit on people, but I just don't care anymore. I tried to understand him or what happened with his team and game, but it just seems like he is a toxic individual and drives everyone away he works with. He claims he takes full responsibility while simultaneously blaming everyone. That kind of arrogant and narcissistic attitude is what turned the community against him. I'm not missing my $60, but I know there are many others that gave him a LOT more of their money and could probably use it right about now.
