They have a fully realized city-planet. As in a full, spherical planet that is convincingly complex, covered coast to coast in cyberpunk city. I get that it's a meme that it's development is a scam when they are making real headway on ideas that actual released video games haven't even touched conceptually. I don't care literally at all about this game, but it's always weird to me when people are surprised that a game attempting to do what this game is is taking as long as this game is. How long do people think it's supposed to take to develop procedural planetary-scale city-building software, on top of everything else this game is supposed to have at the level of detail it's supposed to have? |
It's supposed to take the amount of time they said it would take when they asked everyone for money. That date passed five years ago. A delay of a few months, maybe a year even, could be seen as a normal result of over-optimistic developers incorrectly estimating the time needed. But, this is five years late. So, no matter how ambitious the game is, the fact remains - the devs lied to people to get their money.
