    This kind of behaviour is a win from the player’s perspective too, no hype for a game that might never happen or might come out after 11 years and still be crap, heh

      I see you don’t know who Lucas Pope is or what his previews consisted of. I really liked his blogposts about designing a game for a retro handheld console that really doesn’t seem worth buying. His dev blog gave me more vivid appreciation for the art of games.

      I really hope he’ll publish the dev blogs after the game.

        Thanks for the recommendation about his Dev blogs — I didn’t know he had done these, and they look really cool; Papers, Please is one of my favourite games, so I’m always keen to peer behind the scenes

        Here’s a link, if anyone else is interested. This might not be the specific post OP was talking about, but you’ll be able to find it from here if not

        I know who he is. Don’t assume, it makes an ass out of u. Just wishing AAA devs would do the same tbh rather than hype games up only to cancel them.

      I don’t think there’s any chance of Lucas Pope putting out a crap game. A great game that’s incredibly niche, I could see that though.
