i feel scammed

They'll release it on Christmas and my mother and her husband will make up too on that same day

Is the dev still putting out those regular update posts full of insane ideas guy shit? We used to have threads for each one of them but I guess whoever used to do it got bored.
>>
is there any gameplay
>>
>vaporware isn't coming out
shocker

>>1869891
There is no game or it's a shit since It's made with godot

Guys I think its time we admit that the publisher Hooded Horse has been nothing more than a flop. Game after game that they publish have either been tremendous flops/letdowns or have crack pot autistic devs that can't release an actual working game on time.

They look cool and have cool ideas but every single one of them have been an unmitigated disaster after launch and that's if then even get to launch. Hell Falling Frontier is on it's 5th or 6th delay by now with not end in sight.

Autistic devs probably but once they are released the games are quite good

step it up

>>1870187
Have patience. Most of these games they are making are not your typical slop that see you on the market. I'm happy to wait.
>>
>>1870202
Those were all picked up by Hooded Horse later in development, weren't they? Granted it's still a relatively new studio, but what are the games published by Hooded Horse from the outset of development that have been released? I know Clanfolk and Norland are in EA, not sure if those had HH as publisher from the get go or not.
>>
>>1870187
Some of their projects are definitely total moonshots, like Espiocracy. Or Alliance of the Sacred Suns, which oddly I can't even find on the Hooded Horse website now. Heart of the Machine looks completely bonkers as well, but Arcen has proven they can put out games so I'm sure we'll get something out of that eventually.
>>
>>1871603
Most of their games are picked up during development, Espiocracy was too
>>
>>1869647
Will not come out this year, almost guaranteed. He for some reason also did this last year where gave the release year as 2023.
His last dev diaries talked more about refining stuff and reworking older mechanics instead of adding new stuff, so I would say 2025 is on the cards unless he completely abandons the game.
It doesn't help that categorically ruled Early Access.
>>
>>1871895
yeah i'm 100% sure this will be delayed again, the problem is that at least before he used to post dev diaries, now he doesn't even post those anymore. He said september 3 for the next dev diary, it's october 12.
>>
>>1871914
I looked up his Discord, he delayed the next Dev Diary to Nov 8th and it will be an AAR not an actual Diary
>>
have you ever gotten one game right at least and have you stopped coping about manor lords?
>>
>>1871486
>not espissocrappy
get real
>>
>>1869891
The dev's "fortnightly" dev diary is now 4 months overdue. He keeps on pushing back his big brain idea posts so i dont have any content for my schizothreads.
>>
>>1871891
>>1871603
The difference being that TI, W&R and I think clanfolk were in EA and playable before Hoax Horse picked them up. Scammerlords and Espeepeepoopoocracy had never left the design board
>>
>>1871984
Have you even got castle walls yet for your medieval city builder game to house your immortal infertile tranny peasants?
>>
This game is a smaller scale star citizen, everytime it's supposed to finally come out of development it is never released and always delayed.
>>
they just quietly changed the release date to 2025 lol
>>
>>1873296
fells more like small scale mandate. Too many promises and when we finally get a gameplay it'something no one asked for.
>>
Guy's not even milking this with a patreon, what's the deal?
>>
>>1873723
confirmed he reads these threads
>>
i don't see how the concept could be interesting, not on that scale, or how it could be different than Twilight Struggle.

staging a coup in a small latin american, or african country, with named characters, locations, structures of power, or something based on the great game in 19th century afghanistan. glowies are overrated as fuck, like we hadn't had a proper coup since the 60s.

I was so on the hype train for that. I dont think I've ever recovered, now I just schizopost.

>>1874104
His discordtranny orbiters (who keep on suggesting DLC for a game that isnt even in EA) certainly do. Stovepipe you disgusting groomer I know what you did to your neighbour's kids.

i would like to see this game get released because it frustrates me how inept the PDX games are for a post-WW2 setting, no matter how many mods attempt it. map painting is not the right meta. if this game really is a grand strat as it claims, maybe it can scratch this itch i have for a cold war grand strat. also epionage is cool.
>>
>hooded horse
Don't know this title but let me guess it's a personal project some Polish giga-autist that he has worked on completely alone for 20 years and is eternally in some sort of EA limbo.
>>
>>1875415
>in EA limbo
A game in EA limbo is more game than this will ever be.
>>
>>1875490
What's the point of doing all that development only to not release anything? When you aren't even doing a crowdfunding scam?
>>
>>1875415
>Polish giga-autist
I think this one is Czech
>>
>>1875817
No, he's Polish.
>>
>>1875546
Two options:
1. EU governments give out grants to game developers and dont require them to actually make any product, Hooded Horse is also bank rolled by a boomer's trust fund, and the solicitor who is the trustee is an autist with no business acumen.
2. They werent intended as scams, its just that the developers are retarded and actually dont know what theyre doing.
>>
The Steam release date has now been pushed to 2025 lmao
>>
>>1876399
>2. They werent intended as scams, its just that the developers are retarded and actually dont know what theyre doing.
i'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt due to the setting being quite difficutl to implement into a game. PDX cancelled East vs West many years ago - my theory was that they didn't know how to actually do it.
>>
>>1876424
It was cancelled because it was borderline unplayable. It was a Magna Mundi situation.
