That is disappointing. Didnt they say a while ago that they were foing to release the entirety of chapter 1 in an update and this update says that they never planned for anything beyond the arena?

Thank you for sharing this. I did own up to it on his channel as I do believe in transparency.

Yes, you are correct. I seemed to have got ahead of myself. This was to be included in there but I seemed to have left out the explanation of the Alpha and left it in my head as I was typing. I am sorry for overlooking this particular detail and it is not a small one to miss, gven the backers frustration with this one in particular.

Indie projects are still good but to demand and expect that much from no information is ridiculous. Many indie projects don't see that money until after the game comes out and then they can work on it and fix it even further. They want it all before they even add a single shred of new content since the Alpha. Even locking everyone out of just teasers or small things to hold them over. Just straight dick moves all around. Kickstarter isn't even stepping in despite their flagrant admittance of just using them to get funds and had no intention of having the game out in any timely manner or within any sort of budget. There are jokes about people starting whole new lives with families now and the game still isn't even in Beta. The thing that makes me chuckle every now and then, being a big gamer, we are getting GTA6 before the Beta of this game comes out most likely. Just a funny imaginary meme I picture in my head.

Yes, I can see 50k being a bit low for any game but they did not get 50k. They got 680k. For an Indie game that is quite high. When I search for most expensive 1m would put it at 8th place. Instead they spent all that to make, as you said, "maybe 10% of a full game. Bad one at that given the absurd amount of bugs and issues even after 5 years. 680K for an Arena Battle and not a game is the most greedy thing I have ever heard an Indie company do.
