Donkey team no longer developing M:BG / OKAM

[Casimir]

It's hard for me to really understand what happened to Okam as by the time i had the opportunity to even install it it was already dead!

Obviously the devs misleading people is pretty shitty but i doubt there are even enough sales for it to really matter.

That said if people cant see the overwhelmingly negative reviews or choose not to do a tiny bit of research before their purchase then they're always gunna get burned. 

If I wasn't an investor and had brought this on steam EA I would have gotten a refund after loading up the game and trying it briefly like any sane person who accidentally purchased it now would.

[...]Ramses shared part of a Discord conversation yesterday with Dave from Greenmangaming[...]

Any copypasta available to you? I'd like to read it...

was on steam forums, they've said nothing new to be honest

hey @theworldofdavo , when will the information on steam and the website change? The team has been saying it would be changed since the beginning of April, when do we actually get there? Why is it taking so long?
will you continue to ignore questions regarding this matter, from me and others?

I saw him beginning to type
but then the corporate part of his conciousness kicked in ^^(edited)

Ramses - Today at 11:21 AM

“When will the information on steam and the website change?”

I can’t confirm a date. I hope it’s soon, but it’s depending on some matters I can’t discuss or influence.

“The team has been saying it would be changed since the beginning of April, when do we actually get there?”

It still will be changed, but sadly timelines slip.

“Why is it taking so long?”
As flippant as this might sound, game development is very hard and again, with matters I can’t discuss, things have had to remain fluid at the moment.

“will you continue to ignore questions regarding this matter, from me and others?”
I / We have answered questions on this matter before, and there’s an element of when to say something - Do you want to hear the same thing I said last time, or would you like to hear something new? Sadly, this time, you’re going to hear the same messaging we’ve had before. I seriously can’t wait to talk more about it, nor can Pogosan, or the rest of the team.(edited)

Well thats a whole lot of nothing :smiley:

It's less a question but more of a demand: change it already!

@theworldofdavo ''"will you in any (way) compensate or apologize for the people who bought the game during the time the advertisement on steam and the website was faulty? Will you offer an explanation why it took so long?''
Would really like to know the answer to this question^(edited)

Ramses - Today at 11:44 AM
"Depending on some matters I can't discuss or influence" So I'm asking the worng person then. Who should I go to for answers if not you, pogosan or the dev team? Who are deciding these matters? You can't keep throwing the ball around, who's responsible?

"Game development is hard" I'm not asking about developing the game - I'm asking for changing a few lines of text on steam and the website. How can that be "very hard"?

"We have already answered" No you absolutely and resoundly have not.
1. Why oh why is it taking so long? The "game development is hard" excuse only takes you so far - we're not asking for radical changes in the game, we're asking for you to stop falsely advertising your product by correccting the information. This is nothing more than changes to a text.
2. Do you disagree with the critique that this is false advertising? Do you think you are in the right here?
3. "will you in any (way) compensate or apologize for the people who bought the game during the time the advertisement on steam and the website was faulty? Will you offer an explanation why it took so long?"

I wouldn't say exactly one person is responsible. That's more on the 'matters that can't really be discussed' catagory, I'm afraid.

Celt`SerGoblinite - Today at 11:46 AM
Answer 3rd question pls

Ramses - Today at 11:46 AM
someone has to be responsible at some end
someone or some group of people

theworldofdavo - Today at 11:47 AM
@Celt`SerGoblinite I can't really answer that question; that's a conversation that is very much above my station.

Celt`SerGoblinite - Today at 11:48 AM
Where can I get the answer from?

Ramses - Today at 11:48 AM
Now you're consistantly deflecting by avoiding respnsibility. You are the head of marketing in the company that owns Okam, are you not? If not you, who else?

and he goes away, just as we were getting somewhere

[njames89]

Looks to me like Davo is scampering around the issue here.

Although maybe he just had some shrimp scampi on the stove and didn't want it to burn...

Also possible he is camping and lost internet reception...

Man, this whole OKAM situation is so fucking shady. From DC getting cut with no explanation suddenly, to OKAM having secret developers or something, to the only public face not even being able to elaborate on why their scammy Steam information can't be changed... what the fuck is going on?

OKaM is SAVED! Crpg needs chests too. 😝

[zottlmarsch]

So they had the time to create new gamrmode that nobody wants and levelling systems that nobody wants but don't have the 3 minutes spare to create a different colour surcoat that's not white. Die.

Also don't forget there is no control on the main menu
