But I poked through a few threads, and my gosh, your gamers are nasty people, and you guys are copping it hard, and all this hate has nothing to do with you or your studio.

Your responses to all this have been calm measured, humble, kind, understanding.

This deserves a shout out, and I have renewed hope for where this game is heading, simply because of your temperament, and your ability to take a verbal barrage with grace and dignity, and still make use of the crumbs of feedback amongst the fire.

Pull your head in people, stop being so entitled, your $10 doesnt give you permission to act like this.

I will be keeping a closer eye on this game than I intended when I arrived in this forum.

Wow, thank you Doctarock. Reading this genuinely means a lot to the team (and to me personally).

It isn't always easy to sift through the fire to find those 'crumbs of feedback,' as you perfectly put it, but we do it because we believe in the game and we know that a lot of that anger stems from a place of passion for the genre.

As a fellow dev, you know the drill: Early Access is a marathon, not a sprint. Having people like you notice the human effort behind the screen is a huge morale booster.

Thanks for keeping an eye on us!

lol bro open unity once thinks his a dev haahha

FunPimps are devs that did not treat their community very well.
The FunPimps are slow to deliver, steal from mods and don't deliver on their promises.
Because they are associated with this game people are avoiding it.
I would not buy it because I am resolved in not giving TFP my money either directly or indirectly through their IP

The only thing I see related to that other ip is the skins.
Its a different game and im enjoying it.
The demo progress carries over when ya buy this hidden gem.

There is a wide world of programming that doesnt include Unity fellow, not a game dev, but I probably have access to your internet passwords

Agreed, I am a huge part of the 7 days community and it really irks me the way they/we are treating these guys - they're clearly victims of mistaken identity but are dealing with it very well, better than any other could I'd say. Keep it up guys, really hope to see the game flourish

Ok, hacker123. LMAO, you need to get off the internet. Also, the dev is just a bot who is replying to people.

what? what gives you the impression dave is a bot?
everyone says everything is a bot now. Its bizarre

He's one the founders. He'll still be around after he and the other execs inevitably pulls the plug on the game and most these devs + absent Q&A team... it used to be some the others answering these back in November but I guess they needed his paygrade to handle this level of Steam PR

Hey Spookman,

Correct, I co-founded iLLOGIKA almost 17 years ago.

I didn't plan on answering questions directly on Steam post-launch, but when I saw the numbers and the comments, I coordinated with our Community Manager and decided to step in personally. The expectation was for me to answer a few questions here and there, but I chose to invest significant time here.

Why? Simply because I care. I care about the team, about the players, and about our publisher. We poured our hearts and souls into this game, and seeing it perform below our most pessimistic projections is tough. It is my duty to do everything I can to help the game perform, protect people's jobs, and protect the studio's integrity.

It has actually been a valuable learning process. I normally work on the B2B side, and aside from working the PAX booth a few times (and meeting many awesome members of the 7 Days community there), I haven't done much Community Management. Setting aside the dire situation of the game, I have genuinely enjoyed interacting with you guys, even the critical ones.

We are now working on a long-term plan that fits the current reality, with the specific intent of making the game's operation sustainable so it stays available.

(And to Frank: Beep boop. 🤖 Just kidding, definitely a human here).

I don't care

I love the game and ill keep making groups and having fun.

Yall went beyond my expectations. probably just needs some juice for more population.
