i'm going to throw in the towel and call it abandoned. He's not answering emails, not posting on either twitter acct, and not posting on the website. we're coming up on 1 year since 1.4.

He has gone a year before, but this game is getting real long in the tooth at this point and no one is playing it.

I found this article a while back from 2012. It's interesting that a guy with probably the least focus of any dev i've ever come across on steam is talking about games failing due to lack of focus. I'ts almost like he was predicting his own future.

Possibly the reason Clayffo is always saying it is because Jon so regularly abandons the game for years at a time, and every time he does so the incentives to return to it get exponentially smaller. There's little goodwill left in the playerbase, and really little playerbase left either. Almost everyone who actually cared about this has moved on.

At this point, it's pretty clear ATG is never going to be a good game, and won't be completed. It has some cool ideas in it but it's mostly a curiosity now rather than a serious project.
