Yes usually updates in December and July, but obviously a bit later now, due to probably a bigger update or other stuff xD but we know it's usually 2 updates a year as it's been for the past several years

Hello 'Bartolucci²⁵¹¹' ,

A STEAM Early Access game is considered 'Unofficially Abandoned', if there has been no game Update, during a 6-month period of time.

SUBSISTANCE Alpha Stage game has not been Updated in 231 days (7 months and 19 days).

Ipso-Facto this game is abandoned.

----

After more than 8 years in Alpha Stage development, with millions-of-dollars of Early Access Investor money, SUBSISTENCE remains a discordant, illogical, shambles — running on an error-filled, Dead Game Engine..

Now Unofficially Abandoned❗

Good Luck & Regards

damn, looks like i will be uninstalling it, my brother and i used to play this a whole lot, thankyou for letting me know

Bartolucci it hasn't been abandoned the dev just takes his time to bring out updates an when they come out they are very well presented managed an run efficiently. The last big update was the cable cars an new weapon an tweaks to the game after much players feedback.

Hello 'PureHTDz' ,

The DENIAL STAGE of Grief is a common and natural response to a significant loss, acting as a buffer against overwhelming emotions.

It's typically the first stage in the Kubler-Ross model, where individuals may experience shock, disbelief, and emotional numbness.

This stage helps individuals cope with the initial impact of the loss by temporarily minimizing the pain and allowing them to adjust to the new reality.

----

SUBSISTENCE had the potential to become a 100-million-dollar game — unfortunately this game has NEVER been under Professional or Realistic Development.

Absent an immediate Upgrade to an alternative proprietary, or Licensable graphics engine (e.g., Unreal Engine 4), SUBSISTENCE Alpha Stage game is DEAD ... hence the unofficial abandonment.

End of story❗

----

The Developer will never know what he lost, because the Developer never really knew what he had..

Good Luck & Regards

'Absent an immediate Upgrade to an alternative proprietary, or Licensable graphics engine (e.g., Unreal Engine 4)'

Do you think it is realistic for a single dev to do that in 6 months and add updates? Just curious to see what other's opinion on that are.

Hello 'hyperion' ,

YES I DO "think it is realistic for a single dev to do that in 6 months"..

----

Keep in mind Subsistence is little more than 2GB in File size.

By todays standards that is a very, very-small game.

Subsistence is even smaller than most of todays Game Demos on STEAM.

----

HOWEREVER, we are talking about ColdGames here..

And ColdGames NEVER Updated the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), from UE3, to either the Full Version of UE3, and/or the Full Version of UE4 (both of which were available at the time).

A Colossal, Deliberate, Inexcusable, Failure❗

----

I stand by my original comments above, Subsistence is Unofficially Abandoned, and/or DEAD..

Good Luck & Regards

Don't listen to Cup of Idiocy. There is likely an update coming this year.

Your problem is you have absolutely no clue what it takes to design and maintain a game. And even less what it takes to update an old engine to a new one. Your opinion is about as valid as someone claiming the Earth is flat.

All of the code is compiled, so the 2G doesn't mean that much in regards to how much work it is, it can still be a LOT of code.

Do you do games development?

I mean, you must be basing that opinion on something?

There is no upgrade path from UDK to UE4. All of the code will have to be rewritten. So if updates are already developed and ready to go, ALL of that code will have to rewritten as well. So I'm sure if the dev was going to UE4, he would not have started on updates already, as he would be aware of this.

Completely realistic and there are plenty of examples

well the only person who can really say this game is being worked on still or not is the developer himself, it doesnt matter what another persons opinion is whether they call it abandoned or not it doesnt change the fact that ONLY the developer knows the real truth

who knows maybe with the next update coldgames is changing the games engine

Name one game with one dev that has upgraded to UE5 and added updates in 6 months. Mist attempted it but failed miserably AND he is not a solo dev any more.
Not saying there isn't any out there(I dont play every game) but I seriously doubt there are "plenty" that meet that criteria.
