Just because of the silence and discontinuing of development logs, that doesnt mean I have abandoned the game...
I am working on the game most days, when I can. According to my huge spreadsheet of finished tasks and things left to do, the game is 65% complete. So there is definitely still a long way to go. Many features have changed considerably from past development logs (for the better I think)
Developing a complex 4X space game akin to Stellaris, with one person, and an engine built from scratch is incredibly difficult and takes a long time!
I'm sorry it has taken so long, and I know its very frustrating.
There are many other reasons for the lack of pace... some are personal, so I dont wish to go into them.
If I could go back and do things differently, I would have only announced the game when it was almost complete and ready to be shown.
I would much prefer to work in silence, to keep hype to a minimum and only begin posting updates when the release is imminent.
IF it got to the point where I was going to abandon Galaxial or see no hope of ever releasing, I would post an announcement saying its the end. However... this possibility isnt on my mind, or ever has been.
