And yet Rob wants to start another forum sometime soon. Since I donated a dollar to the UQ Kickstarter, I get the emails and updates when he does actually make them.
So, not only has he changed the art style of the game, he's taken out the character creation aspect of the game entirely. He's now making the playable characters be ones you recognize from the show, which he's rebooting as well. Instead of making your own character, you play as Schmoopy, Roamin, etc.
That's two drastic changes to the game because he can't make his mind up. I'm cool with him being successful still and making neat things besides UQ and that he's dedicated to UQ despite doing all of that, but as a customer, if I had donated more than $1 to the Kickstarter, I'd be a little more than angry at this point. That doesn't take into account the amount of time it's taken him to get to this point, let alone the release of the game being left behind light-years back down the road. If the game comes out at all looking like what was originally pitched, I'll be surprised.
Not to mention Danny talking about how the game was originally just him and Rob working on it and it was meant to be a simple Pokémon style game with the UR lore and content behind it, but then it got scrapped entirely.
But if Rob wants to keep trying to make a game he's literally spent years on just trying to figure out the basics, all while creating another community when he's had enough examples of why he should never run a community again (in regards to his own personal health) and while his other projects are being developed just fine without trouble and are actually real cool, then alright, I guess.
Oh and, #bigpost
