    Time to bitch about not being kept in the loop again :p

    A bimonthly update would do wonders.

    This game is now off my radar. Sorry but the lack of updates have been a turn off and now I'm not lookin forward to this.

    Wow I fail to see your logic? So because a dev is hard at work making a game, instead of posting everyday to tell you what they have been doing you now want the game less?
    Well your loss as prevail is going to be amazing!

    It's about keeping the people following the game hungry. A few crumbs on a regular basis is usually the best strategy to keep people hot for a game. Too little and they starve, too much and they binge and get sick.

    Different people do the above at different rates but I think that the same goes for pretty much everyone. I've gone from keeping an eye on this game on a daily basis to checking up every couple of weeks or even months. I understand that the dev is busy and that that is a good thing (making a brilliant game and all that) but nobody is busy enough that they can't at least post an update (even a few sentences will do).

    i agree on that. I was checking for it on a daily base aswell. Waiting for the "big surprise" to be unvealed. Nothing happened. Signed up for the e-mail newsletter. Not a single email yet.

    The massive lack of information (about the game and its possible release date) just results in disinterest. At least in my case. And it STILL says first quearter 2012 on their website. To me, this seems to be the wrong method to campaign for your game.

    And i think they once said that they prefer releasing a game thats not a 100% perfect, to wait for user-critics and fix sims by updates instead of polishing it until the apocalypse. Im sorry.

    Fully agree. The other two games I'm waiting for apart from this one are Topia and Drifter, and in both cases they give signs of being alive. They are few and scarce between them, but they give them, so I keep my interest. For example, Topia dev just posted a new entry in his blog after 3 months without news.

    IMHO, Prevail is becoming a project like Car Jack Streets 2, so I'm losing hope that it will ever come out. I know these games are big and complex to develop, but as beelzebubble says, you need to keep people hot for a game.

    quoting from the JTS-Forum

    "Hello! Prevail is due for release in September, but that date might change if Apple set the release date later.
    We’re trying our hardest to get the game out, it’s been a really tough few months over at JTS, lots of hiccups (not our fault) that meant we had to put Prevail on a slower schedule (to pay some bills). But we did a lot of work on it in the last month and we are so close to a release date.
    The biggest problem is the game is massive. The whole “do any thing, any time” has been really hard to adjust for, so we built a lot of tools to automate this for us and the tools are really complicated, mainly written by @Hugo. They have taken a lot longer than we thought because we decided to move the whole game over to using tools.
    So if we want to make a new mission, we can do it really fast. Same if we want to add a new species, planet or galaxy. It’s all super fast to do.
    Anyway, I update the homepage today with a new graphic that shows some unseen spaceships and the New Futron planet. Enjoy it."

    Well it seems all you folks whining about no details failed to mention you only read touch arcade and can't be bothered to check their offical website for any details.
    As it sure looks like its set for coming in september providing all goes well.

    Can't wait to finally play this, looks like it might be time to have another play through of plunderland.

    No. I was checking their forum on a daily base. And in fact, the members of their forum were complainig that JTS release more information on TA than they do on their own site. Anyway, now we finally got some more details and im happy with that!

    Well I'm glad there's some new info, but I am disappointed that the dev abandoned us for this long

    I was checking it regularly, twitter, too, Mr. Knowitall. No need to be so smug, there is a difference between whining and a having a reasonable request.

    Any chance of an update? I checked twitter and the official forums but couldn't find anything. Still hanging for this game.
