>>55389751Hi, I've followed the development of this for years and have been involved as well.
It failed because someone (Sheer) had the bright idea of not releasing meaningful updates between now and the ambitious multiplayer update and none of his sycophants would ever tell him that's dumb. Staff are also very clique-y (one of the now-detransitioned main programmers filled the project with useless fluff like a mode that recreates the canon games with its own mechanics, among other side projects, which didn't help).
Programming help was closed for a while, which makes sense for a consistent project, but meant it'd be first come first serve for vultures like these that didn't even stick with the project long after fucking with it.
And on top of that, a lot of their newer ideas just suck. Said former tranny is also behind a lot of the future "lore" and it's all complete schlock that ruins the feeling of the game. The devs have also taken the stance of wanting Wilds to be hypercasual (basically a walking sim), so it has no future even if they WERE productive.
The one good thing I can say is that when they DO finally get off of their asses, they're at least committed to modding potential so someone can just fix the game later.
tl;dr trannies distracting from the main project and the main dev being a gullible idiot that can't select good devs that aren't lazy
