Hhhhmmmmmmm… Yeah, so the article mentions that Palworld was created using money from their previous game projects. Incidentally, especially as far as Craftopia is concerned, those games aren’t really finished.
Last I saw Palworld it still looked like a janky alpha, with really bad AI, bad pathfinding, janky animations and physics, clipping… It held me off from buying the game.
Not sure how the current state of the game is, but I’d hazard a guess that it’s still not close to “done”. So the article assures we’re not seeing the last of Palworld, but so far the modus operendi of Pocketpair is to eventually abandon their current, unfinished project for a new one.
That was one of the loudest criticisms and concerns I heard when Palworld was coming out. It’s a perfectly fair point considering the fate of Craftopia and this general state of fear is why I don’t buy into early access games. A lot of modern games release unfinished, don’t get fixed and the custoner is left with an unfinished product and no money, so why exactly would I give money to something where there’s a built-in excuse and it might even take years to find out you’ve been duped?
