Quote titles are a great way of finding out which commenters didn’t watch the video… I’m literally defending the game kids, chill
well you pulled those kids in with the title
Don’t act like you don’t like the attention Resonant 😏
Okey "kid", nice way to speak to the people who watch your videos.
You clearly don't deserve 176k, KID, grow up.

I bought it to help developer, but I will played it when it will be finished.
same, got a pretty big town and then decided to wait for updates, i got about 20 hours
Same here - played few times, saw that it is lacking at the moment (as I was suspecting when buying), but promising, and I'm waiting patiently for further development.
Basically me as well.
@@clontroper5same nave not touch it maybe never will but cool idea so here my 40 bucks
See you in 5 years, Took 7 to get to this.
Bro it's summer, and we all know the game isn't finished, most of us bought it to just support the production
true mate besides I need to touch not only grass but also some beach sand🤣🤣
Exactly this. Bought it and never played. Just waiting.
Early Access devs need to understand that it's 'hurry the fuck up time" as soon as they go into an EA release.
@@pizzaman6784 🤡
It's summer yes but here in the Netherlands it's autumn 😅 with all the rain and sometimes a lost sun.
I'm honest that I playing this game alot ❤ like it much, trying diffrent tactics diffrent building schemes. Can't wait for more content but I'm glad to give them some funds
I bought it to support the devs.
The fuck is that title? Dying? it s not a mmo. People just runs out of things to do.
It is in quotation marks... this is not the creators own opinion. He asks if this position has any merit or not. And from what I see and hear in this video he does not agree with this statement.
bought it to support the game production, i will come back when the game has more stuff to do, no rush
This should be the mindset of anyone buying an early access game.
It's a commitment to helping developers realize their vision.
Well Said my guy
Wait, people are upset they pushed the dev to release the game early and not polished? Who could of seen that coming?
Pushed the dev? Its not like he was bullied everywhere, he just keeps getting too in touch with the comunity which is always bad. There needs to be a certain filter between the dev team and the comunity. Greg doesnt have it and this is why he is constantly complaining and having burnouts. He just cant put down social media. You cant blame players for everything.
The game was obviously overhyped. Everyone knew this. Greg knew this. Most players that actualy followed manor lords knew this, but many of those who ended up buying it didnt. Imo greg is complaining a bit too much and realy needs to put down social media, because everything that has been happening was predictable and its not his fault. He just needs to put a barrier up, stop giving so much atention to every opinion given, do a sean murray from NMS, and just focus on his dev team and the development of the game.
I really want this game to be what the dev initially wanted it to. I just want to build a decent little settlement with the stone manor/castle that is shown right in the banner for the game. I am not expecting Final Frontier + Total War, but at least let us get to the stuff they show in the artwork.
Agree
Dude, the game is not even out. It's a game under development, calm down. Hungry audience... 88% positive on almost 45 000 reviews... The majority of people are not disapointed by that game at all. They try it at first. See the potential and stuff to do. And just wait. That's exactly the goal of early access : Money for the development. With the first week with over 100 000 players each days, he get a lot of feedback for the rest of the year to work with.
Agreed
You did not watch the video...
Or even read the title. @@Shroud83
Believe it or not a game devs goal is to sell copy of games, not keep Concurrent players high. It sold a ton of copies and will almost certainly continue to have surges of sales when there are major updates or the full release
Also it's a Great game!
I'm 275 hours into Manor Lords. I got all the achievements and have been having a fun time. I feel like I got my money's worth, even if they ended development right now.
same
It seems the concept of Early Access has been lost on a lot of people. You are getting access to an unfinished, unpolished, incomplete game to either help test it, get it at a cheaper price or help fund it. You are not getting a complete game or one that is nearly ready to go. I really think it should be re-labelled "Early Access Alpha" or "Early Access Beta" to help people understand. Can anyone tell me how long Baldur's Gate 3 was from Early Access day 1 to Release date please, I am remembering maybe 1 year or more ??????
OK I found my answer, it was in EA for 3 years.
@@garyduddell3224 Manor lords wasnt early in EA for 3 years but in development for that with only 1 dev for almost all 3 years, it's a massive project that's doing really well
@@falconstorymanHe wasn't talking about Manor Lords being in early access for three years but Baldur's Gate 3 having been.
@@falconstoryman Yes I fully defending it and said BG3 was in EA for 3 years, not Manor Lords.
@@garyduddell3224 oop my bad sorry
"Mimimi, the game I bought in early acces isn't finished!", "Why hasn't it expanded yet into a wolrd spanning map painter!"... People need to chill. Let the man finish the damn game in his own time and be happy with what you get. I remember playing games with two factions, 10 maps, and 16 building each FOR YEARS.
I expected this, have no regret There is no rush. I played the M&B demo CD for 5 years before the game was released
It's not fair to compare it to a AAA game. I'm just happy that this humble passion project received so much recognition.
That's the point: He does NOT compare it with triple A.
It is a Singleplayergame, so what is the problem? Firstly I bought it in EA in order to support the dev, secondly what is already there is very robust, I´m looking forward to the finished product.
this game is basically at proof of concept level of development and i still put 42hrs into it, that's amazing. i don't play it anymore as i did everything there was to do, but im super happy how that early access turned out and this is a game that i actually think about from time to time and i wait for next content
It still has more players than a triple-A title with a live service xD It isn't dead.
It takes time for a gem to be polished.
the game was in development for many years.
@@MrImmortal709by one dev. And now a super small team. The games gonna be massively better as it gets updates
@@falconstorymanOne dev and multiple freelancers taking away hundreds hours of work from main dev...
A single player game that is pretty barebones right now. Why would anyone expect about the player count to not drop? People are not going to play the same game over and over again, especially not in early access. People will pick it up again once updates drop.
I feel like this is just games journalists being games journalists again i.e. not understanding games at all - they said the same thing about Elden Ring a year after it came out.
Bro why are people complaining? He said many times before he makes something new in the game, hes going to polish the game even more so there isnt so many bugs and glitches. Also its only one guy, not a triple a company. You have to give him time.
I’m excited to come back to this game every 6 months or so to watch it grow.
bought it to support the studio. loved the game, looking forward to it being finished and then I will play it again.
people freaking out about manor lords player numbers are strange people
it's not an MMO
it's not even multiplayer (yet)
people freaking out about this don't know what good games are
Agreed, 5000 players right now, that's decent for a game like this. Ive played mmo's with less
I think people are coming from the point of modern games always needing multiplayer now, so player base always seems like a big deal. What they don't realize is that a big playerbase is not needed for single player games.
it will never have mp
I haven't played since the big market overhaul, not because I'm disappointed with the content in the game currently or my dissatisfaction with how the team is making updates. But because I don't want to burn myself out on the game for when big content drops come.
Manor Lords is a project I want to play and support, not because it's big and flashy, or scratches a gaming itch (which admittedly it does) or have the devs promise us it will do everythong we ever wanted; but because its something I feel has been missing from the industry for a long while. A quality product, with a more than reasonable price, that isn't overstuffed with an ingame store or road maps that won't be lived up to. It is a game, that is what it says on the tin. For a game like that, I'm willing to wait as long as I need to.
Same
no i wont care about it till its finished, PLEASE i beg all of you to send a reply to this comment WHEN THE GAME IS TRULY FINISHED (NOT WHEN THERES A BIG UPDATE) but like, i did what everyone else did, support a game with a promising result so i dont care if it dies or not as long as the DEV him self does not leave it
The game has good bones and foundation, all it needs is end game mechanics and a little bit deeper systems and it’ll be perfect. I did think we would be getting patches a little bit faster than what we are getting, but if it’s just one guy it’s understandable
I just wanted the stalls and basic mechanics worked properly.
I will back to play it just when it works properly.
The game has so much potential and the sound track is amazing .
You know the dying out of players playing, might very well be a blessing in disguise, after all this will reduce the amount of pressure, and gives more time to improve and bring in more and more updates for the game.
I loved the game and am happy to have bought it in EA. The dev clearly is passionate and I feel no shame in supporting him in his endeavor. I presume like many others, I will continue coming back to the game as more content is added.
I totally agree to what you say. It was clear from the beginning that it is still in development. There is no expectation for anything really soon. But still have so much potential, that as pointed, I am happy playing in other titles until next manor lord big update comes down. And for sure when the king is in the game and knights get added, the player base will come. I’ll come 👌
100% agree. Small dev needs to keep their work/life balance at a healthy level. Their personal mental and physical health ishould be top priority, not appeasing a fickle player-base.
The game was in development for 7 years, launched pretty barebones, and yet people still bought it with the expectation of a fully featured road map and regular updates.
that is the problem, if a game is in "development" for almost a decade, you would expect more than 2 hours of content
From what we learned about making a game; They shouldn't rush it.
I bought it and love the game. I play it still. Its not a live service game designed to have continuous play. Its not dieing people have played it abd supported further development. When a major patch comes out you will see player count spike.
You failed to take into account that people are on vacation (as it is summer)
you failed to take into account that it isn't summer in the southern hemisphere.
What? It's dying?? But I just got it and I love it. I've been waiting for a game like this to come along for over 20 years. Manor Lords was the only one that managed to scratch that itch.
Its not dying, this isnt an MMO, let us enjoy the early access and future updates
i fucking love Manor Lords, i havent played it in a while cuz like stated in the video, i put like 30 hours into it and saw everything there is to see and Im so happy the game is finally out! Now im just waiting for some more new stuff to be added and in like 6 months ill probably get addicted to it again.
Bought it early to support a cool developing making a game with HUGE potential! I played a lot at the start, and keep going back all the time. Occasional updates and some cool mods in between always give me enjoyment. I'd love for the full version to be out next month, but am more than happy to wait. Big Gaming Companies are just pissed off we love this game and that we trash their games for churning out shit, and trying to milk us for every penny. FIX YOUR OWN GAMES before you criticise someone trying to do it the RIGHT WAY! Booooooo.... you are the big bad wolf in this fairytale... BOOOOO! 😆
It's early access, not a full release. Argument done.
I generally fear and hate pressure of fans... People like to complain about game producers, though it is gamers who shape producers by feeding them... And gamers demand novelty, but at the same time keep pushing to repeat solutions best known to them...
A choice must be made: high quality and "we launch it when it's ready" approach - or hype, rush, and marketing bullshit.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing a game for only 30 hours. Some of my favorite games took less than 10. I love this game and I’m satisfied with what I’ve gotten from it.
I bought it to support Hooded Horse, played it a little bit and I will play it a lot more once the final release happens. Lot of players did the same thing I did. Dumb titlte, It's not dying
Has anyone said they refunded it? Players are just taking a break between updates... I'm getting back in making a new village every weekend, on and off for now
dude chill its early access for a reason
These are types of games ypu dont play for fking 1000 hours like fo4 starfield etc, for any single player game to be replayed a lot you need MODS.
But regardless, Manor Lords is, and they did amazing job with the game.
Manor Lords is like Workers and Resources Soviet Republic, it had a lot of potential, people doubted it, but look at it now, 1.0 version is out, got released, succeeded to do everything they promised, and also promises to do good until the next new game, so in my opinion what players and people who doesn't play ML should be patient, the Dev team is going to build his path towards the success it was entrusted, millions of people supported this game, and in the end everything is going to matter, Manor Lords can be one of the best city builder game of the next years, the foundation of the game proves that, and the more capable and popular it gets, you can expect the next games to get inspired on Manor Lords, which is what I hope for, it should be a reference for future games.
I bought it on day one of EA release and have not played it since. Not even installed it. Like many others I want to support and wait till it is finished.
I just want an expanded map and new biomes for a little bit of variety because once that’s done i know the modders can take care of the rest for fresh gameplay experiences and fun
"biomes" lmao
@@nostromo9743 environments, etc you know what I mean. Like imagine a coastal map, river, mountain, swampland and other things like that with their own unique modifiers and resource availability. Like rivers you can find gold, mountains there are lots of ores, coast you have access to more aquatic species as food sources and maybe pearls as a resource.
I agree with everything you said. I played 115 hours manor lords since the release (yes, much more than most people) and now I stopped for a while until the game has more content so I can play again. I'm quite sure that most players will play again. Nobody that bought now will forget about the game.
It's not my type of game at all, however I waited and bought Manor lords on release and spent two weeks of several hours each day making mistakes and reclaiming then AI captured lands and enjoying the growth of my cities. I agree with every word in this video and I will definitely come back to this great game, again and again, after some time. Let the developer realize his ideas without rushing and no matter how many years it takes. Thank him for what he gave us.
Like EU4 , this game will get better with age, like me. 😂
I mean, Manor Lords has a pretty typical player curve. Maybe the day 1 peak was a little bigger but 5000 active players is a huge win. And Hooded Horse isn't a typical publisher. The whole "total war" hype was always nonsense and people were wishcasting because CA shit the bed.
The game is awesome. Daddy Greg should not involve himself too much with the fanbase, because the loudest are the moronic, entitled brats: "please localize", "please mp", "please mods" etc. People are demanding so much for a small team. Daddy Greg are trying his best to not make this a No Man's Sky situation. But his involvement in obvious bs should stop. His team should tell him this, I mean, it will cause a burnout if he isn't careful.
I mean give him a bit more time, many other such early access games have had long periods of silence before a major update or process. It's a single player game and so massive swings in high and low player usage is common in such games and Early access titles. If it was a MMO or big Online shooter number: 1,523 etc it then would would make more sense to say it had died.
I mean The Long Dark can't talk, spent years in EA on Steam and then still to this day has slow release of new update and a story not finished either.
I am one of those who dropped after 5 days. Game ain't finished. And too many micro stuff to worry about
Not finished as an Early Access game? Shockers! (the micro stuff is a taste matter, so fair, I needed to get used to it too and hope for some improvements)
@@anonymussicarius8899 You can complain about that if you want, but it's input from someone that paid for it. Most especially with the hype this game was getting for greater attention. If you can't withstand the attention + criticism, probably shouldn't have gotten the game out there for sale with money to begin with.
@@Warmaker01 I said that his criticism on the micro stuff is fair. But his "Game ain´t finished." comment (as well as all the others bitching about) is as sensible as having a suit taylored and complaining during a fitin session that it isn´t a complete suit yet. It´s in EA, ofc it isn´t finished cause otherwise it would be a full release! Manor Lords is exactly in the state games should go into EA, but most crap is put there in a way inferior state of development.
Has the hype drawn attention of ppl who are now dissapointed? Yes, but this doesen´t change the fact that there is already a solid city builder simulation.
@@Warmaker01the fact that he paid for the game doesnt make his "criticism" any less refarded
@@anonymussicarius8899 I'm gonna reinstall when it moves out of early access
I bought it on release, finished the game (after a whole bunch of failures), and now I'm waiting for them to finish the game. If they release any major updates that introduce interesting new stuff, then I'll pop back on, but until then I'm happy to wait.
Totally agree. Brilliant game for what it is, nothing more, nothing less
Man I really agree with you. Very good analysis. It only took me 10h to get my fill of Manorlords, and yet I'm happy with it.
I readn you cant say anything bad about it because it is a real small development team. I went with it to support the game and bought into the hype. Though after playing the game found it needs much work. Limited map and lack of resources for growth is the main pain of playing it. Besides this it was interesting.
Dude, there is only one developer. It takes time to research the information and bugs to fix. What are you? A super developer that takes no time off? You ever go on vacation? What gives? Just want to complain...😒🙄
Watch the video and try again… you just repeated my points
@@ResonantRTS Thank you, you are so right of course. Carry on. 🥴🙃🙂
This game is supposed to be a marathon and it has been out for roughly nearly 3 months now and it’s pretty bad that there no important update. There has been bug changes content added, but it’s a minor content and it doesn’t change much to the game and that’s my problem like this. I have no problem with being a marathon. I understand developing making or anything game is a long-term investment it’s basically a marathon but the problem is the people that are producing or making the game have to set a good pace. They can’t be too slow and they can’t be too fast if you too fast, you put out shit content, but if you’re too slow, you cannot capitalize on the players that are interested in the game now right now they should’ve been doing right now is capitalizing on the hype that has gathered because it would’ve done that they could’ve brought out more content later on and made it better later on because they would’ve got more people to play more people to buy the game that means more money that means more hiring more freelancers more people to help develop the game for later development, which means faster development, which means better faster output without having any issues, but they waited too long again somebody that has been studying. It should’ve been a month and a half. That’s when he should’ve released the big update and it doesn’t have to be like a major big update but you know adding some new content adding more things to players to do. That’s what should’ve been done in the first month and a half adding more stuff, now by the end of this year, maybe beginning halfway through next year the game the base game should be done. It can be there not not saying completely done now, but the foundation of the base game should be there by end of this year or beginning of next year so they can focus on completely updating and adding more content, but they’re taking too long and by the time they release a major update it will be too late, nobody’s gonna wanna play they’re gonna end up losing people on this and this game will be abandoned and I have seen this happen before on video games one game was super hyped up. The developer said he was going to take his time four months ago by before he released a big update by the time release there is no videos about very few videos if everybody just kind of forgot about it, he developed it for about a year before he’s done developing because there’s nobody playing it and nobody supporting him anymore. Literally he quit and it happened more than multiple times. Indy games if they don’t have a good schedule on releasing updates or keeping the player based interest, they end up losing player bases, losing their players and will guess what happens. The game eventually just goes out because they have no one to play and eventually lose support eventually not getting enough money and eventually abandoned the game and this was on the road already. It’s off to a bad start, I said I’m not saying release major update but they need to start adding a decent amount for example. They can add the whole law system in place. They have some laws and that don’t work. Why not just focus on that system add that as your next update, you have it already in place why not fix it and put it in that is something that should be done big enough that it changes the game and adds more content for players to play with but small enough that is not gonna take too much time or too much trouble where you can still continue with the big update, but I understand right now it has nothing to do with it. They just want to switch to the unreal engine five which I think is completely stupid unless there should be more content first before they switch it to the unreal engine because they’re gonna end up doing is delaying themselves further eventually until we receive the game, we have no players and will be in a game that has so much prom abandoned like I said two games exactly like these games already have more promising and I played a couple demos of those two games. These games are already more flushed out then manor lord and that’s bad
Is it still just the one developer? If it is he needs to hire some people with all the money he made, otherwise it'll be mega slow updates
The dev hires contractors for stuff, it isn't a solo dev imo. But he *is* the only one that writes actual code iirc. I guess I would say he is an indie dev but saying solodev oversells it.
i loved the game so far, dont care if i have to wait till like next year for even more improved game with larger map. im gonna play when there is more content.
Great video. Love HH CEO comments - spot on. Community hasn`t gone anywhere and not disappointed about development timeline. I have one game that must be twenty years old or more and I still come back to it. It will be the same for Manor Lords as long as they stick to sustainable development and their shared vision with Slavic Magic. Seems to me they are exactly where I expected them to be and when the next update comes, it`ll be fun to go exploring again. Your comments ring so true. For those who don`t like waiting, they can move on... they don`t get the game nor the experience nor the developer. Do you suppose Salvic Magic might now have a treasure trove of feedback and experience on which to base his next wave of development?! That was what early access was about and giving us all a taste of the environment and systems that he is creating. So glad to have had this appetizer and happy to wait for the rest of the meal cooked just right... not underdone nor overdone.
Looking at the team's size and time. It is still considered good.
They are not, I mean the guy is only doing this alone.
I don't expect the game to be updated every 1 month or so.
I like to see it as a game that aged like a fine wine.
Please please please can people get behind terra forming with water! I really think this would push the game forward as a city builder! Water wheels! Water power for industry and farming! Irrigation! Water features in game like lakes and rivers! Fishing! Also earth works! Love the game btw, cheers @Resonant
How's it dying? It's a 3 man team working their asses off for a single player game.
Bought to support it, played it a bit, waiting for full release
Active players isn't really an accurate metric to measure Manor Lords by. It's a single player game in early access, naturally people are going to check it out and then wait for big updates or finalization. That's really only a metric for live-service, let's not bring measures for that garbage into our single player games. That's what publishers do and is why single-player games are so overlooked by the industry.
I'm happy with the money I spent on it. If they update it that would be great, I'd love more maps.
They need to change strategy and have a big push in terms of maps or castle builder
Yes man changed the core game. The reason why people bought the game lol
Anyone complaining about Resonant being impatient or unfair to the developer/game... the title is in quotation marks. That means it is NOT his own opinion! Watch the video and you'll see he is actually DEFENDING the game/developer.
So, in other words, the game lives through its life cycle as expected for a game of this size and type (small and single player). What is to rant about here? That there is a life cycle at all? The only wrong here is publisher making some vague hints at expecting it to do any better. I think it's a consequence of online distribution - when the game were boxed products, everybody knew the game hit the shelves in the shops and advertisement hit the media, the job was done, it was time either for working on, in a pre-DLC parlance, expansion, or a new title. Now, with online distributor being able to pull out new copies out of thin air, so to speak, there's some hope the dead horse can still move on its own a few more paces, and it's... as dumb as it sounds.
The only other problem is with us. We use "the game is dead" as some sort of pejorative while it is the most normal things under the sun. The game has lived and it died. So will we.
I don’t think what you’re talking about is actually a problem.
That is the entire line I take
I'm one of those still playing a lot. Keep coming up with new ways to play the game. Over 150 hours in. But of course, i'll run out of stuff to do and return when there is new content... but he has a new patch coming out in a few weeks, so maybe that will arrive before I take a break. Still, want to check out the new content for NMS which i've had a long break from as well.
8:03 I am sorry dude, but a game having content and stuff to do is the most reasonable thing a customer can ask from a game
this game was so overhyped and it wasn't worth $40 its worth like 24 tops (not onsale)
EARLY ACCESS: Its not even out yet 🤡
The way I look at wether a game is worth the money or not is a $1 per hour principle. If I spend $30 on a game, I want 30 hours of entertainment. I almost always get that. Compared to other entertainment gaming is pretty inexpensive.
I'll throw out a controversial opinion. The problem with Manor Lords isn't content or early access. It's that the game is derivative. The ant-farm supply chains are straight up lifted from Banished and Foundation. The combat is Total War ultralight. It looks great and is a development miracle. I'm happy to play it and support it, but there's nothing really new about it, beyond the look and specific combination of builder/combat. No amount of new units, building or resources is gonna change that and, sadly, I think player counts will continue to drop as a result.
I bought it because of the recent discount and to try it out. I love the foundation of the game, see it's also unfinished, so I'll mostly wait, maybe play it a bit occasionally.
This guy got squeezed 5-10 rounds out of it? I only did one run that didn't last very well until I understood the fundamentals, then one run until the end, and felt like... I had seen all the game had to offer at that point. What circumstances were going to be different so I had to think or adapt differently if I started a new game? Nothing. So there it was, less than 40 hours of playtime, and I'm thinking "I'll check back in 3 years".
But was it worth the money? For me, it actually was. Just barely. What is actually in the game is quite high quality, even if it's not particularly fleshed out. The ride is short, but it is enjoyable.
However... the game was massively oversold by youtube/twitch hypebeasts. It is nowhere near as deep and replayable as they made it out to be. It was definitively overhyped immensely, and you should admit that. The hype being unrealistic considering the developer circumstances and that people "should have known better" doesn't erase the overhype of gaming content creators.
Rafael's expectations of rapid big updates in early access are unrealistic, but your claim that there is no expectation of new content from the wider playerbase anytime soon is frankly just wrong. You can even see the holes in the tech tree. Of course players expect the game to actually finish over time. That's what early access was supposed to mean.
Ah yes another youtuber making a video on Manor Lords "dying".
The game's been out not even three months and people say it's dead.
Get a grip.
Watch the video and try that comment again… I’m not the one saying it’s dying
Bought the game to help the developer (and as far as I know, it's just one guy); I'm a patient lad, and I will play it when there are major updates/when it's released in its entirety.
I think there is nothing wrong with taking it slowly
I still play it from time to time just different builds and difficulties
Happens with all games. I expect on full release it will pick straight back up again
Bought it when it came out, played it, still playing it no complaints whatsoever
Like he sad it’s a marathon so why should Slavic magic put all his breath into the first month if this game still needs years for 1.0 ?!
im glad when people buy early access at full price then get ripped off its their own fault & no one elses, a lot of them they never had any intention of completing or finishing them, more money than sense (oh i wonder how they build up enough cash in the banks to just pay full price for a game PRE-new rfund policy these days then uninstal it then forget about it, yea we know why they had so much unspent cash in their banks, they rarely leave their f houses (pre spamdemic too) lol) & too dom to see this is one way they are closing down the industry in favour of mobile device games i didnt' even play in the 90s =D
It is a good game, with lackluster content so far and none of the updates added anything really worthwhile into the game so far.
If you bought the game on release and played like 3 hours, you saw everything the game has to offer, and still has months later.
Its EARLY ACCESS you absolute 🤡
But the game hadn't been released. It's in early access, release means full product not a test product that's unfinished.
Not sure you can say it is dying. It was an early access. I am currently playing it and can see it will be similar to other games I play that I pick up, put down and a couple of months later with some updates (or just because I feel like it) I pick it up again.
Haven't bought it yet. I will once it has just a little more content. But I don't want to be burnt out with the game long before it is finished. So I'm playing trough some of my backlog games and will probably buy it this autumn.
Games like this are on and off games so taking a break for weeks or even months and then comming back is not unusual. Even for finished products. I still come back to citybuilders like Anno, the old Stronghold games. Total War etc. I have been playing Rome and Medieval 2 TW yearly since 2004 and 2006. But there can be months in between each session. This is not unusual for singleplayer strategy games.
Game is barebones to say the least if it took Slav this long to get to this point when it’s hardly any different to the playtest we all got to play I have no faith in the future of this game.
Early release bought to play when completed. If it does not complete still all fine. Gave me fun.
ps the idea that just because content developers are running out of 'content' to generate from Manor Lords that it's 'dyaing'... is missing the point somewhat lol. SO what? The majority of the people that love Manor Lords aren't content creators. You nailed it with something you said in the middle of your vid, sometimes you just play it to relax. Ditto! I love starting afresh and just pretending it's my town, with no ultimate goal except to enjoy the life and grow, at my own pace, with no view to conquering the world or developing a megacity with more people than anyone else, or the biggest army on youtube. I just find it relaxing listening to the sounds of people working and building stuff. I don't care if it's not 'content worthy', cos that's not why I'm playing it. In the future when more updates come out I'll for sure be leading giant armies and all that, but until then I'm just relaxing and enjoying it. I must have put about 100+ hours in, but a lot of that was just chilling and enjoying the sounds on regular speed. Just sayin.
Just put Manor Lord, in a Medieval European Map Engine..."Magical"!!! 😍
The problem is they dont give to players big map like in "Crusader Kings" and multiplayer like in "Strong Hold". Implementation of this 2 things will bring and get mor player's back.
Manorlords is not even the same genre of game as those two 🤡
@@nostromo9743 Really.. I didn't know it. Big Thanks you the "enlightener", this world would have collapsed without you and others like you.Of course they are not the same "genre" but some elements could be applied in the game
It's not finished, and not even much a game right now. They need to add different enemies like a game or Risk or Age of Empires and maps with random territories. Right now, it is just one map and one barron to fight against. The game play is pretty predicatbly once you figure out the formula. And, there are too many easy exploits and buggy game play.
its not supposed to be finished you absolute 🤡
Might buy when the game is finished. Middle of summer, got other things to do, like worrying about RL bullshit.
