I’ve come across a bug, which is the game starting in a smaller window, then the intro zooms out to the defined (via the [-] SCREEN SIZE [+] buttons), but then the game starts in a small window. I’m using chrome. Not sure if this has already been reported, do you have any kind of bug tracker?
Do you have any plans for a minimap/mini-nav? I tried explaining what I mean but it was easier just to make a gif: i.imgur.com/hEAEJBX.gif
Can’t wait to see how the lighting effects you’re working on turn out.

Love you, Farbs
]]>(I apologize for the rambling that follows)
But it’s not like Farbs has any personal to any of us to get this done in a timely fashion, and getting frequent updates won’t make it come out any faster either.
Clearly he has his own vision for how this thing is going to turn out and his own reasons for making it, and that’s really the way it ought to be when you’re making games. Maybe now is just not the time for communication or user feedback.
I completely understand the desire for updates, and I’m not even sharing I don’t share in it. However, at the end of the day either the game gets finished or it doesn’t. Either patience will be rewarded or it won’t. Whether we get regular updates today isn’t going to matter a few years down the line, and being impatient certainly doesn’t help the situation.
At the end of the day all we can reasonably hope for is that we get a great little game at the end of the line. There are plenty of other games out there to play in the meantime, so just let yourself be distracted for a while. You can always come back later- there’s no need to focus too much energy on this one thing.
Regular updates are just a nicety, not something to be expected. I mean, look at what the Black Mesa team did; they were virtually silent for years and they ended up shipping an awesome remake of Half-Life in the end. The wait is frustrating in the moment, but whatever you get at the end is always going to be there.
