Oh, and btw, this isn't their only project. They are also doing Factorio (I think it's called).

If anything, the main reason things are taking as long as they are is tax related. While I can't speak for how things are done where they are based out of, as somebody who works for a small business owner, it is a major undertaking to keep things balanced even with a good accountant. Then there's the fact that they probably had to jump through a bunch of legal hoops to make updates to their business account and then acquire whatever permits they needed to get for infrastructure improvements which can take WEEKS and/or MONTHS to finalize, and that's assuming there were no mistakes made during the initial filings.

With that all in mind, they probably lost the better part of a year just getting things straightened out so they could move forward fully as opposed to snails-pace like they've had to.

Thankfully things look like they're starting to pick up as we're getting a gameplay trailer in a couple days, and those aren't usually released very long before the actual update/release itself happens. Just be patient, we'll get our answers one way or another fairly soon.

Ya know if the devs woulda just came out and said something like this and or "Hey we hired a few more people and this is what happened" i think everything would be cool. we'd then understand? i just wish there was like "hey we still totally plan to finish the game all the way to ashlands and deep north but it will take some time." just some more communication :3 i think patience revolves around assurance. I also believe we can all be little whiney kids and want epic more content and the only reason we are complaining is because we all love the hell out the game and want more of it :3 i'm guilty on a level of this. I am dying for more Valheim.

HOWEVER i must also say on tuesday there is a going to be a stream sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this the news good or bad will probably be able to calm my nerves from freaking out and being like "WTBanana is going on with valheim! rawrrr!" yeah. i do that.

I don't know why so many people keep going on about "what was promised". I don't remember any promises at all. When they came out with that Road Map they said it was what they hoped to accomplish that year. That doesn't sound like a promise to me. They later said that that was ridiculously optimistic. Granted, development has been unreasonably slow, but again, I don't care. If they never add anything to the game from here on, I'd still think that this is the best game I've ever played.

This game is dead. Just leave it at that until the devs get off their bums and get stuff done at a quicker pace. If they invested in more team members from their initial massively profiting launch they'd be in a much better position. Just give up hope and when it comes, it comes. Go on to another game until then.

I would be changing camps as you said except that 1) I think the game is fine as it is and 2) there is no guarantee that any future changes they make will make it a better game. If they change it, they change it. If they don't...Well I don't really care either way.
