"Also, the community support we hoped to see, has not really been significant enough."
Many of us are probably waiting to see something, literally something, that would make us think, this attempt of creating a MMORPG will see light of the day in a state that anyone will want to play it.
Yet we've been left quite hopeless when it comes to that aspect. Perhaps you could try your luck on Kickstarter and you'll see others voice out the same thing as I.
Any good MMORPG's take millions to make, this just feels like another cash crab from Steem community who knows no better and has high hopes.
So how about you guys start showing something that will make people want to support you?
To prove me wrong, what have you guys shown us other than some asset running and jumping in a small scene? How long would it for me, a complete amateur, to make that same scene happen? A day perhaps? Yet you keep asking for more money and support. At this point it's like you're asking us to throw more money to your enormous hopes and dreams with not much backing up.
So please change that, make us want to give you money. Talk less about money, and show us the work.
Well, that's not the case because we have received over 14,000 dollars from just 42 people in crypto, fiat and over 30,000 sp in delegation. We started fundraising as the crypto market started to collapse.
Also, we normally don't spend 250-500 a post to get it to the top of trending for advertising unless it's kind of important. We don't really talk about money much in our posts, this is the first time lack of support has really been brought up in a post.
As for not showing much:

We share a bit in the discord and don't always make posts on small changes. People in the discord see things a lot more often then we post. Also, they tend to see things before they post.
Don't tell me you are seriously showing that as an proof of work? 12k is a lot of money actually, I feel sorry for those guys. Is there a way for these people to get their money back? Time and time again these assets you're showing can be done by anyone following a few hour tutorial... I might have to find my old unity multiplayer project and show that around, it actually has functionality also.
And what happened with the twitter version you were building here and asking all kinds of different funding and investing for it as well? I'm not sure are you just honest dude who's trying his best but falling short or something totally else, I'm having to lean to the latter part more and more.
I wish you luck but this is just starting to look sad. My estimation is when even the little funding you're getting through these posts runs out, you'll figure out something else and try to get money out from these people who don't have a clue. But for that to happen time has to take place and reality to sink in.
Perhaps you should limit the scope of your project if you actually want to get something polished out. Perhaps even focusing on tech that connects these game engines to Steem so you could perhaps sell it for small fee to others.
Good luck with your project yet again.
My advice for anyone seriously wanting to play this MMORPG, check out Crowfall and Camelot Unchained, their history and progress. Usually games like these take 5 years to make with and experienced team with serious funding.
I need some more SP so I can reply more frequently, this is a pain in the ass.
Yes, we're showing it as proof of work, this is how games are developed. Before they are brought over to the engine. The reason for the post you're commenting is we want high quality so this is the map being reworked in world-machine pro.
We said there are things that have not been put in posts. Like multiplayer functionality working.
Just because not everything is posted don't mean things aren't happening. As you stated games take years to complete. We're working to release a beta. Not a full game, nowhere have we stated this will be a fully complete game in a few months.
So hows Chibera doing these days?
