Valheim started developement in late 2019/ early 2020, released in early access in Feb 2021. The game started with 6 biomes, and the devs made everything in the game that we now enjoy within the span of about 2 years. The enemies and their ai, the weapons, clothes, movement, building system (probably the most complicated mechanic), etc etc, in those 2 years.
It’s been 1.5 years later, almost as much development time as the original release of the game, and we don’t even have a single new biome. Does no one else see the problem with this?
Why is this a problem?
Because they’re lying to supporters. They know the game’s never being released as it was originally promised. Worse than that, they’re still telling people the games’s not finished, when it 80% is done. We’ll probably get a few things here or there, but the game’s basically content finished. The slow drip while saying “the flood is coming guys, just hold on!” is disingenuous and that’s the part that bugs me.
