And the farce marches on

I won't copy and paste the waste of time, but the Jester in Chief posted another "update" about the results of the feedback form he started "alpha testing" back in January.  Yes, that's right, he was Alpha testing his Feedback Form.  

One of his big discoveries is apparently that people who paid him money for an MMO were not interested in a single player colony sim game.  Truly incredible info...

"when asked about a single-player colony sim vs. an MMO4X / MMOGS, there was almost a 2:1 ratio of people interested in an MMO than a single-player game. This showed a clear interest in multiplayer gameplay and less in the specific genre."
"Due to peoples' interest in multiplayer gameplay, getting something playable into backer hands as quickly as possible, and the recent set of excellent colony sims released, I've shifted to a purely top-down approach for the remainder of CoE's development. This means starting at the highest level of abstraction and working my way down."

He spend his time talking about various priorities for previous promised projects such as Elyria Mud, Elyria chat, Prologue, Kingdoms of Elyria Settlements, Kingdoms of Elyria Domains, Kingdoms of Elyria Online, and Kingdoms of Elyria Legacies. And one supposes, the actual Chronicle of Elyria Game that people paid for fits in there somewhere.

He has apparently spent his time so far this year divided between working on KOE, working on the website, consulting for his "licensee" on their mobile MMO, and... yes... mentoring high school students in programing and game development. Apparently until Feb he was teaching a class for 3 days a week at the high school.  No word on why that discontinued in Feb.  But we can likely guess...

He then invited people to watch him play Crusader Kings 2.  Yup... not any of HIS "games", but watch him play an actual game published by some other company.

And thus, the farce goes ever on.

The only court that jester should be playing at is the law courts.

I'm surprised he found 3 people to fill in his survey...

Kingdoms of Elyria Legacies

Yup, he does have one all right.

Scot

Whatever he is meant to be doing now he is either living of what he managed to con players out of, on the dole or working on something else.

I think it could be the latter, in which case he would be shown for what he is because you can't be working and continuing all these pie in the sky projects.

Will he never get his comeuppance?

Don't you understand?  He is on The Hero's Journey... These are simply challenges in his character arc on his way to ultimate triumph.
