I should have looked before I wrote it but yeah they started as 4 and have a lot more now. They still don't work together at the same office though.

Dude, this game started with 4 people working together from across the ocean. You can't compare their working hard to the working hard of an office filled with veterans from previous studios working together in the same space. Ghost Ship even describe themselves as a "mid-sized game studio." I would almost say you comparing them to 4 dudes working through the internet out of their homes an insult to Ghost Ship.

I think The Indie Stone only have 6 people still to this day. A better comparison would be Stardew Valley, which even though in the original concept was always meant to be multiplayer it took over 2 years after the official release to be added. That wasn't early access either, that was 2+ years of full release sales saying multiplayer would come in a free update.

I for one applaud The Indie Stone for not releasing B41 to the main branch until multiplayer works to their liking, regardless of how much people ask for them to release their current progress.

Bld 41 came out almost 2 years ago. "Working hard" isn't exactly the words i would use.

I hope you're right, but calling that working hard is insulting to dev like ghost ship games

I dunno man, devs are still working hard. Last blog update was just 3 days ago

Sad this game will never see completion
