![]() Usually, I’d think that it’s a “they said, he said” situation but… his message on Patreon (linked above) bothered me a whole lot.Įven if all the people on the team were only hired, it’s just bad manners of him as the lead developer to sit back for two years and not work on the game at all before cutting everyone off, claiming that they ran off with his money and quit on their own, and just blaming the quality to drop because of their work. Eventually, I found out that he hired a bunch of programmers and an artist that did all of the art without getting credited… And well, more stuff came out about him that is somewhat problematic. He apparently made it in two weeks and it looked promising and I liked the demo and played it a lot and even subscribed to the newsletter that kept me up-to-date about the state of the game. There was a free alpha ages ago and I remember the newsletter stating that he was the only developer for the game. Initially, I thought that HopFrog/Mariano was the only developer that was working on the game. The multiplayer update, while announced a while ago, had a beta that was poorly made and several issues… but then it got cancelled as Mariano aka HopFrog mentioned on Patreon. ![]() The combat update was great but monsters became annoying later on and mods broke the game completely, despite mod-support being a thing. The issues that the game has, however, are that certain updates made it worse and worse over time. The grind eventually made the bright moments even brighter and it was a nice experience to dive into from time to time. You need experience, materials, and money, but the relaxed nature of the game allowed it to make the grind-heavy mechanics never feel too bad and rather enjoyable. ![]() ![]() I even recommended the game in a review a while ago but the game got updated and had a lot of tweaks to it… and eventually multiplayer got announced, which seemed rather promising… but just recently it got cancelled due to a plethora of reason, which is why I wanted to make a post about Forager, Hopfrog and the many issues that became more apparent now.įorager always was sort of grindy. Forager is an Indie Game that I really adored and praised in the past. ![]()
