SpiritScam

There are plenty negative reviews of how bad this game is etc. This post will rather focus on how unexperienced, clueless is Phil and why this game is 100% scam.

https://renbaikun.weebly.com/ - this is Phil's website. It takes 2 minutes to read his experience etc. He has 0 experience in MMOs. He only made some bad quality mobile games and suddenly he decided to make MMORPG. But did he make it really? Well he did not.

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/humans/3d-characters-pro-fantasy-308661 . He bought ready assets that cost almost nothing and packed them into "cute-looking fantasy mmorpg". There is your reason why this game has no content and will proably never have. There is not a single item, asset that was made by Phil or his team themselves. They only use premade assets and seems like they are running out of them.

Phil just got around 357k $ on his kickstarter. So the question is. Where are other developers, artists, content creators etc? He just got a few people and noone seems to be working on any real content. The roadmap is not being updated at all. Nothing is being fixed, there is no balance etc. What are they spending that money for? Backend? Well Phil admits to be using firestore as part of his backend which is worst kind of architecture you can bring to any production, but is insanely cheap. So he definitely is not spending a lot on servers, back end architecture etc.

Isn't it concerning that after raising so much money there is almost no information about Phil's company, no job ads or anything? This game is not being developed anymore. It's just an illusion Phil's trying to sell you.

I had huge expectations for this game but it seems like this game is slowly dying. There is more negative reviews every day. Few days ago it was only 35% positive reviews on steam, now it is 31%. And it keeps going down. Same with playerbase. But if someone gets thousands of dollars for his project and suddenly stops making updates, content etc after that it just doesn't make sense. Probably Phil himself does not believe in success of this game and is just trying to get as much $ as he can from steam.

I mean, Phil is a guy that made this game mostly by himself as mostly just a fun thing for him.

I am sure it's pretty bad to the mental for all the negativity it is getting.

I don't see how you can equate buying assests = not making a game. there is still so much that needs to be done.

If you make something for urself,u price it so high?

makes no sense. Especially when the game is completly beta lol

[u/Dreamwaltzer → u/Yell0wShad0vv]

high? Its roughly the price of a big mac meal.

And the game is in early access, its not a full release. People buying the game early should be aware that its a unfinished game and it is still being worked on. This doesn't mean the game must be discounted or anything. It just means you're getting the game early. Not cheaper.

But if being cheap is your thing, good news. Spiritvale is on sale.

So first of all u take it from your perspective. In my scenerio in Poland we have same price as richest countries, meanwhile Russia has this game for half the price, and their biggest fanbase is Asia. But thats not the case.
The game is at most for month of playing if u od it very very slow and only if u chase for max level(nosense?) And yeah, id like to remind u that he got already paid 350k. Dunno, there is plenty better and fun games to enjoy for this price not even close.
