Where are the developers for Room 25!?!?!?!?

[hondjuh]

The game has so many bugs in it that are not being addressed. The game has been in beta for so long now. Where are the developers and why is there no news update or any information given about the game anymore. It's like the game has been abandoned....

Well that's not impossible, please recall the dev are volunteers so maybe they don't have any time left now to continue working on it.

Feels bad when other game from the same developer are being worked on and Room 25 is left to rot.....

How do you know other games are being worked on ? These are all already released, so probably no more work to do on these.

They all seem to be abandoned. The most recent bug fix of these games from developer was like 2 months ago.
And there are plenty of bugs and inconveniences yet.

Indeed, they could all use some polish (especially The Crew). Mistergos has updated some reports on Trekking the World though, so there is some sign of activity. Hopefully he will have more time soon.

I see joezg has also fixed some bugs for Trekking the World, so that's nice. Thanks!

That is my point. These were (almost) all released while Room 25 stayed stuck in BETA. The beginning of the development of some of these games didn't even start until after room 25 was in beta..... so they got released and room 25 got left behind

Sorry, i'm not seeing a point here.

You've implied a problem, that Room 25 hasn't been finished and released to your satisfaction, but neglect to either offer a solution or ask for anything to be done and without that combined with the way you've phrased this you're just having an entitled whinge.

The game is in a playable state, I've done so repeatedly and my group enjoyed it, the developer could add the entire catalogue of BGG to this site before finishing this and it still wouldn't be a problem.

But you are entitled to think it's a problem, present this better.

Acknowledge as others have said here that the developer is a volunteer, thank them for the work they've done so far and offer some constructive critique along with that perhaps ASK them if they plan to continue work on this or if they no longer wish to continue.

If you get no answer and there's no work then you've got room to claim this is abandoned.

Once the community decides it is abandoned, so what? what exactly are you proposing be done about it?

Are you a developer asking to take over? should it be taken down perhaps? should it be progressed to completed instead, or a call put out for others to pick it up?

I think you missed the post that was made on the 19th of November saying that they stopped development of the game and are currently looking for new developers.
