What? You just quoted a bunch of people and bailed, adding nothing to the conversation or debate.
Thats drive by shit posting at its very definition
Did they gave a reason? A valid one I mean? It just seems they barely actually read the op and immediately tried to make nothing more than "hurr durr early access" posts.Those guys at least gave a reason why they dislike the early access model. You just insulted them. 1a drive-by shitpost at work.
No, drive by shit posting is entering a thread without reading or researching anything just to say "hurr durr this is why early access is bad".

Is there a link saying only one person is working on this because I can't find it anywhere but from a poster in this thread?
Ive been working on this game as a prototype for a while now and thought it was time to show something, to see what people think of the idea and if anyone would actually want to play it
Ah yes, the same old pattern.
- Kickstarter / Early Access game has trouble or controversy.
- Enter drive by trolls who want to blame the entire system for the actions of a single dev. Which, in this case, isn't even doing anything "wrong."
- Completely ignore any success stories in the process.
Why is it idiotic when it is proven as been valid? If your unfinished game makes a lot of money lot of devs don't finish the game. How many unfinished games that sold a lot have reached 100% completion? Just a tiny few right?
Money makes the world go round.
Yo! I'm Adam (yeah, the one that "cancelled Rust")
There's already a bunch of websites covering this and everyone's angry responses at the moment, but I'm a regular Gaf reader and so I can't ignore this one
I've never worked on Rust and never will. I was hired (before Rust was even released on Steam), like other people here, to work on whatever I wanted to work on and that's what I've been doing. I've already started and scrapped a bunch of games before sticking with this one.
The Rust team has only ever grown, not lost members.
I just wanna make my game
That seems like its involves more than just him unless he is both an artist and dev. It seems more like he is the lead dev but is getting help from others in the studio.

Well, why don't you ask him?
Good idea.
Hey Adam are you working on this alone or are you getting some help from other Facepunch employees?
I also secretly kind of hope someone like Facepunch completely abandons an unfinished game just to show how poisonous this early-access trend is. I know it's mean, but I feel it's also inevitable. I'm off to sing my Disney villain musical number now.
My own, 99% of the time.
The few pieces of concept art you've seen weren't done by me (I can't draw for shit) but the concept team a while back.
I'm surrounded by people working on Rust, don't worry
Oh I don't care your game looks much better to me then Rust. I just figured you probably didn't do everything by yourself. Any time frame on release so far? Look like you have alot of the basic features done.
coming to the front page of steam near you....
from the maker of gary's mod! RIFTLIGHT EARLY ACCESS $19.99! BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY! TOP SELLER!
(btw this is early access so disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer)
BUY NOW! (btw early access) SPOTLIGHT FEATURE AGHHH
do you guys think this new early access game is being announced as a result of rust early access falling off the front page of steam?
are they really going to be a company that specializes in releasing full price early alpha prototypes into retail outlets even while their coffers are stuffed with millions of dollars?
whether this next game comes out as early access or not is going to really define this company's reputation.
this new early access game
Where?
Definitely have to side with the dev on this one. Two different games at two different points in development helps to maximize efficiency from what I understand. There's really no shame in going two at once at all.

As long as the Rust workforce isn't noticeably diminished they can work on however many projects they want.
again, maybe I'm a huge cynic, but it seems to me that they frontloaded all their profits from rust before it was actually developed, they've milked it already, so it's time to shift to the next thing because Rust has fallen off the frontpage of Steam. This is a business, and they've figured out a way to make quick money (early access). I think this is where this is headed.
Don't see the issue here. I'd bet most developers have one or more prototypes around. And many developers multitask.
Maybe the Rust dev should have kept quiet about this for awhile longer, though.
I love that this "cynical" theory involves nuking the goodwill of one of the most popular games on Steam and pinning their money scamming hopes on....a side scrolling space shooter. That's not exactly a genre known for breaking wallets. That does not sound like a very good plan at all.
There's a line between being a cynic and just being daft. At least have your theories make a lick of sense.

I would be surprised if it doesn't come out as early access. I think the rewards of fat cash for little work outweighs the negatives of a few wiseguys like me calling them out on it.
If I'm wrong, I'll apologize. But I don't think I'm wrong.
Spoken like someone who has never worked on any game.
The state Rust was in when it first went on early access is something that looked like a couple weekends worth of work. It was the most bare bones unity prototype I've ever seen put into a retail space.

The best thing about stating that I'm right until proven wrong is that, usually, so much time passes between the two points that everyone forgets about it.
So an early access game was in the early stages of being made? You don't say...
