Thank you 10 x for this post.
It is people like this who force businesses to go elsewhere. They bend
over backwards yet people only want to shed them in a negative light
simply because OMG I didn't get my 2x health like I was supposed to and
they are legally bound.
A bit of news here. People are human. That includes people who run
businesses. Further news - how often do you actually find people that
are willing to go the extra mile these days? Hint: 0.
Maybe Justin needs to try contacting them with a bit more than 'give me
my bonuses right now or else'.
Anyway. I digress.

Justin, look. You're talking about a game 5 years in the making, also
a game that's now lost one of their primary developers. How can you
still keep this elitist, entitled mindset? Did they not release some
of the backer items in time? Yes, this is true. But will they/
Eventually. They promised to when they can. Was there ever a release
date set for those extra items? Can't say I remember for sure, but I
doubt it. That makes them not bound to a release date for them, and at
this point I don't want to hear about any of that, because, I quote:
Out of Sight Games: @alexwallis646 @robwilliams95 @mitmee_pie The
items in question are definitely well past-due. That’s actually the
thing that we’re trying to get working before releasing v1.3. 5:44:56
PM from Twitter for iPhone
See, there's your proof. Happy now?
Oh and as far as any of the items were concerned, Joseph did
officially state that if people weren't having it and didn't want to
wait around for those items, they would be happy to arrange a refund
on the respective level. So while you're at it, if you're so bent on
making sure this dev's reputation is grass just because you and
friends aren't satisfied, why don't you kindly take your frustrations
off the air and go get your refund if that's what you want, thank you.

It is people like Justin who clearly do not know the first thing about
business especially in the software development realm that are the problem.
I deal with software developers all the time and have never had a problem
except for one, who fortunately is no longer around thankfully. Justin, you
obviously do not keep up with this company, so knock off damaging their
reputation. I have become friends with the developer, and they went out of
the way to get the game working on my computer when they really did not have
to do that. They could have just given me my money back. So, your
credibility is down by quite a bit.

A whole lot of white-knighting is going on here...
A lesson on business ethics: when a company, Out of Sight Games in
this instance, takes money, they are legally bound to honor the
promises they made. There is no excuse, period, full stop. If they
were having difficulties with honoring their promises, then the onus
is on them to communicate this with their customers. Regarding the
promises made for supporting the Kickstarter for the game, they have
not done this.
Furthermore, and of greater concern, behavior like this does not bode
well for future developers. If someone has a pretty good game ready to
develop and asks for Kickstarter support, the logical inference might
be that the same behavior patterns will be repeated, i.e. promises
made, money taken, promises not kept, annoyed community, so on and so
on. This then has the potential to put off future developers from
attempting to create games because people have become mistrustful of
promises made by said developers. It's a, potentially, vicious cycle.
These are the reasons why, among others, that I refuse to cut these
guys any slack. It's not about the additional in-game items promised
as I did not need any of it to complete the game, rather the damage
behaviors such as these do to the audio game developer community as a
whole.

Yeah, with ian in the company its going to be that much harder.
And according to twitter they are still working on it in fact a version
was supposed to be out today but something broke so it isn't.
This is probably as close to mainstream as you get, I do know for a fact
mainstream companies don't always respond and they don't release updates
or news on time anyway.

AHC is one of the best games out there in my opinion, and the developer
deserves a lot of credit for making a great game.

Glad he got back to you, but so far as I am concerned, the damage is
done.

Hi list,
just thought I would send an update to say I have now heard back from
joseph about a heros call and my jaws issue, he said he didn't see my
emails as they were marked as read for some reason.
anyway he has tried to be helpful and pointed me towards an unofficial
jaws jkm file to get a heros call to work with it, in case anyone
wants to get the file themselves it can be downloaded from the a heros
call topic on the audiogames.net website post 1076, i think that post
is on page 42 its somewhere in the 40s anyway.
so he has gone out of his way to be helpful. a question though, I have
installed the unofficial jaws jkm file, and it works great, but there
is one issue where it says the name of the arrow keys each time I
press them, I assume the author of the file isn't on this list? if not
does anyone happen to know how I might be able to prevent the key
names being announced in the game when I press them?
apart from that it works great.
I just thought I would update everyone so that I don't unfairly
blacken a developer.
I did refer joseph to my topics on the list so he can see people's
comments about not receiving game items etc, though not sure if he
will read the topics.
Alex.
