Crowfall – And now to something completely different?
What people thought in 2016: They thought that in 2017, there would be much more news about Crowfall. They expected that alphas and betas would start slowly, and that it would really be playable.
This is what really happened in 2017: They changed the direction of the development again. The art design was reworked, game concepts were altered – thus, practically everything got delayed.
Conclusion: These crowdfunding games like Crowfall go public early to build a fan base that accompanies the game during the quiet development phase. This change of direction has likely significantly delayed the release schedule. In 2017, Crowfall did not play the role that was expected at the end of 2016. Perhaps 2018 will be the year of the MMORPG.
