Take your time IGA. Better a great late game than a bad rushed game.

Honestly, I don't think it's as bad as the article made it sound, and it might have been a mistranslation of the interview with IGA. Our community manager, Mana, explained things in the bloodstained forums shoutbox, you can see a summary in this post:

http://bloodstainedfanforums.com/thread/2377/iga-bitsummit-interview-famitsu-2017

"Right now it's 20-30% complete due to the fact mass-producing system isn't complete. Once we have those systems complete, the process afterward should come much faster " Mana further clarified by saying, "Mass producing is how all the readily available models, stats, text are implemented into the game system."

So really, it's more of a matter of "implemented" rather than "completed." The example she gave was, "Let's say we have all enemy models completed, but if we only implemented 10% of it, that would really mean only 10% is actually complete inside the game." So I think it's fair to assume they have most of the assets, models, etc. are complete, they just haven't added them into the framework of the game yet, and that should be an easier task than building all those models out of scratch in the first place! So yeah, while IGA's correct in saying that they need to pick up the pace, I don't think they're really as far behind as the article is implying

This is good to hear, and sort of what I expected. Though again, I'd rather it take all the time it needs, and it seems like the fan base is in something of an agreement on this. So long as this doesn't become Duke Nukem Forever where they were constantly holding it back to take advantage of new technology (and that certainly doesn't seem to be the case), I think most people are fine with waiting. Don't rush 2018 if it seems like it'll suffer as a result.

So Duke Nuk'em Forever wasn't just a clever name

No it was not, and that joke was funnier when we actually thought the game was never going to release.

Pretty well documented that it wasn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Duke_Nukem_Forever

Hope all goes well for them...

[Gunlord]

I certainly hope so too XD

[Lumi Kløvstad]

Honestly, I'd be completely willing to give them until 2019 if it meant a flawless product. For a labor of love such as this, getting it right is more important than anything else.

Abso-fu@#ing-lutely 

[Rugal]

My only concern with this game is if IGA starts listening to retarded/deluded fans, or he starts catering to SJWs.

[The Puritan]

God I hope not. We don't need another Tracer's Butt.

Or Dominique's Boobs in this case.

I doubt it, remember that they went ahead and enhanced Miriam's bust.

I personally don't mind that they did that. Having Miriam's bust enlarge a bit helps balance the wide hips she's got. Before it looked a little off-balance. Granted, the other way they could have done it was to broaden her shoulders a bit too.
