#PSA: You (The Community) are actually awful.

You ever wonder how the devs must feel? Seeing a whole bunch of children calling them lazy, money-hungry, and "corporate" despite them being independent developers?

Watching as the update they dumped a lot of thought, love, and care into is flamed because "nobody asked for it?"

Having their server effectively spammed due to a 2 hour delay? It probably sucks.

I wouldn't be surprised if a part of the reason Coda and Josh left the dev team is because of how awful the community is.

These people work hard, and have a team of only 11-50 employees. You guys expect more than their best constantly, with no patience, understanding, or sympathy. You want them to churn out large, perfect updates every week, and when it's not to your exact specifications, you flame the devs.

They're human, they have limits. You treat them like an old machine. They cant cater to every suggestion, every request, every need of every individual.

I think we should recognize all the work these people do for us, and appreciate it, even for just a moment.

I know there are things that Wooster Games can do to aid the development of their community, things they do that seem off, etc.
But if they did a 180, changed their marketing, changed the drip department members, incentivized the old lethal-company style extraction gameplay, their only game would die. Rapidly. We're not being realistic at all.

They love you guys. They wouldnt be doing this if they didnt. I bet seeing their community call them lazy and greedy. probably feels like a knife to the heart.

Can't we show them some love too?

I agree that sometimes people in community can give a little more respect to the devs but they are kinda greedy ngl. And also they would be doing this if they didn’t love us because they need money from the game

Without the bundles their income wouldnt be enough to keep them stable??

You have to understand, it's guaranteed. All this hate that comes in is mainly from the younger audience complaining about stuff that is either their fault, or something that isn't up to the developers to handle. With the young community, nothing is going to get better. It will always be like this, and you can't stop it from changing by typing paragraphs to them. It's helpless. The community is done for. It just can't be taught at this point.

I feel that if i put my words out, atleast someone may start seeing reason.

west barn
#

Hopefully.

#

But it won't be an absolute table-turning amount. Even if it reaches one person and changes their point of view, something may shift.

glad pumice
#

Yup
That is the plan

The game should be targeted towards older audiences (or people who can actually play on a VR headset unlike the 6 year olds you find on any public lobby).

its free game- not cheap to run

fringe creek
#

No like

#

Also i would GLADLY pay 20 bucks to play

#

might ward off the timmys too

#

Although at the time im typing this i realize yhe bundles are kinda good

#

itd be cool if we could buy bundles with like 250 RP or sum

glad pumice
#

The whole point of this thread is being realistic
making the game 20$ would KILL animal company

Appreciate the kind words. Some aspects of DIGGING were added because of the community.

I know it can be frustrating when things take a bit longer to come to the game than some would like.

But we do listen and truly value this wonderful community.

We have so much more on the horizon, and each major update heavily accounts for player wants/feedback.

Want to talk with us directly?

  • Tonight at 5pm EST we are hosting a Community Play for anyone that wants to play through the new adventure with us.
  • Linen Tiger and some devs (me included!) will be participating in a live Q&A tomorrow evening at 7pm EST.

is the digging update fantastic? yes.

does the digging update bring back the core of the game that everyone missed [adventure]? yes.

do the devs deserve credit for making updates like these? yes.

but that doesnt change the fact that the devs have often refused to listen to the community. creators like justapollo have been using clickbait and AI in their videos for ages now, and the devs, nor moderators, do anything about it. they also blatantly use mods in their videos, but what happens to them? nothing.

this is proof they check feedback forums

yeah but the entire thing sounds like pr approved slop that isnt genuine at all

#

also it didnt actually cover anything anyone said

besides the vague topic of digging

#

you cant expect me to believe the devs who say they 'listen to us' when creators like justapollo are STILL part of dd

So youre trying to tell me that because of some drip department members, the devs dont listen whatsoever

way to accuse but okay

#

i just realized i cant even send proof either because they took my image perms due to the new discord update and how i rejoined back 💔

glad pumice
#

Its like those kids spouting slurs, getting muted, nd complaining that the voice moderation sucks

keen dew
#

Finally people are saying it

The community is so toxic, on par with Gtag and vrchat I would say. “Oh well actually this update sucks because it didn’t add everything I and only I wanted!” LET THE DEVS MAKE THINGS THEY THINK WE’LL LIKE, ITS USUALLY BETTER THAN THE THINGS I SEE IN THE FEEDBACK CHANNEL 😭

hollow smelt
#

just take my word for it
first unbanned message 3/29/26 "hey guys what did i miss"
before getting banned message 10/9/25 "yeah idk but theres this weird glitch in forums where posts speaking against DD modders get closed randomly? idk im kinda confused its happened 3 times now"

One of them guessed that the digging update wasn't going to be delayed at all because there weren't any "major issues" with the update. And then the update got delayed 4 hours because they were doing "one last play test"

low shell
#

We’d get good updates if they didn’t update so often

They have a weekly update, 2 updates are usually minor with some cosmetics and items and the third one is a large update

you feed off aruments like a leech

if you dont like people arguing with you then just delete it

Not deleting it
you are all so negative
Im leaving it up no matter how much you freaks cry into the void

And they’re not adding “Glaze the devs for their poor work! To the gane

and it does make up for some

#

but there’s plenty of bugs and issues remaining

#

lovely update but the fact remains

glad pumice
#

There are still good updates

#

Updates being hit or miss is not rare with game devs

#

It's not unique to them
Plus, when they do fumble something, instead of real critisism theyre flamed by people

#

This is less "GLAZE THE DEVS" and more "Please be nice, theyre doing their best"

low shell
#

They aren’t even trying

#

And you saying they are like gods and make the best updates every week

hexed pecan
# glad pumice Yes but again

yea but it seems like to me the ppl who are doing this are kids who have very high standards or people who are already really mean and cant put it into nicer words

hexed pecan
glad pumice
#

The best way to implement gardening id say is as a plot that you plant seeds in that grow within a few minutes
You then sell your grown crop with like, a bag of ores to multiply the amount of nuts you get

#

So basically it grows while youre mining or adventuring, and when you get back, selling the crop boosts your nut yeild

#

Wouldnt make sense but it'd be functional i guess

glad pumice
#

Thus why the updates are generally more "insignifigant and bad"

#

If they had a different upload schedule, say an update each month, those updates would likely be higher quality and less buggy.

#

They're not lazy, theyre on a time crunch.

#

Another way to look at it, actually, is like this

Every week, the put a certain amount of effort into the update for that week, and another amount into the next major update

#

Some weeks the development on the major update is less, so the smaller update is higher quality.

lethal pier
#

Oh nah stop the cap

dire dagger
#

hi

glad pumice
#

Others, development on the major is higher, so the smaller update is worse

#

In short, expect a major update soon when the smaller updates are of worse quality, expect a major update later when the smaller updates are of higher quality

keen dew
#

Fish didn’t need 3 whole updates dedicated to it

glad pumice
#

Indeed

#

I agree the fishing update was.. something.

#

The whole concept of going through a scary map is cool, until you realize its just for rarer fish.

keen dew
#

Its a gimmick that didn’t need expanding on but they did anyways

glad pumice
#

The last part was um..

#

Im gonna be real it was atrocious

keen dew
#

I doubt anyone’s gonna be fishing in like a month

glad pumice
#

The digging update on the flipside, is a cool, replayable map

keen dew
#

But since digging has a boss you can replay it a bunch and see how fast you can beat it

glad pumice
#

I wish you could kill those annoying sand crawlers, though

glad pumice
#

Plus the laser gun is awesome
Animal company please make it unlockable after beating the boss so i can make a death ray and attatch it to my robot

#

I want to bake children

#

Plus, the moon map is there
Kind of out of place and annoying to get to, but at least they added moon rocks to tp there

#

Point is, the digging is fun

#

The reactor has potential and is getting reworked, so hopefully theres something in it other than just a bunch of uranium and jiggly items

keen dew
#

Reactor had so much potential

glad pumice
#

It still has potential

#

Imo

#

Maybe mining could use a rework as well
Incorporate the digging mechanic to excavate for ores

#

With the caves collapsing being a possible threat

#

I dunno

glad pumice
#

And make the fishing minigame less obnoxious and more like real fishing

I can agree that it was pretty boring but it wasn’t them being lazy, they added a whole new mechanic

low shell
#

Ok well even if it wasn’t lazy* it still sucks

vast flume
#

I expect quality, as anyone would. However, some recent updates have been unnecessary, unrequested, and, quite frankly, dumb. The map overhaul was completely avoidable by simply patching known holes, and after that we have had mostly brainrot stimulation updates. I understand that the dev team is small and likely works quite hard, but most of my and many other critiques are based in solid reason. The game is no longer a horror adventure game. It’s a hangout game with some scary side quests. Please be a little more open minded to how the community responds to updates because it usually makes it pretty clear how much they like it.

low shell
#

The devs won’t listen to this because your not glazing the game though

#

You gotta begin the sentence with something about the devs being hard working or else they don’t read it

That’s why so many people hate on it. They only add, Ive never seen them really improve since the RAM thing

They had like 5 less devs last year and they still managed to push out the mining update part 1, part 2, stash update, office teaser update, and planetarium update all back to back

#

Each update we get now is like a small update, then another small update introducing 4 item reskins, another small update with 2 new fish and a crappy fishing rod, and then a major update that most of the time isn't even that good

#

And all between these times, we get 10 new cosmetics each update

#

Compared to last year, they are greedy and money hungry.

#

Not even trying to be rude, it's just the absolute truth.
