Honestly, the “update” was supposed to come back in December. I havent played this game since then waiting for the “update” but in reality this update isnt coming is it. The Devs got all lazy and decided to make another game instead of building upon and fixing the one they already have. IS it honestly that difficult to nerf like 3 monsters? I dont think so. Back in December it was the “OH but apple is closed over the holidays” bull and now it is almost April… I am 99% sure that the devs have gave up on this game and are working on the new game 100%. There will be no addition to the story, no nerf, no updates, no fix at this rate. What kind of game updates once a year? With it being so popular, you would think that things would speed along but nope… Its all a ploy to get all the current HI players to buy the new game once it comes out. The problem is that this new game is probably going to suffer the same fate as this one. Once it gets popular and the devs get all your money, they kick it to the curb and move on to the next game. Au revoir Hunter Island, it was a pleasure while it was still fun…  ---

My argument is worthless? You’ve posted in half the sub-forums complaining about an update about the update that you didn’t even read, because you keep quoting January, when the update about the update was posted in February. If you took as much time as you spent trolling the forums and actually read what the devs said, then maybe you wouldn’t be so upset and _supposedly_ rage quitting the game. But instead you simply reply with no argument or basis other than something that happened months ago, possibly before they even knew they were going to have to switch coding engines. You try to do all of that with a 4-person team, of which all also have personal lives and families. Even with a standard 40-hour work week, the fact they’ve been able to accomplish all of that in 4 months is astonishing, especially because they were also in the hiring process of new team members AS WELL AS DEVELOPING TWO NEW GAMES. By the way, I have superior GIF/meme prowess, so don’t even. ![sassy-gif.gif](http://www.aux.tv/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/sassy-gif.gif) ---

The guy is upset and has all the right to tell how he feels. All I see is less and less people playing and just because of a simple fix that could be implemented months ago. You guys can try and defend all you want, but until a proper answer is given, people will keep posting, complaining and questioning. As a customer you should be advised that you are buying a buggy app who won’t be fixed in less than 6 months. ---

Why not selling the franchise to a company who is willing to keep the game alive and really work on it? Such a pity to see a game with a huge potential going to waste. ---

Actually, I do. And to prove that you’re incapable of anything but sheer ignorance, let me spell it out for you. In FEBRUARY, they announced that they are migrating to a new coding engine. This isn’t, as I’ve stated before, a game that requires little to no coding like Flappy Bird. This is thousands upon thousands of lines of code and I’d love to see you even get that accomplished in a month. For all the complaining you do, you’re sure trying to make it sound like **you think you can do a better job?** Go ahead. Be my guest and try it. > Another factor taking up our time is that we are simultaneously moving our engine from Cocos2d to Unity. This involves rewriting nearly 50% of our code, but this will allow us to develop more complex games in a shorter timeframe. We can also transfer future games to other platforms, which is a huge plus for us and fans who don’t have iOS devices. As I already stated, Ryan said that they are in the final stages of testing the bug fix/pvp issue update. > [@Hunter Island Fix and New Game](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/hunter-island-fix-and-new-game/1991/228): > > There wont be wild release of monster in the update.

We have another update planned after that too, which is actually mostly done as well  😉 On top of this, they have personal lives to take care of as well as weekly events, that also take up time. As I also already stated, they have been in the hiring process for two new members, so again, that also takes up time. > [@Information regarding the Game/ discussion](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/information-regarding-the-game-discussion/2232/2): > > We were (until very recently) a 4 man team, so making a new game, moving to a new engine, preparing an update, and running events has been really keeping us busy.

Meanwhile, I’m usually on chat when the mission goes out so if you want to chat with me you are welcome to find me there!  Ryan also answered the question as to why a quick fix wasn’t submitted, so anyone complaining about them not answering it has no backing there. > [@I love this game, but.](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/i-love-this-game-but/2366/15): > > \> Ryan, can we have an explanation on what happened please?

We should have just done a quick update to fix the easy stuff, and then work on the stuff that proved to be a lot of work. Its just that… the stuff that proved to be a lot of work we didnt think would take so long! Also, its generally a good idea to keep the number of updates low, because for each update we have to test the heck out of the game, maybe 2,3 weeks at least. We test that much because if an update somehow kills the app, we are in trouble. We are still like #2 RPG, so we cant screw up! Thats why we wanted to do everything with one update, but in hindsight it was a terrible decision to be honest  ☹ No, they’re not abandoning the update. > [@This game has died out](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/this-game-has-died-out/1715/165): > > We are not abandoning the update!

We just have half our team working on the new game, and half on missions and updates on Hunter island.  The other thing is that HI has an ending. There wasn’t ever an intention of adding more story to it. So yes, while people may hope and plead for more, unfortunately no, it’s not going to happen. That’s where the ‘sequel’ comes in. As stated somewhere above, Ryan said that you can migrate some arks over, too. > [@Hunter Island Fix and New Game](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/hunter-island-fix-and-new-game/1991/160): > > Monster rancher is a monster training sim where you can put your monsters through different training to train diffferent stats.  > > We are combining that aspect with monster capturing and evolving elements (as in pokemon). I think HunterEdik is right, Hunter Island, because there is an “ending” a lot of people just quit there. I think we address that issue in the next game though. The biggest problem with people who troll like you, ‘The Assassin,’ is that all you do is complain. You offer nothing as constructive feedback. You said you quit back in December until the update, then why are you trolling the forums if it hasn’t come yet, hmm? That’s seemingly hypocritical. By the way, yes, I do read. Maybe you’ll actually read this post. ---

Assassin did you read [this](http://www.hunterislandforum.com/index.php/topic/2235-hunter-island-fix-and-new-game/) at all, or did you just jump on making this post assuming there was no word on the update?  The devs have been working on the update but there have been some set backs and reworks that need to be done, every game ever made has these. However everyone here needs to take a chill pill and not go at each other’s throats or spam gif pictures. ---

I have one more thing to say. I heard that admin had a baby a few weeks ago. If you all think this update for a game that I think is amazing as it is, is more important then a living human being then u are crazy. You could atleast be supportive instead of negative. If I owed money to someone I’d take longer on purpose if they were a jerk, I would be faster if they were nicer. ---

I need to applaud you two for resorting to gifs. Throughout the entire thing I wasn’t sure if I should grin or scowl. Congratulations. On the other hand, I apologize you feel that way, Assassin. No one is keeping you here, so good bye. I’m just saddened that many people are leaving because of the same reason, and yes, I understand why. But that doesn’t mean I agree. People seem to think that Hunter Island is all about PvP and online missions. Did they forget about PvE? Some games cost even more than a mere 0.99 cents and they don’t have multiplayer at all.  I’m a PvE-only person and I can honestly, confidently say that Hunter Island is well worth 0.99 cents. The art, story, and gameplay are all fun, and I really had a pleasant experience in completing the story. The update will come, and if it doesn’t, then you can quote me on this and tell me how wrong I was. But the update will come, and even if it doesn’t, though it will, Hunter Island is worth my money and I’m sure it’s worth yours too. People saying they paid for Hunter Island for a buggy app make me very disappointed. Hunter Island has never, ever failed me. It never crashes, and I have seen and experienced ZERO bugs as I completed PvE. PvP, yes, it’s buggy. But PvP is not what Hunter Island is. PvE is just as important as PvP. So don’t complain about the entire app being buggy if you’re not even going to take into consideration the solo play aspect of this game, which, by the way, is one of the very few games I played that is close to being flawless… or _is_ flawless. Otherwise, thanks for playing Hunter Island, and thanks for being apart of our community as long as you did. Good luck, and I hope you find a game you like better. 🙂 ---

Ok this got quite out of control. But i will point out back in december there was a post stating they had completed the update but they submitted it to late to apple and they were closed over the xmas holidays. Now that is a fact! Yes it is a ling time to wait as they took it back and done all this. Im so impatient its unreal. But just forget about it and dont let it bug you. Thats what i have done.

That could have been an unofficial post that someone assumed was true. If you could quote an actual developer saying that, do so. And as for taking it back, if it was true, then of course they would to add on to it for a bigger update. If Apple was closed the quick fix wouldn’t have been a quick fix anyway. ---

This is a team of 5 Devs and testing everything out takes time. They had to nearly rewrite the whole game codes they had around feb for the update because an issue came up and that takes time to do.  Don’t want to stick around then fine go ahead and quit or come back every month and check up on it.
