CardLife - Abandoned

[@subjectiveexperiences1072]

This is such a shame. The game looks really cool, and it's sad to see such an amazing concept wasted.

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

Agreed!

[@CaptainPhantom93]

I bought Cardlife before it was even on Steam, and thought it was really really cool. It obviously has a very unique style which I loved. Its really sad that its not getting any more love like it deserves

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Jan 21 2021: "Today we wanted to announce that sadly, we will be retiring Gamecraft" "sadly the sales of the game have been extremely low. We had hoped that during Early Access the sales would have been able to sustain the development to 1.0, But Gamecraft does not seem to have struck a chord with the Steam audience." Oh also, back to CardLife... Folks that bought the founders pack are still findin they cant redeem it on steam 9,9 The CardLife community has been putting out mod patches that get updated to address the various bugs that the game has. Which just shows how much there is a community here who wud love to see this game developed...

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

Hey thanks for sharing that! I just searched for Gamecraft on Steam and its not even visible. I take this as a win for us or anyone interested early access and Cardlife. Its good to see them admit some defeat on the project, and then pull it. Perhaps they can return to developing Cardlife and give it the attention it deserves. But will that be enough?

[@SylviaRustyFae]

@@earlyaccesscontrol5966 I fully agree that this was indeed a win for us, but i somehow doubt that Freejam are gonna come back to CardLife no matter the push from fans. Their latest project/scam/racket is called Techblox

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

@@SylviaRustyFae Damn, they have another project on the go? Sheesh poor people who keep backing these developers. I'm gonna check Techblox out.

[@Alex-jm7lm]

That game looks super cool and unique. Its unfortunate that they abandoned it!

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

It definitely is, but alas another developer that seems to not give two shits about a community :(

[@Valleystick]

@@earlyaccesscontrol5966 Aye it was such an opportunity

[@drakosgata9333]

@@earlyaccesscontrol5966 Honestly, If I could get my hands on the code, I would reboot it! Updates, new content, mods, getting rid of bugs, ect.

[@wildlyagressivedeckchairs]

2 years later and they still havnt done anything with this game its so sad to see 😢

[@gamenrage5998]

We need a bold list of all these developers to black list them for awareness of this type of mistreatment!

[@buggy7451]

very unfortunate! i really wanted to play it. With voxel type games like Teardown being released lately it's the perfect time to start development back into Cardlife or atleast sell the I.P to a company that will develope such an awesome concept.

[@bjordan2451]

Official servers just updated. What does it mean? I'm reinstalling to check it out.

[@dr_derpp1387]

Is there any new information on this. This is a game I've wanted since I first saw videos 3 years ago but now I'm hearing it's been abandoned.

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

Hey bud, no information. The devs started a new project and abandoned that as well. They are currently working on another game called Techblox. :( not cool

[@dr_derpp1387]

@@earlyaccesscontrol5966 thats so stupid. They have so much love for this game and ignore it

[@itsdakota6442]

I was wondering what happened this game looked sick

[@Dunga]

This is one of those things, like CubeWorld(?) , that I think is a really interesting concept, one I would love to take over as one of my first games to make, as I think that original aesthetic would work really well in a sort of survival/(MMO)RPG kind of game that I am trying to make. Games like these show a good amount of potential, I could think of some systems that would spice things up so well, imagine a rock-paper-scissors kind of system where you need to have different gear to progress through resource gathering. Anyways, this turned into a rambling comment... I just remembered this game and find it such a shame that it got abandoned. Looked for the devs on steam, their gamecraft idea I can't find and apparantly they made robocraft which was a fun thing a few years ago.

[@cybeastmaster7865]

hey thanks for the video, been a while and now that I see it on sale in steam I'ma check it out. btw I see all your thumbnails are without lets say without a logo of each game you post here. Try putting that there so it's more eye friendly to click on it. anyways great new/content review man keep up

[@angelo.strand]

Your videos are awesome man

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

Thank you 😄

[@Iguana5k]

Isnt that illegal? I mean it says "in development" but they dont develop it anymore. So thats kinda false advertisement.

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

Yeah it should be. But sadly people can say anything when it comes to this thing since there are no real standards. :( All we can do it try to stop them from making any more money on there abandoned games.

[@jamgooandyou]

It wont have added content to it, having it in early access means potential buyers understand its not a completed game so its their choice to buy it....f the community was so amazing the game would have had enough support for the developers to put in time n effort, gamers have become so greedy, self righteous, and have ruined gaming. This guy sounds salty that he purchased a early access game got hours upon hours of content playing n the devs decided not to finish, add more to it n hes annoyed.

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

@@jamgooandyou Hey! Thanks for the comment. Well from my perspective a gamer that purchases an early access game that gets abandoned has a pretty concrete reason to be salty especially if there is no good reason for the abandonment. If a developer promises features or updates in early access and players buy the game because of this - and then the developer just quits working on the game well then that is a bit of 'false advertising'. Sure its buyer beware to an extent, but then this is also fraudulent to an extent. No one is greedy or self righteous for wanting what they paid for. The bottom line in every video is SAYING NOTHING TO YOUR COMMUNITY = BAD!

[@viking8781]

That sucks. I never heard of this game before today and it looked great for me and my daughter . being able to draw shapes of what youre crafting is next level

[@AWBO.]

Well that’s sad...

[@gamenrage5998]

I was wondering if you know do they hide their name and change it how are we to follow this type of bad company so not to buy their games. I hope you read my post and at least respond to my site on these very subjects. Interested in your thoughts, good or bad.

[@HunterRsa]

Hi are you going to keep plying the game and giveig us tips how to play?

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

Hey there Jacques! I'd love to play it more but sadly unless the developer acknowledges the community and the status of Cardlife officially, I won't promote it in any way. 😞

[@gamenrage5998]

We need some type of movement to fix this issue and how dishonest these developer are today!

[@sturgoncomp07]

Good content, keep it up

[@Slavicplayer251]

hey maybe check out the chemist

[@gamenrage5998]

Me and my son got this game way back off the main site and was thinking about getting it on steam do to it would be easier to play due to we had forgotten the site we got it on, thank by the way for the name we may just go to the main site, do too steam again not treating customers fair who own it not on their site so we have to go to the main site.

[@korydavis5538]

I have a love hate relationship for this game

[@Illogical.]

I sense toxicity.

[@earlyaccesscontrol5966]

I guess so....I mean the community has a right to a certain amount toxicity if their game they paid for has been abandoned🤷‍♂️

[@edwardthecar2300]

i got robocraft it was acctually good i also got cardlife it was'nt

[@DirtyStinkinMuskrat]

I bought this about a month ago with no knowledge they bailed on development, severely disappointed. Can't say i'll trust any title released by freejam in the future. Also the game runs horribly and I'm miles above the minimum requirements. Great video man, wish i wouldve seen this before buying lol

[@nickschaefer9320]

I appreciate the review on a niche game but I disagree on some things. The game is "finished" in that it's on 1.0, yes the developers promised/implied features that haven't been added but the game does have alot of potential to compete with dare I say Minecraft, and even at full price of 20$ I felt I got my entertainments worth out of it. The developers put time into making it and learning things to use in the future, and need to make up for the lost time. Now if the other game they made however ends up being a clone somehow with just a different name I will concede to your review entirely.

[@nickschaefer9320]

Also, the community in the game is super friendly and supportive. :-) (I hope I didn't jinx it by saying that in a public post)
