Well, I still think DW4:R has great potential...and this new one also sound like it would, too. I think Indo needs to just worry about what his fans think, and not worry about his detractors...we all have them.
If you only ever listen to your critics, and never your fans...yeah, you'll go away thinking no one likes it, and that you're a failure, too...but I certainly do not think so. Hell, he's done things I never even thought were possible with RM2K...but I'd still like to see him go ahead and try and write this for the Dingoo community.
The Dingoo is a most awesome gaming device, and I'd LOVE to have this on the Dingoo.

: I would hope he does not do that!

: Unfortunately, Indo's pretty much confirmed
: on IRC that DW4:R is dead. Largely because
: many of us there have complaints about it
: (mostly the direction of the story) that he
: doesn't really want to address. It's quite
: simple, really: Either he makes a few
: changes so we'll like the game better, or he
: leaves it as it is, but accepts that it's
: not our type of game, and stops insisting
: that we like it. It's clear that he has fans
: elsewhere (like, uh, *here), and we've made
: it as clear as we can that we liked the game
: on most other fronts... So, whichever way he
: chose would've been fine with us, but he
: chose to do neither and just cancel the
: game. Sad.
:
: He constantly complains that he's "a
: failure as a writer", and "has no
: fans". Why he chooses to ignore
: everyone *here*, who *likes* the game, I
: don't know. He puts *way* too much stock
: into what I think; he seems to think I'm
: some sort of internet celebrity (I'm not;
: not even remotely), and apparently, the more
: "popular" he believes a person is,
: the more he takes their word as the gospel.
: Yet, even my attempts to get him to *not*
: can DW4:R have fallen short. Bottom line: I
: had my issues with the game, but in no way,
: shape, or form is it "irreconcilably
: bad", as he seems to have come to the
: conclusion that it is... and worse, believes
: (incorrectly) that *we* all see it the same
: way.
:
: That said, he's sorta half-working on a
: DW3-inspired RM2K game, where he's
: attempting to make the game more open, and
: less story-based... Sounds promising,
: especially with his detailed DW3-esque class
: system... yet, unfortunately, from what he's
: discussed with us on IRC, it sounds like
: it's gonna use largely the same overall
: depressing theme as DW4:R, just not directed
: at the protagonists instead. So... coming
: from someone who suffers from depression
: (and consequently doesn't like to deal with
: depressing stories), I can't say I expect to
: *love* it... Meh... But we'll see.
