"Unfortunately that's kinda true. The final game is ready, but it's in publishing-hell, some tools are being develop to create ports to consoles and... it has been in that state a couple years."
oh man, that kinda sucks. I just assumed this was the typical situation of either A.) the Dev lost focus/interest or B.) the Dev wasn't getting enough money, but the fact that it's your publisher holding things back makes it worse.
"However, if you're interested in testing the full game write me an email at gagz9k@gmail.com to see if I can sent you a release candidate of the full game."
I couldn't do that, I'd feel like I was robbing you. I will buy the game if your publisher decides to get the lead out and release it at some point. if you can pass this sentiment onto Gamuzumi (I assume that's your publisher, as that is who is listed on the Steam Store page), that would be much appreciated.
also, thanks for responding. I would've never known any of this if not for you.
