As the title says: "What happened?"
I've bought Hacker Evolution: Untold a long time ago and liked it. Then I saw the Hacker Evolution: Duality anouncement and first images. While the graphics looked nice and were a major improvement over the previous game, I was skeptical about the gameplay itself. No images showed the familiar and beloved console.
So I waited for the release to get some real opinions on that, see some actual gameplay footage and it seems I was right, the main thing I liked about the previous game (all can be done in console) was gone. Then came the announcement of big updates, a fully working console, multiplayer etc and I hoped for the best.
The first part of these updates was scheduled to be in mid-September, yet I can't find any place today where this release is confirmed or listed what was part of that update (apparently the fully working console should've been in it). Steams update-list for the game is empty.
It's November. The game still costs 20 Euros (27 USD). Nothing seems to have changed at all since the release. Forum entries here and in the official forum are rare or nonexistant since September. There seems to be little to none community interaction going on.
Were there any updates as promised? Or was the game abandoned by the developer?
