Hey guys, I'm a modeler for Survivor Zero and I wanted to just rant a little bit about my opinion on PR. I don't talk for the entire team, but I understand where you guys are coming from and I want to put you all at ease as best I can.

I can't stress enough how motivated we all are to seeing this to the finish, despite a few of you assuming we'll give up easily or just disappear. Personally I've seen both sides of it; I've gone from being a huge fan of the game, to actually having the privilege to work on it. Working with these guys has only reinforced my beliefs that they will deliver something spine-meltingly awesome. We don't get paid for this, we're all spending money out of our own pockets, and spending countless hours developing this thing. I personally have worked more-or-less full time trying to make the explorable world of Survivor Zero as good as I can, and all the other members are twice as passionate as I am about what we're doing.

So, I understand where you're coming from when you make a thread asking "is this dead?" but its upsetting to see people ignoring our efforts in PR and just assuming we've stopped development because of a simple and unavoidable hiccup (the website going down). We have a facebook page now, and it is updated weekly at the very minimum. We also post weekly over on the Screenshot Saturday thread in /r/gamedev (you can check out our latest screenshots here, and each post has a link to the previous one at the end of it), but I understand that not a lot of you fans will be seeing that stuff, so I want to ask you guys for suggestions on what we could be doing that'll put an end to these silly threads being created. My biggest quip with threads like that is that they turn off other fans and make some of you actually believe that we've halted production when that is absolutely not the case, and never will be!

I get it, you want more updates! More interaction! But where? It seems like facebook isn't reaching enough of you. I'd like to be posting the weekly screenshots of work-in-progress models and things of that nature, but I have to know it'd be well-received and somewhere you can all see it. I don't want it to be another, seemingly wasted, effort in PR.

So, help us improve the community! What would you like to see, and where? Screenshots? Blogs from the developers?

Thanks for your support, just trust that we will deliver the best experience we can. In many ways the team has exceeded expectations I had as a fan, but we hold back a lot because we want it to be polished so we have something finished to show off. I really hope you guys empathise with our decisions and choices thus far, but maybe its time to change our tune. What do you think?
