Looks like the developer just bought a bunch of premade assets and lumped them all together without much care. Asset flips are so common now it's crazy.
I bought it, I'm glad to support indie devs. Any time I dev gets so much unneeded hate, I know there competitors are out to get them so I'm glad to spend the money to help.
From what I've seen, its pretty fun. Definitely early access, but I played star citizen which was an empty barebones game and this game has a ton more content than star citizen does even though SC has ton more development time. And star citizen was a ton more expensive than this game, which is hilarious. I can't have much else to compare with though, but the video is a bunch of lies. I can enter buildings, drive taxis and all that it shows on the feature page.
Maybe he downloaded an old version? Something wrong with his PC? a competitor? Dunno. Works fine for me. The only thing I've had issues with is a memory leak that causes the game to crash at exactly 30 minute play time unless I reload my save which then gives me another 30 min (don't even need to restart the game)
It's not going to be anything, it is a asset flip ripoff money grab. I always wondered who those folks are that buy these things, then come back to the steam forums and complain 3 years later about how the developer went silent and or vanished, now I know.
You're not supporting an Indie dev, you're supporting a scammer and encouraging future scams by not being able to tell the difference between a legit indie dev and a scammer.

It's your right and you should do what makes you happy regardless but some things aren't subjective when it comes to quality. Yikes.
