First image didn't age well, and i am not even suprised (read second slide)

This is a continued consequence of our 'share early, share often' philosophy. When I said these things, that was the hope at the time. But it was never put in our scheduling. No actual dev time was put towards it. We want to share thoughts we have with you folks that we're potentially excited about, and we do that super early, while things are still in an ideation stage. It's admittedly pretty frustrating to be continuously called a liar for doing that!

But, I know y'all are equally frustrated to feel like when you see something from a dev, you see it as not just conversation, but as a promise. And that leads to feeling let down. I will try to be more careful in the future about how early I talk about things I'm excited to potentially do. The only thing that ever existed for the current idea of the bow is a one page design draft I did back when I made this original post. And then this cool gif that a concept artist through together because he thought the idea sounded neat.

When we say it's never actually been scheduled, I mean that there has never been time put in any of our scheduling tools over the last two years to bow. I think to some extent, we tell ourselves that if we tell our community about it, it'll make it easier for us to commit to it, but of course that's not the reality of development.

Again, my apologies for making you feel mislead and lied to. That was never my intention, but I totally get how it happened. I appreciate you calling me out and keeping me honest on these things.

Both 'I'm roughly planning to do this after awakening' and 'we never scheduled it' can be true.
