Maybe I should make a Kickstarter and scam $23,000 from people I don't know. Seems like a good way to make money.
Creator Sieg on May 8
it's no surprise it's taking so long, "Will be spending another full day on it this week though." he says that as if it's a lot of time, and well considering he most definitely ran out of money ages ago, he must not have actually planned out how long this would take. at this point even if he gives us another alpha, that's 8 months between them! and we aren't even in beta, so by the time this game is DONE (if ever) i wonder who will be president?
Creator Tyler Duncan on May 6
Well everyone, we got scammed. no game, no updates. well, there are supposed talk of updates, but nothing to show of gameplay. i no longer care about this game, i just want this guy to never be allowed to screw over people again.
Creator Limey on April 19
Annnnd... nothing.
Creator MauserPT7 on January 31
You guys do realise they didn't give up on the project they just moved discussion to the forum.

What a joke of a project.
Creator Sieg on December 28
i have lost all faith in this project, another kickstarter i donated 100$ to raised 50k and that will only last them 5 months. so i don't know how this 20k could possibly last him almost 2 years...
Creator adveres on December 12
Any updates?
Creator Sieg on November 28
also while that link is pretty. there is no way i can think of that what he promised us could possible jump to that.
Creator Sieg on November 28
@wurzelmann do you mean funded?
Creator Wurzelmann on November 15, 2012
I founded Uberdark hoping for something like this:

The project definitely deserves more attention!
Creator Mike Fischthal on September 20, 2012
If he used the money for his new house we should all be allowed to stay there.
Creator Sieg on September 16, 2012
my tiff is that it's been a year since we funded this... so hes probably spent most, if not all, of the 22k
Creator Seaaretea on September 16, 2012
look in the comments section of the last update and you'll notice a few days ago he commented- "There's a new version a'coming... Distant terrain rendering is much improved, and the whole thing runs faster now. Rag doll stuff too... There's still some more piddling to do -- but gonna try to get it out by either the 17th or 24th."
Creator Mike Fischthal on September 15, 2012
Yeah, I don't mind the loss of $10. It's just that I feel betrayed. We supported this complete stranger in following through on something he was passionate about and then he just turned his back. Send a thank you card... an email.... a doodle... whatever.
Creator Michael Lawson on September 14, 2012
Hey, at least I'm only out $10, feel bad for the $100 and $500 people.
Creator Mike Fischthal on September 7, 2012
Looks like he used our money for this new house
Creator Dan Butler on September 7, 2012
According to some admins on the forums Aaron started working on the game again a week or so ago. So cross your fingers because there should be an update pretty soon if so.
Creator fergus lees on August 29, 2012
Don't worry guys we will get our update... in valve time
Creator Kris on August 25, 2012
What's going on here? Have you given up?
Creator Limey on August 22, 2012
So... you've given up and just taken our money?
Creator Akumaka on August 6, 2012
So how are things going here? I haven't heard anything in quite a while!
Creator MauserPT7 on June 7, 2012
No to mention this game

Creator tom williams on June 7, 2012
one thing to think about, is this is not the only game of its kind, in fact minecraft is making massive leaps and bounds in their capabilities as well. As much as we all respect the take your time thing, we need to remember a big perk to LoU is its hitting the early stages of a game of this style. so patients being a virtue aside, good luck with the progress I cant wait.
Creator FlamingAvocado on May 25, 2012
yea I think its about time for a new update.
Creator Seaaretea on May 17, 2012
i feel as if it's time for 0.43. other than that lords of uberdark is awesome! keep up the awesomeness
Creator j00_Mama's_Facial on April 29, 2012
uberdark-alpha-42.zip/uberdark-alpha-42/uberdark.exe is infected with Win32.LocalInfect.2.
Most likely a false positive, but you still might want to check that out.
Creator Tony Buttafuoco on April 26, 2012
I'm actually quite glad to get less updates, seems like there are too many. Once a month is plenty.
Creator FlamingAvocado on April 9, 2012
i view the myself in lords of uberdark as the last earth bender within an empty world trying to bring back civilization.
Creator fergus lees on March 25, 2012
wow that was fast :D
Creator Evan Northrup on March 25, 2012
does crafting work? I feel like I cant get anything in the inventory to work. I looked for a post about it, but I could be over looking something.
Creator Rhynri on March 24, 2012
I love the progress, Aaron. Some people might not realize what an insane thing you are doing with Uberdark, but I do! Keep up the excellent progress. The game is leaps and bounds better every time I play.
Creator fergus lees on March 18, 2012
updates looking cool thanks aaron
Creator Seaaretea on March 13, 2012
guys he did put up a video on his youtube channel like half a month ago, he just didn't put it as a kickstarter update.
Creator MauserPT7 on March 13, 2012
Oh come on. I have played many other games where the developer NEVER talks to his community unless there is something to report.
Dead Frontier being a prime example of this. Neil Yates hasn't told us anything to do with development since December last year at least. Every few weeks he might add a 'X' Holiday special item but no info on what else he has done.
Aaron seems no different to Neil on this matter but I have equal respect and faith in both of them.
Creator j00_Mama's_Facial on March 13, 2012
You're right. I am sorry. It's only been 42 days without any word from Aaron. I'm sure he is just working so hard that he can't spare 10 seconds to say, "Hey, everything is going fine. I hope to have the next update out soon". I'm glad you have blind faith in Aaron and LoU's future. Hopefully it's well-founded.
Creator Thomas McNeill on March 12, 2012
You really are a credit to the community >_<
Creator j00_Mama's_Facial on March 12, 2012
Everyone, Aaron quit developing the game. It's done. Go home.
Creator fergus lees on March 5, 2012
yeah i think its about time he posts another blog ;)
Creator FlamingAvocado on March 3, 2012
when's the next update coming out?
Creator fergus lees on February 25, 2012
my line didnt work
Creator Realtylersmith on January 30, 2012
Monday update still a go?
Creator fergus lees on January 22, 2012
^ now lets make a line of people saying the same
Creator fergus lees on January 22, 2012
I am a proud backer
Creator Steviedoors on January 9, 2012
Would just like to commend Aaron for making such great progress through the game's development, especially under so much pressure to deliver, The expectations for this game are high and your advancement towards fulfilling these expectations has been swifter than I imagined. Well done, you're doing a great job. Keep the updates coming and make me a proud backer :)
Creator Tanner Olason on January 9, 2012
After seeing some of the comments, I would like some of you to consider the following.
If you know what Minecraft is, you probably know Notch.
Notch is a transparent guy. He posts everything he is doing on Twitter.
He gets loads of grief all around for the time he is on vacation.
It's probably in Aaron's better interests to not share every bit of headway as soon as its done, as he will get less grief if say he did a load one week and took a load off another.
Also, I got my shirt a few days ago. It's very cool!
Keep up the good work!
Creator j00_Mama's_Facial on December 26, 2011
I figured you would love my name. Anything to do with getting a facial is bound to excite you. All my works of art (or comments, as you may say) are copyrighted so if you print it without my permission you are violating the law, you criminal scum.
Creator Sean Duffy on December 26, 2011
First thing, I love your name, how much hate can you have for yourself if you feel the need to put an inappropriate name for your online activities?
Also, I like it here, I think I'll continue to post comments now and again, thanks for your feedback though, I'm going to print it off and frame it.
Creator fergus lees on December 24, 2011
now your happy XD
Creator Evan Northrup on December 22, 2011
Woohoo! got my shirt today!
