Certainly some are angry or feel misled, since the announcement was already made more than half a year ago, telling it will be finished before a release date of a certain game/s.
I can't just take the side of the developer to protect his behaviour and I guess that you have already noticed this! I'm not too happy myself with the communication or the announcements and dates he made before, this all causes problems in my opinion ...
I think that the customer deserves more accurate information/communication about the progress he is doing (I do not expect an explanation for every step he makes, but brief information/updates would be very helpful)!
Based on that everybody can make a decision if he/she wants to wait for this (for sure very good) product.
Of course the delays have a reason and most of you are able/willing to understand, that this is all related with the development of a quite complicated product.
Everybody should consider that a complete new product is been developed by
ONE single person, doing the complete hardware and software alone!
And the most important part is not having the idea to create such a product, that would be obvious since they already exist, but the claim to 'make it as perfect as possible.
And that is certainly not simple, if you dont want to give up anything or refuse to compromise!
The Japanese competitor has already developed a product, but the workmanship and the software are not optimal.
For those interested, there is a Installation of Katsukity XL-Capture Card I have done for a customer and documented
here in the forum ...
Back in the summer I received from Neal videos of how the prototypes perform, this showed the XL Capture Card already in function, but it was not yet satisfactory.
It was followed by some changes and troubleshooting and more prototypes he made up, each of these test patterns do cost $ 1,500 each time. Therefore, the evaluation/test is conducted fairly extensively and diligently!
Now the product is final - and now we need sufficient quantities to be produced at a reasonable price.
And this is also not so easy, you can have the production be finished in a very short time, so about 2-3 weeks, but then the price goes up by about $60 -$70 each!
When placing the order with normal priority, then there is no exact delivery times, there are some weeks that it takes - unfortunately!
