We're disappointed to hear of this comment by the developer of ROAM. How To Survive has been in development for over two years, this was codenamed "Monster Island," which you can see on our website. Our director was also interviewed by Nintendo Everything a few weeks ago and talked about the history of the games development. For those interested here is the link - http://nintendoeverything.com/interview-how-to-survive-director-talks-games-lengthy-development-wii-u-version-and-more/“
You can find early videos on the internet, where you can already tell the development stage in late 2012 -http://raphaelbouchaud.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/monster-island/
We deeply regret such statements that question Eko Software’s work and feel we need to protect our honest labor to minimize the negative effects irresponsible comments are having on the game. We're pleased to hear the developer of ROAM has now retracted his comments and apologized for the mistake here - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roam/roam/posts/643148
