GGPL Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Good point, just thought that Pimps do much more than what was in the video. Much , much more. what im joking about is how lazy devs are. *when you hire more people just to work even slower* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rassilon Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Yeah, totally lazy... Thanks for the support Dont get pulled down by one fella. Here are lots of Players that are appriciating you, your Colleagues and are happily awaiting A17 and its Preview Bits. I always look forward to see another explanation of Progress from you, Faatal or Mr. Mole and the vast mayority here feels the same i guess, even if they stay quiet.

Tin Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Yeah, totally lazy... Thanks for the support You all just keep doing what you need to do! Every build has brought more in content, design and underneath improvements that most have no clue about. Excited to see what A17 brings us.

Mikee Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Good point, just thought that Pimps do much more than what was in the video. Much , much more. hard to swallow pills are coming: 1 year has passed... the new content what we can see NOW is: jeep, bike , quests , weapon mods , poi's , dungeons. the rest: new textures / reworking the existing systems again... that "much much more" work seems they are just repairing/redoing/retexturing what they have already done. i believe its a lot of work to do. but you know, we can check the steam sales, we know they have money to speed up the process. but now its seems they are vegetating. thats why these mean comments are here.... and thats why we call you a blind fanboi, who will be happy with anything, becouse you dont have any expectation towards to the devs. why? becouse the modders will do the rest in xml right? good... good... btw i realy like the game, and checking the forum updates regulary, im hyped. but.... takes sooo long. member when we was joking about the 2020 final release? it was a joke... it not that funny now.

Menace312 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 What's wrong with taking your time anyhow? That's usually when great results are created... I'll bet that the most impatient 7d2d gamers, are also the ones that complain first, if a certain detail is not, "just so". There's just no pleasing some people. Bad upbringing, I say.

Mikee Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Alpha is about iteration, it means doing things again and again. If you can't handle that then you shouldn't be playing an Early Access game. Simple as that. im not playing it currently. when i bought the game iv checked the dates between updates, i saw you guys making good work in good time. that was the reason i decided to buy your game in EA stage.

Guest Rassilon Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Pulled down? Not at all. Was reading and responded. He was rude, I was kind, the universe is balanced. How people treat you is their karma. How you respond is yours. True that, handled like a Gentlemen Just said it, because sometimes i get the feeling that only the negative voices are heared, and its a shame if so. Constructive Criticism is something good if expressed in a polite manner, but those rude / trolling Comments you replied about are really not representive about this community.

There's a pretty famous quote by Fred Brooks that goes: "What one programmer can do in one month, two programmers can do in two months." That's not to say that enlarging a team doesn't help, but I think it helps more along the lines of ending with a better product than actually speeding it up. New team members must be brought up to speed, which can take a long time, and then there's only so many logical pieces in which you can split the code so that more team members can work on it simultaneously. I'm also quite sad that we must wait so many months for each new update, but at least so far they've honestly been worth it. If alpha 17 takes the longest because they are finally building what can be considered the final framework, so that they can then polish it, then that's fine.

You are toxic as f. Sorry but you know NOTHING about how ANY of this works, yet you want to sit there and keyboard warrior away at what YOU expect. Gladly submit ANYTHING you have created or worked on, Id like to see how its done please. Teach us all a lesson. I guess you think coding all of this is just fill in the blank templates right? You remind me of the know it all who thinks they can accomplish things faster but would get held up a week because you capitalized the G in gunPistol. Hard to swallow pill incoming: Learn how to spell "because" before trying to tell anyone you "know" they have the money to speed up game developing. Because, you know, throwing money at the screen makes it go fast. VROOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace312 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 What a lot of the impatient complainers here seem to not know or forget is that I personally handle a LARGE portion of the systems in this game, how they are designed and how they work together. If I were to explain it all most of your eyes would simply glaze over, trust me. I now (as of A17) handle Animation Code support, Buffs, avatar controllers, entity stats systems, and UFPS on top of already owning RWG, UMA, items, progression, crafting, xui. So yes, we added more people. That's not going to speed things up, it's simply going to make it better quality. Having 20 heart surgeons in an OR doesn't speed up the operation now does it? It does however ensure a better quality result as more people are looking at things. People can complain about timelines all they want. We finally figured out what all systems there would be, sat down with our new Game Designer and balanced things out and discussed how they talk to each other, I wrote the new min effect system to encompass all desired functionality so that we can easily expand with little or no code support in the future. Providing not only backward compatibility, but more things modders will be able to edit from xml, making a better experience for A17 and beyond. So sure, it's going slow, but that's because we redistributed the systems and I took over more for this alpha to get a solid framework in. Note: Money helps me live but it has never been and will never be my goal personally. I've reached my goal. Make games for a living. Everything else is icing on the cake for me. Great update! Thanks... I love hearing about what's going on under the hood... Ty for the update Kin! Edit: A shame it had to be under the circumstances as it was... But still interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And im thankfull for every POI i see in the Videos, every vehicle. Or the stunning possibilites of the Buff System and Weapn Mod System. So be it 2019, im fine with it as long as we sometimes get something to see or to read about the progress. Im out for today, have a nice Rest-Sunday together.

Albion Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'll see your pill and raise you a reality check. Alpha is about iteration, it means doing things again and again. If you can't handle that then you shouldn't be playing an Early Access game. Simple as that. Doing things again and again is fine, but when we're waiting this long? If you want to do things time and time again, it should be done through steady updates so you don't have an overfilled plate. I love this game, have bought servers for it multiple times, and had a blast, but waiting this long is a little overdone. I support the devs in their endeavors, but when you put too much on your own plate, it's a little silly. I'll continue to wait, but that's really all I can do. I mentioned allowing players into the A17 branch with an early access code in the steam property files, etc but... I don't think that'll happen. We could be helping you guys, at least with bugs to save time. But what I feel is going to happen is, we're going to open the game after this update hits, and feel like we're in an entirely reworked and overhauled game. That isn't always a good thing. Too much to catch up on when you've played it hours upon hours the week before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
