Nootcaase Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We are deeply saddened by the news of the Telltale layoffs. Our hearts go out to our friends and partners over there. Rest assured The Fun Pimps are committed to the future of the 7 Days to Die Franchise and will continue to update and support 7 Days on every platform we can. As more information becomes available TFP will be issuing statements. Cheers Richard I appreciate this update, and the edit removing the information regarding alpha 17 on PC, but I have to say it feels like it's time to make some space on my hard drive. I bought this game 2 years ago on sale for $10. I got my money's worth. Thanks to Telltale for pulling the game to console. Thanks to Clare an Slyth for doing your best to nbn keep the information flowing and accurate. Thanks to the community for the build ideas. It has been fun, but time to move on.

EasyPeasyLemonSqueezy Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Well this ain't good. I just thought I'd come and visit the forums again to see if that long awaited news about the new update has dropped yet, and this was totally unexpected. But, it is what it is I guess. Hopefully those that got laid off over at Telltale Games are able to find other jobs that suit their talents. I'm curious as to what comes of that new survival game Telltale is publishing called Stranded Deep, which was just recently announced to be releasing this month on the 9th of October for console's. Is that game also in jeopardy? Either way, as for 7 Days To Die, just take your sweet time with it. There's no rush considering the current versions of the game are in a very good and pleasable state right now, especially on PS4 in particular, and us console gamer's are no strangers to waiting around either. If we could just get alpha 16 on console's I think that would be good enough to officially call it a finished product as far as I'm concerned. Just my opinion.

irjvik Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Please don't jump the gun, read this first : Those are again sad news for people who were fired, but should not impact existing contracts (aka 7DTD). TTG laid off even more employees, but *did not* file for bankruptcy or cancel existing contracts. In order to have 7DTD "alive" and continuing, TTG needs only ONE person, not a full staff team. This person just need to sign contracts with TFP and IG, and pay IG with the remaining funds. As for now, we have statements external contracts will be honored. So it's a waste for employees, but not necessary for 7DTD as a video game. So wait and see, no need to panic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our main source of information that apparently worked for TTG lost her job. The Fun Pimps themselves came over here to start this post to try to appease the console players. We need to face the reality that Teletale kept on those people to handle their own games not the ones they are publishing for others. Especially with all the signs out there. And Sylen they are working to take of the games from their own studio. That article doesn't say anything about games TTG was just publishing. I loved this game. There is none other like it. But it has run its course. If the Fun Pimps take over, sweet, but somehting tells me that wont happen until they are done with PC alphas. With as messy as the console version release has been, it's not going to be easy to find a new publisher. I personally hold no I'll will toward the Fun Pimps, iron Galaxy, or Teletale.

davaklein Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Console Update is on the way Our main source of information that apparently worked for TTG lost her job.

This is the best game ever made. It runs fantastic right now on the ps4 pro. I just really wish and need that Unity engine upgrade I know its coming. I'm holding my breath and crossing my fingers I even called in sick to work just in case it comes out today. Too bad for TT Clare was very helpful. I would like to work on consoles myself.

Relentless2323 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 All I'm going to say is if 7dtd wasn't ready for console why even put it on there. Second I love playing this game and so do most of my gaming buddy's but I'm tired of hearing that its on the top of the to do list from the modders when it's clear it's not when comes to us console players. With that said it would be nice that when alpha 17 comes out on be PC and all the bugs fixed on it then start on the console version just to show that the modders have just the same amount consideration on console as they do for PC.

Luckystrike2778 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 So if no other publisher wants to buy into the hot mess TTG left then this is where the game quality and content upgrades stop. Gotcha. For us console players anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modding on consoles is not the same as on pc, and given how restrictive the hardware is in consoles, that will probably never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Pimp Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Folks nobody is abandoning the console development. We are working to either finish it as planned or peacefully bring the rights back home and resume the porting of A16 which significant work has been invested. We want to keep it going A16, A17 and beyond. We are only being cautious about releasing statements until things are 100% settled. Cheers Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be said, while the focus has been on what's happened to Telltale, I do feel bad for the guys at Iron Galaxy. Must be frustrating to have done all that work on the next update, only to be left in limbo while this is resolved. Glad to know all their hard work hasn't been in vain.

Cheers Richard Cool, thanks for the update Richard , its appreciated . I am patiently awaiting Alpha 17e on PC and further development in the console area for all the fans. I know it will take time for things to progress but I have faith the TFP will prevail. 7DTD is definitely for me the best most versatile game I have played on PC or console, with no equal. It goes from strength to strength. Appreciate all the hard work TFP staff are doing towards to future of 7DTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is silly. This could be tweeted, published to steam in seconds. I've posted more on twitter taking a dump then you guys do in 6 months. sorry to be critical, but expecting your audience to come to forums to get news in threads and threads of information just doesn't do it anymore. you guys have a game with a cult following, it's your responsibility now.
