The Aziz

Problem with CP77 was that it was hyped by both fans and devs for long years before it was out. Like, it was announced 8 years before release. And it still released as version 1.0 in a sorry state despite huge budget, big team behind it and whatnot. Yes there was more game to it (because first person action games tend to have that) but the technical state was so bad that the team started issuing refunds even on consoles, which very rarely happens. Only version 2.0 brought it back to glory, but it really should have been the 1.0 that was stellar (even though it had a reportedly compelling story, Keanu Reeves and a classic Porsche on day 1). We're not there yet. Mostly because of that little "0" at the front of game version.

"If a dozen of people in Squad built a game from scratch to 1.0 in 4 years, we can do twice that if we double the team"

Lemme put it this way: This is the Mun: This is Vall: This is Eeloo: It would probably look like that. Plus colony parts plus new planets. But I assume they quickly realized that what they want to achieve is impossible in such a short timeframe. It was a mistake to put a date on the very first announcement trailer.

I'm at that point in life where no matter what game it is, it grabs my attention for two weeks at most, then I leave it for few months. I can hardly remember what I was doing in KSP2 the last time I played (in January? February?) but I'll probably dive back in after something good drops, be it bugfix patch (depends on which bugs are fixed) or content update. It's unlikely to ever change, that's just how I play. I see no option for long term commitment, unless the new content is so vast that I'll be discovering it for months.

If you can name any other company that did this months in advance with accuracy with error margin of less than a week, let me know. But unless there are people in the gamedev who can foresee the future, I don't think you can. Tell me you know nothing about software dev without telling me you know nothing about software dev. aaand what that's gonna do? Priority isn't equal to first to be fixed. Never was, never will be.

"Need more info/data" is a thing. I think it was when they couldn't reproduce the flickering planets at high warp (which, oddly, only required landing on a tidally locked moon and applying timewarp lol)

We've got all pilots. There are no classes.

Ah ah ah The reports kinda show what's happening, as some of the progress statuses change over time. Unfortunately, (and this is my fourth time saying this) they don't replace the "fixed" or other bugs that did not get a visual status change, with others below top20 user voted. Simple example, lil chonker science reward has been fixed not long after 0.2.1 was out. I don't need to see it close to the top every single time, I ALREADY KNOW IT'S FIXED. Remove it from the list, add something else in its place. A bug has been reproducible but no further progress (fix being implemented/being tested/whatever) was made since last report? Remove it, add something else.

Which means we're in a void for a lot longer than a month. Last patch: January. Last KERB: March 11. Last colony sneakpeek: march 15. KERB schedule change with no ETA of the first one: march 22.

This announcement thread started on 22nd. That date in 9 days will put the next one over a month after anything KERB related. So by what you're saying, it was a biweekly cycle (untrue because of patches that reset the timer) turned into a monthly cycle (that will probably also be untrue because of patches that will reset the timer) with a gap that takes longer than a month. I'm the one who doesn't care much about these particular updates since they bring nothing new, but goddamn it's been almost 4 months since the last patch.

The biggest problem of the community is that they don't seem to accept that the devs have their own vision for the game. And everything that's released that isn't met with community expectations ends up being (very) loudly criticized. (And I don't mean bugs, I mean features that end at certain threshold of complexity) We're here to give feedback on what's already planned, suggest some changes, give ideas on what could be improved - not to order the devs to build a game against their vision. It's not a community made project. Good point bringing Mojang up as they're somewhat self aware. Because they have released this: https://www.minecraft.net/pl-pl/article/vote-update As an obvious joke, but it resulted in one of the most unhinged experiences I've seen in that game. Because of power of vote. Community as a whole doesn't know what it wants, as there's as many different ideas as members. Hard to make a working, logical game based on this. One thing is sure, they're listening to feedback, maybe taking notes of sensible ideas that they didn't come up with on meetings. But none of that can clash with original idea that's been laid out for years. Goodnight. Where 0.2.2.

Not a month since this very report update :') between now and the 22nd or something a patch may appear and the counter will be reset again, to a month after a patch. Just like it always was.

Our resources Technically I could update. But keeping it updated for two years was one hell of a job, and now that it's in the archive, nobody would really notice. Guess now it's indeed better to pull off more thematical thread, as it's gonna be a while before next milestone is relevant. And it can be discussed and actively filled with news.

It's been done before. Even though the news there ended appearing on February 24th 2023. The official status is: leave the official wiki as it is, keep adding to the fandom one, until the official for 2 is created (at unknown point in the future).

Well, at least it's not a Comprehensive Colony Communications Post Cuz that would be a red flag

There are long gaps with extra steps between testing and fixing.

Let's see where this goes. Are you going to be one of the people who will reinstall Skyrim for the 150th time with different mod set in the next decade, or like me, who purchased it a decade after trying it out for the first time, beat the main story and maybe a single side questline and dropped it, never to return, because it was mediocre at best. Yeah I still don't know what all the fuss was about.

Has anyone of your QA managed to - during regular playtests - break a build so badly that it stopped launching whatsoever and required a fresh reinstall? totallynotspeakingfromexperience

Oh this again. Alright let's beat the dead horse: AS EVERYONE CAN SEE, Tom realized how big this claim was, backed from it and called it an ultimate goal. A goal that hasn't been reached yet, just like the game that ain't finished. That's all that needs to be said about it and I refuse to answer to any replies, goodnight.

It's sad that HD1 went almost unnoticed. Or maybe it was just my experience with my team with attention span of a toddler so we never actually played longer than an hour.

People complained that clouds were crappy. Something that adds nothing to gameplay. But they hired blackrack anyway. And behold, the stream of pictures of craft flying through pretty clouds. Nothing added to gameplay, yet people are happy. Because people like pretty things.

We really need that repo somewhere where it's visible to the public as a "want to post a suggestion? Check if it's already planned" But I see you're up to the challenge with informing people Glad to be of service though.

Don't care about kerbs as long as community votes remain the same - and over two months after a patch they're unlikely to change as we saw in the last three reports. The next one won't bring anything new whatsoever. If only they would swap the "no change" lines with others below top20 votes that did change (which I asked for twice already)... Just give me an approximate for 0.2.2, is it within a month, or in June?

Another reason to wait. Those base modules can't be too light, even when they're inflatable. With that, I can get the mission done, and groundwork for a colony. Hell if there was a mission to Ike I'd probably attach a lander to that ship as well. 3in1.

I'm waiting with those until colonies. I simply cannot be bothered with creating a ship capable of lifting 10 Kerbals off Eve (where I have never done that even with a tiniest probe) and landing it fully fueled and in one piece on the surface. No thanks. I'd rather send down there some colony pieces and build the ship on site. Yes but, like, not here maybe? This thread has derailed long ago.
