Foxster Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Yup, gonna be "in a bit"TM I think. Which is a balance between "We gotta release it NOW" from the marketing types and "there are dozens of outstanding bugs" from the techie guys at Squad. Update: Just spotted that there is an update on Steam planned for about 50 mins time. Edited April 19, 2016 by Foxster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear for this balance. Didn't Squad spawn from a marketing firm? Won't they be strong in the dark side of the force? Always two there are...

My fingers are crossed that we STORE customers will also get the release, but I wouldn't be surprised if they come up with some reason that the store cannot be updated.

They probably also feel like they're under pressure from the community to get this released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game developer who goes five+ months between updates isn't one too concerned about deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, and they really do need to give the fonts a once-over. It just looks really bad for them when compared with mods which have crystal clear text.

The only thing I wanted was a bit faster pace on the build releases - smaller, incremental tests are often more effective at getting stuff done (the ONLY thing agile development gets right). I'd much rather see it purr through a few weeks of PR (as buggy and mod-unfriendly as that is) to a clean release than do the emergency patch dance. 14 minutes ago, Foxster said: Umm, just got the release and it is another pre-release build.

Sure, but they also have a manager that puts them deadlines, the industry works like that, even in "indy" studios. The money they use to develop the game does not rain from the sky, and the % they get for each copy sold is very low The picture of people sitting on a mountain of gold and developing their game when they want to is completely wrong. They have to sell more copies and meet expectations from their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanKell Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Never assume that you have the latest build. That's how people got in trouble in 1.0.5 despite a forum post telling them to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
