dr.phees Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 People, while I agree they should not have set a date for release, be glad they caught some stuff before release. And relax a bit, watch a movie or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release working version later Pick the one answer that's not going to anger a significant section of the community. Expand But this happens all the time I don't think they should give a release date until they know the game works correctly because crap like this always happens and we are prob going to have to wait months until it comes out.

Expand Yes, I second this. Unfortunately people are just seeing this whole thing as a big screw up (they're just delaying it to fix some bugs, but they would still complain about those bugs if they released it on the 21st as planned). You can never satisfy a community with your content, and while I do acknowledge that the year long wait was incredibly unfortunate, porting a game to console and developing it with a small team is actually kinda difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some serious money, as I had read about (your mileage may vary, but I don't believe "Indie game" is applicable to KSP anymore since TTI has bought it). If its unavoidable to have people complaining on you, at least do it in the less expensive way. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not, it's not. I want to share a small history to you guys, fresh on, right from the trenches. Client needed a feature urgently. A feature that wasn't working correctly because it wasn't implemented, besides them giving us the "green flag" and accepted the delivery (the whole product was rushed into production, and we borked on that feature - we just had forgotten about, we gave them a release in 25% of the time we are used to do normally!). Ok. Both parties borked on this one,. But guess what? They really needed that feature, as they already put that in production and they had a whole parking lot of trucks waiting for the permission that the feature was expected to get. Well, we tried to argue that making a hot deploy like that with fresh code was dangerous, etc, etc, etc. But they told us that they were loosing money, and it was best for them to avoid another day of losses. Great. We worked in a rush, and managed to get that feature working fine to the end of the day. The deploy was done 45 minutes before the deadline when the trucks would had to sleep another night on the parking lot. Success! Or near it. Next day I was waked by a phone call. Do you know that feature we rushed into production? It was working fine. But it was the only thing working fine - all the rest were kaput. Just like that. It was a small, idiotic, mistake on a critical code that I had to change in order to shove the new feature on the system - but since we were in a rush to meet an almost impossible deadline, we didn't had the time to run any tests but the one for the feature needed. But they only lose a morning, and the piled tasks could be executed on lunch time. But yet… That caused some unneeded trouble for a lot of people. The bottom line? Pressure only works when the problem is laziness. You can't push more pressure on a already pressured system without blowing things. Edited March 22, 2019 by Gargamel Portions Redacted By Moderator.
