Guest Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah they crapped out with the "monthly updates" already, couldn't even manage ONE.Where did they promise monthly updates? "More frequent" was the term used, unless you can provide contrary information in the form of a link to the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jedi Master Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 If I had to guess, they are VERY close to 0.20 and need to work as hard as they can. Anyone want to send them food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedonymous Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Where did they promise monthly updates? "More frequent" was the term used, unless you can provide contrary information in the form of a link to the post. I'm pretty sure in one of the blogs they said they were moving to a "monthly" schedule. As for my source on the management problems, Nexis has mentioned it on several occasions. They're a stubborn bunch apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blspblackdeath Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 As I remember it it was "more frequent" than the updates which came on a ca. monthly basis. Because of the new development cycle which allows the devs to release little updates as soon as one of them is finished with his work on his part of an update. For example: Harvester has finished his works on the flags, so he could release it, instead of putting it into a huge update with several features.But I think for 0.20 they will deliver a huge update again.Of course if they would tell us what is going on we wouldn't have to guess.

Mishkin_007 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I wonder if there's been any firings or some sort of internal shakeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macegee Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I wonder if there's been any firings or some sort of internal shakeup.There might have been. Damion is acting a bit strange. I suspected him quitting his job at Squad, but his answer is pretty vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holo Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I hope that Squad doesn't decide to stop talking to the community because some whiny idiots in r/gaming decided to complain about not being Squad's bosses because they bought one game.Dear Squad,We don't hate you.

Guest Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 What an impatient lot. You don't hear anything for a couple weeks (not months) besides recent blog posts that apparently few are making the effort to read, and you all act like the sodding world has come to an end. Do yourselves a favour and don't ever buy games from EA, Bethesda, or any other major publisher and save yourselves the emotional trauma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's a DLC Crisis. Squad suddenly stops talking to us. DamionRayne starts acting strangely.Of course we're going to be goddamn worried, even if it's only been a few weeks.

Custard Donut (In Space) Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm worried about anything that may adversely affect this game, i'm a new player but i haven't played anything like Kerbal in many years, i didn't even know they regularly spoke to and did streams for the community, that's pretty rare for game developers, if they have stopped it's just my luck, i'm always late for everything good.

DamionRayne starts acting strangely.Of course we're going to be goddamn worried, even if it's only been a few weeks.Yeah, I remember a time (back on the old Forum Software) when there were almost daily development updates, even with code samples etc from Harv.. it was way smaller back then, and since we were all doing experimentals back then you would have much more insight in the development itself, how they tackled problems.. (I remember very fondly how they solved the rotating the universe around the ship/planet thingy to overcome engine limitations) .. so since we now "only" have dev blogs every few days or sometimes weeks, and the streams are quite spotty, I can understand that old-timers that started in the summer of 2011 like me are missing the "good old times".. but this is just common as a project and a company grows, sadly. Still Squad is doing better CM than most, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blspblackdeath Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Sorry I don't buy this, its ok that Squad doesn't talk to the comunity because the company and project grows.It is bad manners to suddenly stop communicating without further notice. Even if Squad burned down somebody could manage to get a laptop and give notice to us. And we would support them after that.

Still Squad is doing better CM than most, so yeah.Those were awesome days. I remember checking the Harv and C7's forum posts about what they happened to be working on specific days. That all changed with the dev blogs though, which kinda changed to showing off finished products instead of what they were working on during specific days. I also remember when they DR started doing those dev streams, which was cool to hear developer voices and such. It is slowly turning into a bigger company i guess. it kinda sucks though because we are use to getting that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSP is a financial investment of US$23. Granted, I could have gotten a nice bottle of rum for that money, but I'll admit I've gotten more enjoyment out of KSP and no hangover.

flyin_ruski Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Anybody been reading the comments on Damion's YouTube video? He is saying a few things but all just as vague.I'm ok with them not really updating us being that there must be a lot of work that goes into the development of the game. The Devs are humans just the same as us and may not have the energy to get on Facebook/twitch at the end of a long day. Just my take on it but the YouTube video has got me curious as to what's going on behind the Kerbal curtain...

Dudeman1420 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) This isnt the first thread in two months, that has asked whats going on.I have seen atleast three.And not one KSP dev or community manager has even commented on ANY of these posts.I do find that a little weird. I hope everything is okay and the game isn't just "done"...because people aren't making the money they expected in the long run.So why do anything other than start on a new project.I mean look at this post, 5 pages long and not one comment from any DEV or manager.
