Update Speculation thread

I don't believe so, but uhhh A for effort?
Though it's interior is very dated in terms of quality, it's certainly not lacking in content.

 

I think those sunbursts might just be there to give an idea of scale. Also I'm pretty sure it was mentioned earlier in this thread that that image is a 3D render and not in game

 

Not every picture of a car has to suggest a remaster

 

Honestly I'm not entirely sure that the Gridmap remaster would come in the next upcoming update(0.22), but possibly the one after it (presumably 0.23). Remaking maps takes a long time.

 

On the other hand, Gridmap is purposely basic, so I think they could get it done in a month or two (in time for 0.22)

 

Oh hopefulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy they add more modern VEHICLES i really want a full sized SUV,modern super car, or a full sized sedan!!

 

This is not the place for suggestions. Check out https://www.beamng.com/threads/vehicle-suggestions-see-first-post.79/

 

We are probably looking at 6-10 weeks to the update. 1-3 weeks of that will be for QA/preparing for release. It sounds like Gridmap might not even be out of concept stage since Leeloo mentioned they are still going through feedback. Then consider the size increase of the map... That's a lot of work to get done for 0.22

 

Yeah, that's just concept art. If it's still in that stage, I wouldn't discount the probability it's not ready in time for .23, although I was surprised by the Jungle Rock Island remaster time from concept to release.

 

Speaking of concept art, here's my iteration of the Soliad Wendover that I spent too long making in MS Paint:

 

Do note that asset creation is likely far easier for gridmap as opposed to a more "realistic" map as everything is basic shapes with basic textures. The most important part of gridmap is it's layout and how everything meshes together, which is probably why that's taken so long.

 

So we should get a prop revamp update...

 

more props yes but a update no i think

 

The props are fine the way they are...

 

The only thing that keeps me thinking that they will release Gridmap with 0.22 is that they have posted it and marked it as #TeaserTuesdays on FB post (2nd March). Why would they tease something that will be in an update after this one. Unless they did it before.

Btw props are fine. Low poly at least allows to spawn more of them without affecting the performance that much.

 

Wendover was also a #TeaserTuesday, but hasn't been released yet

 

I think Wendover teaser was the only time such a thing happened and it was very likely because of the super realistic photoshop CaptainZoll posted a few days before. Developers probably wanted to prove that he is not getting unreleased content and that Wendover is early in development. However, this is just my speculation regarding that and I am not claiming it is true.

 

It use to be very common for them to do that, it still happens once in awhile (though the days of "Teaser Tuesday" are fairly recent so there isn't much precedent to go on). As other's have said, the Wendover is one example. The D-Series crawler got a bunch of teasers before the release of the summer update too. That's already going back to the begining of "Teaser Tuesdays"...

 

are they though?

now of all times would be a good time to update them, since they'll be making a whole bunch of new art assets for gridmap.

 

I think the only one that needs work is the Tire Stacks, because the tires don't separate and fly off.
