Update Speculation thread

the way i understood it, i think its meant for modders who wants to update their stuff in advanced for updates. i dont think i ever saw a youtuber get anything in advanced. from what ive seen beamng has been very fair with that, everybody gets it at the same time.

and its not like if beamng doesnt go thru everyone they would accept in that program... i dont think its as easy as making a youtube account xD

but honestly an official reply would be cool, i never got exactly what the creator program was for anyways.

 

Did you ever take a look at how long it takes youtubers to release videos about the new update ? Approximatively 1 day for the ones that do good videos. So the update definitely isn't held back by that.

 

https://www.beamng.com/game/community/creator-program/

It's for youtubers and other content creators as described on that page: "This program is designed for fellow streamers, YouTubers, podcasters and other content creators to collaborate amongst themselves and with the development team."

 

ay never saw that page. thx

 

I think that they must've entered his Toilet Internet Service Provider by now for getting a scoop.

 

I know Ermin Hamidovic mentioned in his 0.24 video he was giving the team feedback on force feedback, so I imagine that sort of thing is what that build is for. Watching Neilogical's update videos it seems pretty clear that he didn't even know the update was releasing, let alone have early access. And if he doesn't have access to a CC program for that purpose I don't know who would.

 

I never got the impression that the Creator Program meant that the update would be held back based on when YouTubers released their videos, just that they got a head start. Holding back an update based on that probably wouldn't be very practical, nor would it make much sense.

 

So let me get this straight. the Creator program is used for feedback mostly. is that correct?

 

I have tried to apply for the creator program twice, but never heard anything back from anyone. So not sure what criteria you have to fill to get excepted into it.

 

Updates would only ever get held back by devs to finish up their things not for a channel to prep their content.
The creators get early access to unfinished (buggy) builds to prep videos but also to give feedback and help with bugfixes for the main release.

 

A lot of activity in qa_stable and creator_program today. Can't say for sure if we will see the new car now but youtubers have it for sure

 

Content creator program doesn’t have to necessarily mean that YouTubers can post stuff earlier. It can be that they will get update for example 2 days before the launch so they can create and prepare videos exactly for the launch date and time.
It kinda makes sense to propagate a product like this because the YouTube algorithm will get more overhauled by new beamng videos on the exact launch date meaning that the viewers know that the game has been updated.

 

I never said that when they get new stuff they can do whatever they want

 

qa activity in the weekend? Is it common for them to update qa_stable, qa_latest, or the creator program during this time? I thought they took the weekends off

 

I'm wondering if the reason we have so many bug fixes before the update is so that they can release the update with almost no new bugs or old ones and go straight to vacation.

 

hacking into tdevs kitchen sink to get the latest on beamng news

 

Yeah I found this odd too. Maybe they've got a couple of people working OT finishing up small bug fixes and things?

 

hEy guys do you think the'yre relezing updog todat
