Update Speculation thread

it kinda does, considering that branch is basically a private version of the game for updates, so if it gets updated, that means the devs have a stable version to release to the public sometime in the nearish future

 

It was updated 1 or 2 months ago and nothing else happened.

 

But what I'm saying is it gets updated all the time. It doesn't mean the update is ready to public, it just means they have a stable verson.

 

delet because brain fard

 

EXACTLY

/s

 

What are the chances there's going to be a teaser tomorrow?

 

low id say

 

Alright, hear me out.



This video turns 10 years old on May 28th.

Perhaps the update isn't going to come until late May because they have a big surprise planned for the 10 year anniversary? (and we haven't seen many teasers to avoid hype train?) Just a theory though.

 

I would not be surprised if they had a ten year anniversary something coming on May 28th, but weave for nearly two months til that point so it’ll be a while. That would kinda fit into the 6 month update schedule so a large update on that day would not be surprising.

 

Maybe the devs are just doing a social experiment here to find out how long it takes for people to go crazy over here because there's no update coming

 

And the YouTube channel itself turns 10 years old on May 27th!
Updating to 0.25 at that time frame would make a ton of sense since this is a milestone day. Plus, despite what the impatient amongst us may say, this also means that the Dev Team would have more time in order to perfect the update and iron out any imperfections!

 

Postponing the update to around the end of May makes sense also from looking at the teasers. Most of them looked pretty far away from a finished feature, and more like concepts. Especially the supercar, which was not anywhere near a 3d model (unless they were showing us old art, and they made more progress before sharing it with us).
That might indicate that there's still plenty of time for things to cook before we approach update time.

Page 2019! We're getting close to having more pages in this thread than years since...
...well, we can always switch to a Chinese calendar or something, that would give us a few more pages.

 

i hope they at least acknowledge the anniversary if nothing else, having an update on the day would obviously be ideal but it would be a missed oppurtunity to just completely let it slide

 

The company's real 10th anniversary is on July 27, 2023. The day that BeamNG GmbH was officially incorporated. The actual 10th anniversary of the game itself is next August. The tenth anniversary of development passed last year. Nothing happened then. I don't really know why they would do something special for that video, but I can see why they would release a celebratory update next August.

 

I'm surprised we haven't got an update from the devs yet.

 

I’d believe that. 0.25 is a quarters worth of updates so it’d be a double milestone to update on May 28. I’d expect a massive update, the biggest we’ve seen ever. Maybe having cough cough career mode cough cough.

 

This also confirms what the Dev Team said about how long it usually takes to make a complete vehicle from scratch: about 3-4 months. The first sketch of the modern Civetta supercar was shown on January 18th 2022, so it seems to be making perfect sense for this car to be ready by May 27th/28th.

Patience is rewarded with quality, don't worry!

 

It could be in April. It’s really hard to say something for sure due to the lack of information we have

 

Of course, the Major Update could drop at any time. That's why I said "it seems to be making perfect sense", because of this lack of info.

 

I was half quoting your post. Saying it could be April was due to your post. But the last part was just saying that in general.
