That is stunning well done. I cant lie i love the Bastion. and even the name God am such a beamng fan boy... well am pound of it.
Most likely they saw, that many couldn't wait longer and brought a half finished update to calm down the community and bring the other half to complete the update, around christmas. (maybe the sceduled date of release if the community had a bit more patience)
Wrong, people like me are mad because it was split in 2 completely unnecessarily and the whole update is littered with hundreds of bugs. I never once complained about how long the update was taking, im really annoyed it has come out in such a completely unfinished state. It should have all come out together at Chritstmas. The only people complaining about how long it was taking were the idiots on this thread which the devs should ignore anyway because they are all about 12.
Looks good but still off-topic --- Post updated --- So in my case i have less issues with 0.24 than with 0.22 and 0.23, but that seems to differ.
I love the name too, that's why I called the bruckell pickup truck i drew in 2019 the bruckell bastion. I'm gonna give the devs the benefit of the doubt and say they probably dont watch my lore friendly car design thread (link on my profile page) but even if, it's a good name
"About the expectation management bit: The content drop will contain one amazing new car, no new features or other content" Okay, then as we usually say, "We can't rush art". That's pretty nice that you communicate this way with you community ! I was just asking myself : if nothing else than the new car comes, what about the ETK Driving Center, teased on Nadeox's Imgur and on game Wallpapers ? Will it be included in 0.25 ?
this could be a two-part update. as in the car would be added in an update to version 0.24 (remember the Hopper Crawler was teased and later shown off before a major update, but it wasn’t included in said major update, but instead was included in a minor update shortly after said major update was released, so it could be the same situation with the new car and other map PBR texture updates)
It isn't only teased on his imgur, it's in the main menu of the game as a backdrop. Besides i don't think it will be 0.25 seeing how little content there is, i tihnk it's gonna be 0.24.1, just like the hopper crawler was released on 0.18.3.
Yes, that what I thought before I read Tdev's post, but he said : "About the expectation management bit: The content drop will contain one amazing new car, no new features or other content"
Watch the bruckell bastion have like 6 configs, one engine, no aftermarket parts and 20 basic mesh and texture errors because they had to get it out in time for Christmas. Holiday updates are nice but as a software developer myself, I can say that they aren't worth rushing, particularly if you have the luxury of working without a strict release schedule. Idk, maybe I'm more patient than the majority of this community but I'm willing to wait for a more finished product.
personally i think the bastion wont be like that since we got a teaser of it in around late october-early november, and the car was already ingame, so personally i think its gonna be a full car with all the features you'd expect
Which i find i bit confusing since i remember the 0.24 Devblog stated at the end that it will release the Bastion along other content. Mhh guess we will see
I hope so, I was more trying to make a point that pushing for hard and fast release dates is not such a great idea with a cutting edge project like BeamNG. There are a number of things in 0.24 that are buggy or feel incomplete, including (in my opinion) the Pessima remaster which could have probably used an extra month on the interior. The seats are too short, there's no cloth option, the plastics are too shiny and it needs crappy fake wood
