Update Speculation thread

You're not as crazy as you might think - of the nineteen major updates from 0.15 onwards...

-Monday's had four (0.26, 0.24.1, 0.22, 0.18)
-Tuesday's had four (0.29, 0.28, 0.27, 0.21)
-Wednesday's had four (0.30, 0.25, 0.23, 0.19)
-Thursday's had five (0.24, 0.20, 0.18.3, 0.17.1, 0.15)
-Friday's had two (0.17, 0.16)

 

Yes, that's how I know ​

 

It's 12:53 EST here and 7 AM in Germany.... Guys, I think the update might be coming out today.
--- Post updated ---

will update

 

I guess I will check back in the morning

 

Please, do not @spaceLeeloo, it is rude to ping people, especially devs.

 

Was the creator branch even updated recently? Most Steam branch updates I saw are for qa_latest

 

It's been updated twice - once on Friday, and again on Monday.

 

19th December, is more likely than ever since we have gone two weeks without a teaser.

 

That could also mean that the update is today or tomorrow though and they simply don’t give us any more teasers because the update is so close. And tdev was active in the discord which is also a good indicator normally

 

Last time they dropped teaser day before release, but it could be that they planned to drop the update yesterday so they didnt prepare for teasers, or it could be that leeloo is sick (i think we once didnt get a teaser because she was sick, they are human after all {i think}) or took holiday break earlier

 

Theres other people in the PR/advertising team than just Leeloo. Your argument doesnt stand, its just a teaser and anyone who is qualified or doing their job as the above, could easily do it as well.

They're most likely putting all their effort into get the media ready for yotube and the devblog, rather than posting a teaser; which in my opinion, they put way too much effort into in whats essentially should just be screenshot of the game or whatever they decide to share.

 

Where do you get the idea that someone's sick?) At this rate, you'll start burying them soon.

 

she herself once said that she was sick couple months ago on discord i think.

In past Fluffy panda has also done teasers, but nowdays official teasers seems to only come from leeloo (some exceptions), She is marketing lead, and teasers fall under that.

 

In the meantime, work is boiling)

 

0.24 be like: *sleeping and suddenly beamNG update
--- Post updated ---

 

Yeah, 0.24's one of the latest-releasing updates within a single day, within recent history. I think people weren't expecting the update to drop so late when it came out.

They used to also do concept art for teasers (0.27 had two concept art teasers, including the infamous UTV one), but they've mostly stopped doing those since 0.27 released - screenshots are probably way easier (and less controversial) than those for building up hype.

 

concept art is usually made as a guideline or inspiration for further down the road when making the model or a map, so they probably reused it for some teasers. I dont think they have a dedicated concept artist tho, but its probably the first step when making a new map or vehicle. You can also see them using it as guideline in the first Aurata teaser

 

Muye has also been playing BeamNG for a long time, he's certainly doing his

"Everything new in BeamNG 0.31" video

 

ooooooooor he's found yet another way to (not a) crash a chernobyl mess slightly resembling a Pigeon again and its taking a long while

 

Once 16 minutes ago and then they had updated it 2 hours ago, apparently they are cooking something again

[EDIT]: 4 devs are playing again
