    thanks for clearing the air TDEV, this stupid thread should be locked.
    --- Post updated ---
    where are we going? building a freaking game! what kind of question is this anyway. So much hate for no reason. If you arent happy with the game and its development progress, why the hell are you bitching about it here? stop playing, leave the forums. stop it already, the amount of likes and agrees and post count farming in this thread is UNREAL. thats all its for....and to bitch about stuff thats being bitched about all over the forum otherwise (update speculation, vehicle suggestions, all the other pointless clogging up threads).

    play the game and wait for the update. its going to be really great, and just continue on with the development process. You paid to be part of a beta group, early access. Not everything is going to be finished, done, implemented, because you whine and beg and criticize.
    --- Post updated ---
    stop it please they cant tell us/you anything specific. Thats what is getting everyone all wound up, because they cant have INSTANT GRATIFICATION like they do in real life.

    We planned 3 big updates next year, but we don't know what or when ourselves. We will involve the community a lot more into the decision making for the game and what happens next year. However, that being said, right now, we are 24/7 busy fixing italy and the car up to sth we can release. No to mention the new QA/editor/whatever all the other changes we are working on in the background...

    This thread is not stupid, to begin with.

    This thread is a feedback and a civil critic to the game.

    So be respectful to it. Instead of ramming on into it in a violent way, that ruins how Civil this thread is.

    Honestly, this is the most Civil thread that has ever existed on this forums.

    But then, you can't just directly go and attack the person who created this thread just because he hates the game.

    The game is hated by some people, so what?
    Give them the right to hate the game.
    Everyone likes and dislikes something, so what?

    Nobody has to like the same things as you do, so please, be respectful to them.

    Final period.

    Where I was bought up being truthful was the biggest sign of respect you could show so what you are asking for is disrespect, btw telling people not to negatively speak about your game is like a sin in the game developing world.

    Unrelated note: I(and many others) have been asking for more transparency for years now(appreciate the italy blog) and this goes a long way towards people's distrust now.

    Complaining about things that arent going your way vs giving the devs constructive criticism are 2 different things. This thread is full of people complaining and criticizing the devs that the game isnt being developed fast enough, or that theres too few cars, or that Italy is taking to long to come out, or that the Devs arent giving the community hourly updates as to what's being worked on, and when the Devs DO comment, its just more criticism. Giving someone the right to hate something that you work on, thats absolutely ridiculous. Ban them. If I was working on something for years, and someone is actively bashing it and complaining and groaning on and on, id kick their ass out in a heartbeat. It's just that theres to many people like that on this forum for the devs to do anything about it. If you dont like it, get outta here then. Its that simple. I completely enjoy the game in it's current state, and especially knowing theres a big update coming right around the corner. So once that comes out, its completely acceptable to provide feedback and constructive criticism. But to be doing all this hemming and hawing right before an update is due, just goes to show the level of immaturity around here. I never once asked for a release date on anything. I have patience and I know what I signed up for. It's really annoying (as pointed out by TDEV himself) to have so many people being SO annoying and nit picky. Go find something else to obsess about.

    Thank you TDev, very cool!

    Also, this thread should not be removed as it is constructive and that would be straight up silencing us. A game cannot improve without feedback.

    Sorry if i came over insensitive, but trying to make us look like crap despite all the work we put into things is really heartbreaking. We are working on making this game better every day, our lives are dedicated atm to do that. If people then start to count you down, because they can think that "oh only 2 cars this year" and disregard that we increased the complexity in every car over the last years by a huge amount ....

    We added a special feature for the autobello, the torsion bars. This feature alone is a huge improvement to the vehicle dynamics and adds a lot to the feeling of the game. But yes, only 3 vehicles count i guess. We could easily produce more cars, despite our key person is still battling health issues due to working too much. We want to populate the airport with things, and ideally, thats little trolley cars that you can drive around. Sadly, we are limited by the amount of time we can work per day and how many people we can finance with the "pay 15$/25$ once 5/X years ago" method. Thanks to threads like this that get started by a glassdoor review that was posted by a disgruntled employee, who has most likely mental problems and saw every little bit of help that we tried to provide him with as attack to his personality, this thread is starting to get out of useful proportion and transforms just as a vehicle to bash the developers a bit.

    Some people have taken up the role as "we need to be the voice of the community - because the devs do SHIT!!!!!" - yeah, sure. Well done. We are listening to you even without such a thread that influences bad mood across the whole team, disillusions the community and sheds a shitty light on everything possible.

    No, i value your feedback immensely, i just have a problem with people that have a bent world view, that are too ignorant/too stubborn to see the view from our point of view once.
    I value your opinion and we are still speaking here, correct? If i wouldn't care it would be deleted or locked and some people would get a ban. But i sincerely hope, that some people find back to some senses and get their things together other then trying to put us down here.

    Just enjoy the game we have, it’s nearly Christmas so we could all do without stuff like this. Beamng isn’t a game the devs work on on the back burner, it’s their entire day and the more we all do this stuff about the game bieng bad the less the devs work on improving beamng.

    Tdev, I know you're working hard with your team to bring joy to all of us here, but PLEASE do not overwork people in your company too much because instead of having Italy & Piccolina, we will have work related death(s). You can just say to people on the forum that for example something won't be released at a certain date, because you value your & your workers health over just a piece of virtual content & they will have to deal with it or leave. I really hope you'll let off a bit & take your healths more serious :)

    We are planning to have this not happening, the 2D art is done, the sound needed some last touches, like church bells, some siren and all. Then we figured the new BC7 texture compression we use for the autobello will not work on older DX10 cards. Steam hardware review reveals that these are still 3% of the people we do not want to leave standing in the cold. Instead of recompressing it all to the older, and artifact ridden BC3 format, we added a dynamic fallback to the old format, so new cards have awesome quality and old cards will downgrade the quality dynamically. Also enables us to potentially reexport all the other game textures do BC7, but that's a lot more work. Just one example of the unforeseen problems we are facing...

    Also, the core team will need to work over christmas on the hotfix, not much holidays there. The 2d/3d teams and so on will have some rest at least hopefully :)

    We all love this game, and you bring us all happiness hopefully. I think its theses youtuber's that have brought in these type of people, expecting your company (if it is yours idk) to be like an AAA company.
    Really your just a simple indie company doing an amazing project. With the amount of work your co-workers put in, these people are amazing. All these "haters" are just trying to bring you down because the company doesn't work like an AAA company.

    It's ok, i value feedback a lot. However, i object to "Make some shit up every week to shed a shitty light on things".

    People who shout the loudest do not always represent the voice of the community. We have an all time high rating of the game as of lately...

    I thought this thread was for feedback. So let's all stop going at eachother's throats and try to make the game better for once.

    At this point I do not believe there is any reason to keep complaining. We now have a decent picture of what exactly took the AB and Italy so long (torsion beams, optimization, dynamic adjustment of texture compression to account for 100% of the user base's graphics cards, etc). We know that there are things planned for the future (at least three major updates next year, Wendover, Bluebuck) and that the engine is still being worked on. "We are going" towards improvements to the engine such as torsion beams and air-cooled engine thermals, optimization without breaking compatibility with older GPU's, better sounds, diesel engines, and at least the remainder of the planned vehicles.

    Thread's title should be changed to "BUGGER DEVS HERE"

    Personally, I don't think it's the right time to complain, the game could rocket up with the release of Italy and the Autobello combined.
    You can't judge this until it's too late, however, when it's too late, it's too late. The complains about Italy and the Autobello being disappointing likely shouldn't be acknowledged, when you hype something for months on end and then deliver it, a few people will be disappointed unfortunately. Personally I only joined this to show an example before this stuff comes to a close.
