Update Speculation thread

Some sort of fuel ecconomy rating would be nice for when the career mode comes out. Might make you sacrifice on power and top speed for economy .

 

Specifically 10 months and 19 days, since that update was the very first one. We are actually getting a new update slower and slower for now, I'm not complaining, just stating some facts

 

iirc updates used to come around once a month...

 

So far I think the community is handling the current update cycle well. I'm confident that the much suspected "quarterly" update cycle
now a days will be adhered to as much as possible. They probably got tired of the more frequent update cycle and it probably didn't give them
much time to really dig into big ideas. Dealing with monthly deluges of bug reports from only a months work can't be very productive.

On that note, having a bigger team would allow them to do internal bug testing in serious peace and quiet.

 

They already have internal testing. That's what the QA branch is.

 

There are fences on the ETK driver experience centre, right? Italy's fences will most likely be like those, unless all the fences get an update.
In case you don't know what the ETK fences are, they're indestructible.

 

Eh-oh!!!

It's joke, just validating some files because I'm working on something and was being stupid how I did it

 

Shoot! I closed BeamNG before reading the bottom text!

 

We need an Arrrrrrrgh! Rating.

 

Dang it, updates are getting slower every update

 

I know right..

 

Because they get more contents every time...

I'm really looking for Italy. Yeah WCUSA have a city and stuff. But I rather driving on some calm twisty road, with cool locations to go and beautiful view to take screenshots.

 

we need the update so bad

 

Actually, not quite. The initial release dropped at the beginning of August of 2013, and about a month after that, we got the Moonhawk in the first true update (not counting the initial release or minor patches). From then on until at least February of 2014, we heard pretty close to nothing from the devs, followed by the announcement of what was at that time called the 'Race Update.' A few scattered posts in the following months indicated trouble with developing the Race Update, so the development of what I can only assume was to become the scenarios system was postponed, and the 'Pre-Race Update' was released with the Pigeon in late June of 2014. The Steam version, and the Sunburst and T-Series, came within the year.

At this point, with the next update likely being V1.0, I'd speculate the devs might be trying for an anniversary release, bringing the next update as close to four years to the day of the first public version's release. Here's hoping.

 

V1.0? But that will include the career mode, and that isn't anywhere near completed. It's already been confirmed to be 0.10 by the developers (thanks to @Fera).

 

If I'm to give an opinion here, i'd say this update is taking longer as now content may not be the focus as it was...

of course more vehicles are welcome, but we already have plenty and it's pointless to have lots of cars and maps with no objectives...

the scenarios are cool, but really they're more like the arcade mode with short missions and not many options...

0.9 brought us a very early career mode, now I think 1.0.0 or 0.9.5 will focus on expanding that mode...

introducing currency, fueling mechanisms, repairs mechanisms, some sort of parts store, vehicle dealerships...

it's all scripting and coding, but surely isn't easy and a lot of problems may occur...

It's a big change in how we play and they surely want to get it right before calling it a new version...

well, that's how I think...
after all, at this point, adding one or two vehicles, a map and changes to the transmissions would be more for a 0.9.5.0 update than for the next big version number 1.0.0.0

 

It's going to be 0.10. Yep, they're using the Minecraft version of version numbering.

 

and they say I can't reply saying just "lol"
lol

anyway, I think what I said might still be a good guess...
the career as it is could become a lot more with a few interface improvements...

checkpoints of a different colour you stop inside of and menus pop up, such as garage, repair, refuel, parts, teleport to another map...
add in money(parts already have a value in jbeam files) and missions and there you go, a lot more to do...

 

As said countless times, this has nothing to do with minecraft or anything. This is just common version naming. Take a look at these to get a better explanation.

I am going to sound crazy, but I was re-downloading all my files, after failing at making a map, and messing up everything, and I saw a file called "caravan", I have 0 mods of this name, what could this be?? If I can find this file again I'll update you all.
