Update Speculation thread

Tbh I don’t think we are getting pedestrians

and iirc they said that airbags are just not possible

 

They aren't not possible, they just weren't happy with the result

 

I'd imagine making the soft, quick expanding, deflating and thin material of an airbag would be hell. On that topic, maybe it could also make tyre deformation and damage better by proxy?

 

i wonder whats the backend stuff is, for delaying the update.

 

tdev and stenyak explained that in the thread. It's work that makes the devs' lives easier - deleting useless code for example. We probably won't be able to see much change as users, but it'll still be better.

 

Will the update come with content? Or will it just be backend stuff?

 

Probably just backend stuff, but T-Series part 3 may come out soon.

 

People would go crazy with a contentless update

 

T-Series part 3? What more do you want.. a rocket barrage carrier?

 

The devblog for 0.32 listed what's coming in part 3, and these trucks are so versetile that the team could easily keep going for another several content updates for it if they really wanted to

 

They should just keep going honestly

But then people would really go insane

 

"Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, some of the planned features were not included in the current release. This means that you have more to look forward to in future updates, including a V8 engine, additional frame options, and more axle configurations."
Yes. My bad! I always jump immediately into patch notes, heh.

Technical stuff is very nice content. Smaller files, performance.. And fixing the issue where some people don't have grass in BeanMG for 2 years..

 

i bet its the backend stuff + the regular update with the i-series remaster/remake

 

park it in WCUSA. In general could be cool to see military variants of the T-Series or another truck entirely.

The shift pattern shown in today's Development Media news is very weird but not entirely unknown. Apart from having the classic turns of an old-school automatic transmission, it also seems to be featuring the J-Gate of the late-80s to mid-00s Jaguars. The J-Gate gives the driver the ability to shift the automatic transmission like a sequential through all its gears.

 

I'd say the shifter gate in the image is just a mockup for stress-testing the animation system, but it does make me wonder how hard it would be to implement the infamous Spicer 20-speed as a mod:

 

So we go Fast&Furious mode!
