Update Speculation thread

Italy is also much, much larger. I can't remember right now what size they said it would be; 16km2?

 

Yep, it'll take up a 16 km^2 plot, making it four times bigger than any other map that we currently have in the game (unless you want to count Gridmap/Grid Pure, which are both infinite).

 

thats... thats AMAZING!

 

That is awesome! For comparison, does anyone know the sizes of the biggest modded maps?

Time to discuss the Bluebuck.. :thonk:

 

When was Italy first developed? If I can get the answer I can compare it with the development time for WCUSA.

 

Don't... Just stop it...

About Italy. I really hope we'll get WIP release. Looks like people are little irritated because of lack new content.

 

I imagine it best to release it when it's fully complete, an example shows WCUSA which has an incomplete vibe to it, like the barriers in some parts of the city.
Also that'd be a horrible idea, as some people are like thou who judge something WIP.

 

Like how we got the WIP Sunburst?

 

i disagree, because like the legran and especially WCUSA we rushed it and it came out half baked, with a lack of quality.

--not to say that WCUSA or the legran are bad, just that WCUSA is 40-50% finished IMO.--

 

Yes, but it will get better. Why wait for something when you will get the same quality at the same time, but get to play on it earlier, even if it's a little buggy?

 

There was WIP release of Jungle Island (half of the map was just closed behind bush walls) but now it is finished. For me that was more interesting to actually see difference and new content in game rather than just see screenshots.

And that why I like see new updates in Wreckfest. There are plenty of unfinished maps. Is it bad? No as long as that WIP maps wont be WIP forever.

Whole game is one big WIP right now (Early Access). We also get a lot of WIP releases (Sunburst, Jungle Island, WCUSA, LeGran) so I don't see any reason why now it shouldn't be more WIP releases.

 

I checked the BeamNG changelog history (of last couple of years), and around 4 months has been the longest time between the big updates, so in a few days we will reach the 4-month mark (since last major update was November 23 2017), which means the update should release early April at the latest.

 

Actually the longest update was around the 0.3.0 area where it took around 7-10 months.

 

It isn't surprising anymore really that the bus will come... On the pic for the German website & on here, it looked quite ready

 

They're probably playing coy about something that obviously would be released - but there always exists the slim chance there could be a second vehicle in the running we don't know about yet.
