What happened to updates?

I do kind of agree with some of these points but then again I don't. You're talking about a small dev team here, not something like EA where a game takes a year to complete [and still feels rushed].

Implementing CEF to BeamNG and developing all the HTML pages and javascript and interfaces is not easy, that would have taken a month+ on its own. Collision and friction fixes would have needed fine tuning as well. Implementing a virtual filesystem and multi-dae took another few weeks in its own.

As for the vehicles, While it is unfortunate that Gabester is having his own problems, life happens.

Game programming/development isn't easy and when you have a small dev team like this working on a revolutionary new physics engine, Obviously things won't go so smooth as planned.

 

Sleep is healthy. Thank you for the BeamNG crew pic sir. That adds a major league personal touch that I have been wanting for over a year. It means a lot.

 

Take a nap dude

 

Go sleep please. You need it.

 

Just to clarify, guys. "Ameuter" is not a refference to skill level how I meant it. He's a good level artist... but I'm not sure he does it professionally?? does BeamNG count as a proffessional in the way he does it? Anyway, I meant no offense for once. Like an ameuteur photographer, does it because they enjoy it rather than it being a job... which is honestly what I got the impression of. Come on, it would be silly for me to "Ror's best vehicle artist, RoR's main programmers and a shitty level designer". Didn't mean it that way. Just... no.

sorry.

 

I'm not sure any of the devs do this professionally in as a fulltime wage paying gig goes. You are correct though, I mistook your description as an insult to LFHutch.
You are one cranky scotsman so the stretch was a simple one.

 

I just read a few response's from people about asking for an update, either your retarded or have turrets because swearing while telling people that their a horrible person for asking for updates is just completely stupid. Your picture might as well be butt humping the devs, but really you must understand people dont want to wait for things after they've been promised to come sooner. "cough" "cough" "red robin" "cough" "cough"

 

New sig.

 

Ok, you seem to be incompetent. Do please show me where they promised to have the game done within a certain time frame.
Again, go code your own game that's worth even the slightest fuck.
Idiot.

 

We all know you folks are working very hard, no one disputes that what so ever. As for my point, I'm just recommending some regular blog updates even if it's just to say
"hi guys!, working hard on various things, we haven't forgotten about you!". Lots of hype has been tossed around for the past year and questions remain, especially with new
customers lathering at the mouth because they saw an awesome Youtube video. ( like me ).

Very well said and true. Anyone remotely familiar with Torque knows a level like East Coast or DRI is an immense undertaking. I have great respect for Hutch, B25, Ouerbacker
and others who do what they do. The word "amateur" pisses me off.

 

This one million times. These guys are working in so much uncharted water it's crazy. From my understanding of things a lot of stuff is being redone from the ground up for this game. Now for a large dev studio to do something like that in a year or two is still going to be rushed but it's at least possible. For 4-8 people to do the same thing on a much much larger scale is going to take time, a lot of it.

Now I used to be part of the group that just craps on devs when I was allowed on the EA forums but that was towards a larger company with a lot more employees doing no where near as good a job as the team we have working on this game. I mean this in it's current state is way better than anything EA Sports has done in the last 10 years. Since then I have seen more of what it takes to make a game and have a lot more respect for developers due to games like this and Intruder. It's a very cool perspective to be able to see the inner workings of how a game is developed.

Now I know there's the reservations about posting as many devlogs as possible because no matter what people are still going to be shit but me personally I would love to see that stuff more and more. Even the stuff that some would say is horribly boring and slow. Even though people are people and with the anonymity of the internet allows them to say things they otherwise wouldn't I still believe more communication is better. Even if it's just to say we are working on this and got totally stuck and had to learn some new things to figure it out. I know some have showed examples of how that doesn't work out but that (to me) just shows that people are still assholes even without the internet to protect them.

No matter what you do you are going to run into some idiots the only thing you can do is just take it in stride and move on to the people that actually appreciate what you do.

 

If you want unappreciative, Bugbear have semi-regular updates and Next Car Game: Wreckfest is steaming towards being completed, yet there are still plenty of grumblings that their updates aren't frequent enough. It doesn't matter how frequent updates are, someone will complain.

Realizing a Sad Truth - This Early Access has Been Pretty Bad

NCG already has upgrades, AI and multiplayer implemented, so it's a lot further ahead than Beam.
