I don't think it was defined one way or the other. It works on console now as we have done a bunch of performance and memory optimizations on it, but console memory is so tight that our console programmers need to literally restart the game before you can play the map to ensure maximum free memory. Restarting/resuming is tricky and different between PS5 and Xbox and we don't want to delay more to ensure it works, so it should be in one of the early patches.
2017? No thanks, I much prefer the better version of the game we have now and the better version it will be in the future. For console it has improved so much that it might as well be a sequel.
The industry classically considers gold to be a done game that only gets bugs fixes and maybe balance adjustments. As the industry changed, expansions came along, then DLC for these gold games.I feel like the problem just boils down to how they did this. The announcement was completely random, and it contradicts things they've stated in the past, like how they said previously they didn't want to rubber stamp the game gold
They also said in the faq "However, new users should see the value the game offers reflected in the cost, and we hope that continued support might fund future endeavors in expanding the 7 Days to Die game even further – DLCs, Expansions, and continued free updates (including everything listed in the Road Map)!"
I personally really dislike stuff like this. On top of a price hike, they plan to implement paid dlcs and expansions. They are already going to make bank off of the console release, so I see no need to do this kind of stuff. Is there going to be poi expansions? 10 bucks for some pois that should have been included in the game's price perhaps? I think I saw a couple posts by laz a while back that sort of hinted at that kind of stuff.
"Unfortunately, to do a proper airport with our current standards we would need more than just one airplane model. Maybe for DLC or next game. "
I really hope they don't start selling poi packs on console or pc
I really hate any form of microtransaction, espescially in games that you already pay full price for. I just hope they listen a bit to some of our concerns about this stuff.
One of our console programmers has done a great job improving how the controller works with the UI and gameplay and that will carry over to a reskinned UI when we get to it.
The algorithm has several parts, but basically you divide the vert count by 100,000 to get the score. sky01 is about 35. The current budget is 62. Each location looks at what POIs are around it, not tiles, and reduces the budget, while ignoring scores of 6 or below (my baseline) and then picks something within budget. Tiles can override the budget in rwgmixer, so modders can do big stuff if they want.
Many features already use threads, like chunk updates, chunk collision mesh baking, audio, saving, pathing, networking and Unity itself on things like rendering and physics.
Kind of. Unity delayed the new terms to this year's not yet done version of Unity. You update, new terms. This update is supposed to have better gfx performance, so... hmm
Probably the same. Those colliders are actually the ragdoll bones, which could also use some work for physics reasons. I made a note, but may not get to it for 1.0.
Someone above, @Arez, noted the warehouse from return of the living dead. This would be sweet to pair that up with mortuary and even have the graveyard nearby.
Out of curiosity, what new POI would people like to see in A22 / 1.0 if you could only pick one? Sorry, no airports or yachts...
(Re: bandits) Ah, good news there for those that prefer choices. The more choice, the better.
I don't have all the details, but my initial desire for an event is a mini blood moon, that can happen any day, with some warning to get back to your base. They could also be bandits or a mega zombie. Vulture swarm. Bandits lobbing mortars at your base that you have to go out and stop. A tornado or earthquake would be cool, but you can't fight that. Land shark burrowing up into you base. Sand worms. Trader's wife taken hostage, so you have to get her back or pay ransom. Bandit duel where you each get one shot. Bandit drag race. Timed race to get somewhere. Bandits kidnap you and wake up in random location. I'm sure I can make some more up.
Here are some ideas:Out of curiosity, what new POI would people like to see in A22 / 1.0 if you could only pick one? Sorry, no airports or yachts...
Maybe someday or in a sequel. With the speed of RWG now, I can make a 4k map in like 10 seconds. Perfect for the "you were knocked out again and woke from your coma 6 months later!" event.
I had a feeling someone would hold that against me. "Remember 15 years ago when they said there would be land sharks?!?".That moment when a dev made 14 promises....
That would match your profile picture, but I think you would look better as big mamma.
Would love to see some Museums, although that would probably require some specialized assets to dress them.Out of curiosity, what new POI would people like to see in A22 / 1.0 if you could only pick one? Sorry, no airports or yachts...
You know those shanty town pois that used to be in the game? I really enjoyed how they were sort of different, and were a bunch of different buildings as opposed to a more traditional dungeon style. It's not that great or new of an idea compared to something more novel, but I enjoyed them, would be nice if they returned. I remember dying once to the trapped gun safe iircSome of those are proof of concepts and/or facades for possible future content. They are not all guaranteed to go into production. Dishong is still currently the tallest skyscraper in A22 / 1.0.
We are still focused on downtown remnant POIs currently, but it is still possible for extra unplanned content to squeeze in if we have time so there is still hope.

Hm, alright. Lank sharks or we riot

This is an essential part of every survival game, truly appalling it hasn't been added. We also haven't recieved dolphins, literally unplayable.
Dolphins sound interesting but I just don't see their porpoise...
