Spoiler

The exact exchange goes like this:

Marty McFly: Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Dr. Emmett Brown: Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

I don't even think I am really being impatient....about this part. lol
Joel said two months ago that they were going to update the roadmap...a month ago (roughly) faatal said that they are abandoning the "old" name/numbering system. Is it really asking too much for them to put that info out NOW?

Yes.

I will admit I am a little salty because "they" are also saying it will take another 22 months to get to 8.0 - 10.0...whatever the ■■■■ that means now.
It's taken 20 months to get to here.

Since Faatal had a smiley after that comment I would assume those numbers (like the "22 months") are just examples pulled out of the ether.

I am pretty sure they have no dates fixed for releases at all, much less any idea where exactly they will be in 22 months

well...according to TFP they say bandits are going to be in the game this year (or is that 3.0 will be in the game this year?)...I already got ■■■■ on for saying I just don't believe it will happen...so I guess me and you are fools for having any doubts...eh?

I wasn't calling you impatient there. What Faatal said was clear enough even for someone like me for which English is a 2nd language.

I thought you were being deliberately obtuse, but you truly didn't understand as per your own admission.

Then I suggest you ask him yourself to clear it up. Why would I assume he was being sarcastic?

Why would I assume he was being sarcastic?

Maybe not a wrong assumption; I get the feeling Fataal and Fubar both cringe when anyone makes a date.

What should I ask him? I already know those numbers he said are only guesses or examples.

I said smiley and examples, where do you see any mention of sarcasm?

Is the only humor you know sarcastic?

RWG is mostly flawless at this stage (seriously, some great work has been put into it over the years <3), but one consistent issue remains: wilderness POI's spawning adjacent to roads and the POI boundaries creating an ugly square raised section, sometimes making the road untraversable. I hope this will be looked at in the future. Keep up the amazing work!

Yep, I am aware of it and should get it fixed at some point.

Well, we are working on a series of dates internally for the next two years, but when/if/how they are released to the public remains to be seen. News about some of it will be coming in the next few months.

So a minimum of 2 more years before story/gold. Not really a surprise, though it would have been great to have finished the roadmap closer to the original dates. I really want to see the next game.
