Console [07/11] - Message from the Team - Progress update

I bet. It sure seems to get outa hand. Oh well, i mostly stay on the console side anyway so its all good. Hoping to one day see the "new update coming" thread.

 
I am here for that slim hope that we will at least get clear confirmation one way or the other. Or at least some clear statement indicating intent beyond what little we have which is a stretch for the way information had been handled for this game.
I am sorry if I'm finding the negative in the situation, but at some point we have to face facts based on what we know, which is honestly not much. What I do know a lot about, more than I'd like to admit, is phrasing things in order to cover one's own backside. It's what I've picked up on within the information provided.

We dont know how far along this update was before any of this happened, at least not beyond the UI. We dont know how far in advance Iron Galaxy was paid if at all. What we do know is that Telltale is not paying anyone after declaring bankruptcy. That's the entire point of that move. Without money, they simply cannot pay a developer. There is no way they can finish publishing contracts. I am not just pulling the negatives when I say that TTG is not finishing this update.

I am sorry for my negativity, but without more information, I just don't see any positive outcomes.

Wow, same reason I come here. Except I have to read about things that are not “messages from the team” which is this treads topic, or any kind of features in an update that Vegas would give odds isn’t going to happen. Which is why I suggested this thread be closed. just saying.

 
Agreed. I think Roland closed the wrong thread. Shoulda left the "telltale layoffs" thread open & closed this one until any official word/news comes out.

 
Hi guys. This is more because of pure curiosity that I ask this! Have any of you guys killed a zombie and have a damaged white sedan drop into their inventory?! It happened to me when I did just that, it dropped straight into my inventory, not from looting the corpse! I only noticed because I saw the drop icon picture upon smashing said zed's brains in. It stood out because I had never seen it before! Obviously a bug but a pretty funny one at that! And I do realise this question has no relevance to the thread but as I said, I'm curious!

No, never experienced something like this. I would use the car to block a building's entrance if zombies try to get out. Watch them being blown up after attacking the car too often.

The only bug I have over and over again occures while I try to stack myself up with wood frams. Sometimes the block I have placed beneath me just does not appear and I end up caught in a weird mix of hopping and falling. I only escape this way of being stuck by grabbing the very next block (wood frames of course) beneath me. I already have been killed multiple times in this situation.

 
okay so I have found these two links do not know if they've been posted here or not . https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?87501-Telltale-Layoffs

The first link is a now closed thread in these forums, so yes we know that.

The reddit information is outdated.

https://www.pcgamer.com/telltale-is-working-with-multiple-potential-partners-to-finish-the-walking-dead-the-final-season/

They are going to work with other studios to finish the Walking Dead season 4.

If there is truth in the idea that 7 Days to Die not being affected, then why haven't the Fun Pimps just said that? I dont believe Sony will allow 7 Days to remain a PS4 title without a publisher. I doubt the Fun Pimps have the funds to publish it themselves.

But that is just my take on it.

What is yourenlogic many many many titles are on ps4 ps3 and the ps network that companys are no longer afloat. They will not simpley remove the game due to them failing. And withdraw youre access or my access to a game we payed for. By agreement theybwould have to refund everyone that bought the game. And soby will not dobthat stop the fear mongering

Sony's own policies prevents indie games from being sold for their consoles without a publisher. It's their policy. Dont believe me? A new indie game called Dead Matter, is currently searching for a publisher so they can put the game on consoles.

Also, Sony choosing to no longer allowing a game to be sold on their system does not mean they need to refund people that already bought the game. It only means they could decide to no longer sell it. And if a game no longer meets the requirements to be sold on their platform, then yes the can and will stop selling that game.

Do have specific examples of said games still being sold that are indie titles where the publisher flopped?

What I find interesting in these forums is this. You try to spend so much time trying to keep hype and speculation down about update release dates by pointing to the data supplied and saying hey no set date was given. Not seen as negative.

But apply similar logic to the information supplied, and suddenly you're a negative fearmonger...

No such law anywhere on planet Earth, sorry.

Even for defective cars, processed food, computers, weapons, clothes there is no such obligation.

Even for asbestos, there were lawsuits, but no refund as it was found guilty of being a lethal component.

Nah I'm patient for alpha 16 I'll be 60 then but at least I'll have lots of time on my hands lol joking aside I love 7 days to die it only cost me £25 on the ps4 back in 2016 so had lots of fun! so it'll probably never get this update I've had to face that reality.The game is good and a very bold idea but TFP it seems bitten off more than they can chew it was a valiant effort but obviously was unsustainable! My GF she has the pc version and even that they seem to be having great difficulty finishing or struggling to give a assured estimate release date for alpha 17! So I'm just going to enjoy the game for what it is a very fun unique game

 
The only refund I ever got was for some stale doughnuts I bought once.

Coolest MD5 ever took all gardens, the shed,watchtower.Left entire base untouched.

Took about 500 tries to find that one,should be an achievement.

Well I will check back next week.

 
So I just seen some pics of the unity improvements on facebook. Granted it was on pc but it's looking hella awesome!! Patience is a virtue!

 
It's been about 4 months since anything was even said about an update and what they said told us nothing about it....i loved this game but if i knew the developers didnt care about us this much i never would have bought it🙄

You've got some reading to do.

[h=3]Sticky: Telltale Layoffs[/h]

 
No ive seen it, has nothing to do with the update only has to do with the layoffs. Plus the thread has been locked for a week

 
I've been waiting for over a year for any kind of update, or any kind of work around to the MD5 errors that continue to plague my gameplay. I have been using all of the workarounds that fans have found, and still having an insane amount of problems with the MD5 errors.

The last straw was when I spent 6 hours building a new base, only to have it MD5 out and clear every one of my treasure chests. This game is unplayable in its current form, and after waiting a full year for ANY kind of update whatsoever, ANY kind of fix whatsoever, with quarterly reminders that "We're getting super close tho" only to see the publisher go bankrupt... I give up on waiting.

Needless to say, I have uninstalled the game. It has a lot of potential, but the developers involved seem to be incapable of making it functional. Nobody gives a ♥♥♥♥ about getting new content when the game is fundamentally unplayable. I will not buy any new content from IG or TFP until the content I have purchased is functional. Your plea on Facebook for everyone to buy your broken game on steam sale, and for me to help you con all of my friends, just goes to show that you really don't give a single ♥♥♥♥ about any of your fans. TFP just wants to grab the money and run, but you won't get another dime from me. Ever.
