PC 7DTD - Will it ever leave Early Access?

God,I hope not; but yeh eventually the free updates and new content built on an already good game are going to end, sadly.

 
basically what im saying guys is lets not underestimate 7dtd the devs know what their doing otherwise i doubt the game would be where it is today :)

There is nothing to underestimate, 5 years later and no clear roadmap, its an observation. it's ALREADY passed its expiration date. Development is ALREADY moving at a very slow pace. Was 7 days to die a pretty good game? absolutely. I don't regret buying it, but i do regret that i won't be around for the final product and campaign that i signed up for. Its too played out and dated and at this point even the vehicle hype is not keeping my attention.

The fun pimps are great guys, but i wouldn't back them again because i'm not waiting 5 -7 years for a finished indie title.

 
Fallout 4 = AAA Title = Release 2015

Now its 2018 and 7D2D is more stable in its Alpha than Fallout 4 >2 years AFTER release and after being abandoned by Devs except updates toward CC.

So thats a Pointless Discussion

 
diablo 3 had 11 years of development and it was a pretty ♥♥♥♥ty game when released for 60 euro

most AAA original (not clone like fifa or cod) title has 6-7 years of development with dozens if not hundreds of people working on it

this game started with two guy and an idea, they could polish and release the game a couple years ago but they decided that 7dtd was worthy of more effort and i personally appreciated

i bought ark a couple years ago, pretty game but i abondoned when i saw the direction they want to go

release paid dlc in alpha? seriously?

pvp players could go play rust or dayz if they want, i wait here for their return

 
Dated how? Is there some similar game that is superior that I can play? Specifically, is there an open world survival builder that is light years ahead of 7dtd?

Yes, if you know one please name it. I search since months comparable games.

The search is very frustrating

 
3D egoshooter game with a decent settlement/base build part would be enough for me.

Sadly all i tried failed

* Fallout 4

* Empyrion

* Ark

* The Long Dark

* Planet Nomads

(next i try is Space engineers)

First few hundret hours are nice when you learn how to survive and how to build bases/ships.

After that only PVP is left and that means

* Server that want real money

* Capital ships that fly like super mario cards

* No endgame Content

Okay thanks. Not into pvp for these types of games which leaves it on par to 7 days in my book, no endgame content

Empyrion is amazing the first time you survive to build a land speeder and then progress to a spaceship and leave the planet. After that it is just mainly building. So if you really enjoy building bases and ships in a futuristic setting then you'll probably get 100's of hours out of it beyond the initial survival/progression arc. If you have it then it would be a great game to play while waiting for A17 to drop. You'll really enjoy your initial play of it

 
Empyrion is much like 7dtd in that once you are fully established there no real threat (even less so than 7dtd). It’s different in that you largely have to seek out the threat in the early to mid game. It’s a fun game and has a nice progression curve but it lacks mid/late game content. I also prefer the building system as it allows for more creativity. If you don’t enjoy building, then this not the game for you.

 
Yup, Empyrion's current game arc.

- Mine using your drone.

- Build 2 Cannon Turrets and put them on your roof.

- Build up a Mega farm and max out levels.

- Conquer the worlds. :)

TBH some of the POI's are pretty dang hard to subdue.

 
7d2d have been like a jack of all trades (and a master of none). A fine mix of fighting, building, digging, exploration,

tower defense, survival and more.

"They are Billions" have bigger hordes, but with that strong hordes, only few viable endgame solutions.

"Stationeers" have better base system building, but horrible inventory/control scheme, and no fighting.

I liked setting up gas and electrical system in this game, and building a base. But no real

desire to do it again.

"Space Engineers" have better engineering, but weak AI. More building sim then actual game.

With a better AI and enemy system, it could almost compete with 7d2d.

The AI in 7d2d might not be the best, but it has been more then good enough to make a very playable

and entertaining game. And zombies, IMO, don't need to be smart.

While i might disagree with quite a few of the changes announced for A17 and beyond, it is TFP's game

to do with as they choose. I've had my share of fun with their product, and if they manage to change

the game around enough to keep attracting NEW players, they done quite well, at least business wise.

After all, it is the NEW players that will support TFP in the future, not us old-timers, though a few will

possibly stay around.

Long development time... uhm, i don't really care that much if they spend 1 or 3 years per alpha, nor if

they call it alpha, beta or gamma. I play it if/when i like it.

Are the maps randomly generated? Its a deal breaker to me if its static. 7 Days random Gen spoiled me :(

It’s varied over the course of its development. It was all procedural and then switched to heightmaps with semi random placement of POIs. Version 8.0 is about to get an experimental release and this will likely be tweaked again.

And more planet sizes. I think it's going to the new Unity engine also.
