Speaking of speedtrees...come on pimps! you are missing the one tree that actually grows all thru the deserts out here in Nevada , Arizona , New Mexico , California , Utah and Texas...that I have seen firsthand in all those states...

Yes , I know it is a minor thing...but it is one I will keep bringing up! ;)

Yes, a million times yes, especially because adobe is gone.

Nice! I like it. :)

 
My town (Niland, CA), looks like it would fit right into 7dtd. Heck, some parts of random gen even resemble my town slightly. Also, I'm really hoping the reason this update is so huge(aside from the obvious stuff we already know) is due to survivors and active settlements :D

 
My take on why it is taking so long is that they hired new people who had to be brought up to date on what they wanted to do in the future, get them familiar with what had been done in the past, discuss what needed to be done so they could do what the Pimps wanted in the game. Have lots and lots of very important discussions of what was feasible, what wasn't, what needed to be changed to make the game be what the Pimps wanted.

Then, they had to get to work on that. You don't go and get lumber, cement blocks, bricks, sheetrock and whatever else is needed and then get the crew and go put it up before the owners state how they want the house made. Design, figure layout, get materials, make sure equipment is working, supplies is needed, crew is able to do the job, all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted, THEN you start to build it.

Yes, some stuff should have been done a alpha or so back, that is past, quick harping on the past. Focus on the future, They have to redo a lot that takes time, then they have to add the new stuff, that takes time, they have to test it and see if it will work, that takes time.

Do something like what I have done, take a break, go check out other games, play some new games replay some old games you have played for a year or more.

I realized that I had to buy a gaming keypad and need to learn how to use it so I can play the game that is top of my favorite list (7 Days). Admit that I need to go to pain management due to back and shoulder. Check out mods and somewhat play them, check out new games, I bought seven of them, watching videos of them so when I can play I will have a idea of what I am dong (I hope).

Relax, chill out, spend time with family, watch a movie with your family, friends, or by yourself and not have to argue over the volume.

Did I remember to say relax?

Happy Easter to everyone.

There have been lots and lots of team meetings. My team meeting on the dev diary HP bar was very well attended by all whom I invited....

 
Roland stated:

I guess I worded something wrong. I was trying to state that the fun pimps aren't sitting on their thumbs doing nothing, they, and the people who have been with them from the start and the new people have been meeting, talking, planning, discussing what needs to be changed and done to make the game great. They have been working, not sitting around, joking and drinking coffee.

Al the changes need time to be worked on, blended with the old stuff, get set up for the new stuff and then it can be released. Until then, chill out, they are working on it, not goofing off.

We need to find something to hold our attention if we are frustrated, find something else to play, go take a walk in the rain, drink a Pina Colada, chat with a friend, go outside and see that there is still a sun or a moon in the sky. Something so you won't sit and get grumpy about the game not being ready for release.

Are you sure that you are not wearing your vertical reality goggles? ;)

 
april 1 fools day and the hp bar raises, hahaha! its funny, becouse the development is slow anyway. good joke roland. your jokes are always good and original. hahaha

 
jeez roland, if i hadnt had a nice long weekend of cutting down trees, milling them, fishing and another day milling ahead i would have freaked at the bars!

Sounds interesting, tell me more.
Or is this "outside" only pure hypothetical.
nah, its only a simulation and the graphics can suck sometimes... and dont get me started on the grind.....lol

 
how about just bring out small update instead of Big updates and NOT keep us waiting for 6 months ! keep us all interested in the game ! not played now for a few months as its repetitive without constant updates
