PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

[TSBX]

I hope in A17 we can use a buff to automatically drop any equipped bow if your strength is above 10.

I have a humble request @Roland/forum staff:
PLEASE make the next dev diary an actual dev diary thread – you know, a place where the devs post about progress like fataal does and keep all the (more or less) senseless arguments somewhere separate. Maybe even lock it completely and keep the "discussions" in other threads.

I know there's the first 2 posts summarizing all new info, but it would be nice to be able to see the progress updates in visual, chronological order. Have (more) devs post directly, crosspost all the Twitter and YT posts, throw in a few screenies every now and then - AND THAT'S ALL WE NEED in one place and easily accessible.

Then those of us who'd like to just see what's new and coming with THE GAME and not with the "community" don't have to skim through dozens of pages of "Dis early access, deal with it"-"But muh expectations"-"De definitions say dis"-"Dey need to commoonicate better"-circlejerk. Less talk, more show.

As a somewhat long time reader of this forum, I'm friggin tired of it.

I'LL 2nd that

I 3rd this. Why can't this just be a thing already?

 

[Drithyl]

It would be great if there was a locked thread for developers only, and a separate one for people commenting on it, yes.

I forth this!! I'm sure more people would like updates then the latter. Would love to see more interaction and love especially with such a long wait. The pasterns of them popping in and out over the last few alphas have been very inconsistent. I love the game just wish the devs kept us updated better!

 

[Boiler-27]

It would be nice to see news from the developers on game development once in awhile.

Trifling through forty pages everyday of conversations of batman and panties profile pics serves no purpose. The emojis are even worse.

Maybe a new website , new forum and new moderators are in order to remedy this situation to receive game updates.

Yes please! Exactly what he said!!

It is there first game together as a team, hopefully they can learn from this game and do a better job at connecting with the fan base. Even some picture updates and short videos would be nice. Maybe have someone within the team who makes the posts and gives updates. Someone with a little more experience in PR and who is a little more perky and alive when making videos and posts.

Don't try to conflate different meanings of the same word (ie. #1 & #2 for invest). When y'all clicked the button on the store page, it said "Purchase", not "Invest" lmao.

See. This here. This is why messaging in posts gets lost. No body really scrolls back.

Sorry homes. Made my points earlier. Still stands.

hey homes, doesn't mean the fun pimps cant improve a few things. Customers should still be able to give feedback.

 

[Jackelmyer]

The fact that only a handful of people of people are crying (you and your friends) on ANY of the forums(here/steam/reddit/etc) says it all. The rest either don't care or don't know anything is a miss in the first place.
Dude you've spend 20+ pages crying about emojis, I mean seriously, EMOJIS?

Sure steam could do that but they won't because it would drive players and other developers away. Besides the pimps could pretty easily just start hosting the game for sale again like they did back in the day, it would be a minor inconvenience at best. And seeing how the majority of users would NOT want the game banned you're out of luck with your crying

It's okay Bunt Cake. We'll be sensitive and you can be angry. Cinna Stick, I'm all set on my points. Wasn't actually crying Peaches. Was perturbed. There's a difference, Fluffy Bottoms Honey Bunch.

BFF XOXOXO

I'm actually absolutely with ya. Don't disagree at all. There's a lot of history tonight with that comment of mine you responded to.

But I'm definitely on your side there.

 

[eidobunny]

what if the 3 little happy faces are the devs surveying the squashed bugs, like survivors collecting loot after a blood moon horde

 

[Jackelmyer]

Dayyyyum whats with all the sweet nicknames, whatcha got for me ? Im getting jealous

Oh someone just seemed to really like sweet nicknames Buttercup! Of course I got some sweet ones for you, ya lil drop of goodness you!

 

[Jackelmyer]

How about pudding pants?

No.

Just. No. That's gross. Please. God... No. Not that....

Anything is better then Fatty McButterpants...

Well that's not a sweet name at all!

- - - Updated - - -

Fixed that for you. TFP is giving a crap for its customers as they work hard on their stuff and as faatal and Gazz continue to interact every time they crap.


Your stuff looks like a tantrum to me. *shrug*

All good man. Fix yerself first. I'm set. And just cause you sound monotone doesn't mean it doesn't seem like your own tantrum. We all work in our own ways.

And nope. Not a tantrum here. Yall want to gang up on people sharing their thoughts fine. Just stop crying when they don't care.

- - - Updated - - -

I think it's a matter of perspective. I don't feel I "contributed" to 7D2D, instead I feel I bought a product. Which I have thoroughly enjoyed and will continue to do so with each "free" update.

Okay cool. Thanks for that! Seriously.

I dunno man. I think some of us bought into the idea of early access. Of where we're like a village trying to push this thing in an awesome direction.

I absolutely don't feel nearly this passionate about a Nerf gun.

Huh. Maybe Steam should revise the whole Early Access idea all together. *shrug*

Thanks for the insight man!

Exactly this.

 

[Vedui]

Based upon feedback from our testers, I think AI, path finding, sleepers and vehicles are all good enough for A17e.

That's great to hear!

Might one be so bold as to inquire as to whether this included multiseat jeeps (or is "good enough" bar set at that not working and not included yet), and the gyrocopter?

A video of those things working would be awesome. Unless the "good enough" bit excludes both those parts on purpose.

 

[Bobetholemew]

The game needs to force challenge upon the player, not expect me to deliberately handicap myself in order to generate an artificial challenge.

You should play on my server @Vomkat; you will definitely be challenged. :cocksure:

We can try it again. It wasn't super popular the first time we got strict. But I'm willing to give it a go.

@ faatal

I really can't see how you can still be so diplomatic and calm, reading all that Critique. As a Waitress I have to swallow alot instead of bursting out my feelings, but you Sir act on a master Level.
