I haven't heard anything about blueprints!

Didn't MM say something about having blueprints or something to do with building?

 
My 'problem' (it's not really), is that 'It's Alpha' is often used to counter-argue the question/demand for optimization. And by forgoing the classic, rigid, definition of Alpha-Beta-Gold, which occurs when adding features post-launch/post-optimization, one forgoes the 'It's Alpha' argument as well. Fine by me that features will be added during Beta/Gold/whatever you want to call it, no problem at all. But the 'It's Alpha and therefore optimization will come probably later'-argument will not hold if the classic structure is not followed.

A lot of optimizations have already been done to the game. If not it would be running at 5 FPS and need 32 GB RAM. Can there be more? Sure, but that is an ongoing process.

 
The Horror!!!! What will the immersion Nazis do???

Your attitude sucks. Oh the HORROR of people actually playing a game to immerse themselves in it.

With your point of view we may as well be firing sheep from a pitchfork and calling it an Uzi. Because immersion is lame amirite?

 
Roland, I understand what you are saying.
However sometimes what we perceive is very different from the situation that you describe.

TFP sometimes do things that may appear to some as if they are unprofessional, or not very careful with their design process.

Things like:

  • Announcing features for a specific alpha that later are postponed
  • Talk about features in a way that makes you think they are official but then they are dropped
  • Implement things that later are discarded
  • Implement things that later are completely redesigned


Even considering that during development some trial and erroray may occur, this might seem a bit to much for some.

Furthermore "not giving dates" may seem like a symptom of inability to make accurate estimates on your work, or, even worse, a symptom of not having a detailed plan for your work.

That sounds like all the normal stuff that goes on internally at a game company, that the customer never sees. In early access you get to see some of that process, which may annoy some, but that is the process.

Are you striving for normal? Or excellence? ;)

If this game existed I would play the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. I wouldn't call it an Uzi, I'd call it my angry mob baaaaaa launcher

LOL!!!

Immersion doesnt exist. Its a video game where u sit on your fat arse in a chair pounding on a keyboard and mouse to slay zombies and build skyscrapers.

That being said, its a DAMM good video game, there is just 0 immersion, like any other game.

 
You’re playing an unfinished game. The zombies are going to pop out of existence for 17.0 for sure. So prepare yourself to deal with it. :)

Just because you are incapable of immersion in a video game don't assume the rest of us are so limited.

I'm shocked Roland hasn't moved that post to it's own locked thread. Both for the troll value of moving it and lock it down for posterity so the stupidity of the comment can be seen by all future forum members.
