Console Telltale Layoffs

Clare is amazing. I've been playing for about a year and a half. A while back I had issues where Clare have gave me good insight on the game and things I could try to work around certain issues with md5 when that was happening on Xbox. I hope she has the best of luck and any company would be happy to have her.

 
Info on updates

We are deeply saddened by the news of the Telltale layoffs. Our hearts go out to our friends and partners over there. Rest assured The Fun Pimps are committed to the future of the 7 Days to Die Franchise and will continue to update and support 7 Days on every platform we can. As more information becomes available TFP will be issuing statements.

I understand that things take time but is Xbox getting an update if so is there a rough time frame as people who bought it for console believed they were getting the same game as the PC instead got a game with one fourth of the content, And game bugs that wipe hours worth of game play making it pointless. Previous comments calm the nerves but their seems to be a lacking in communication when it comes to details.

The console version will always be behind the PC version; that's always been the case and is only to be expected since they develop it over there and port to console once they are happy with it (and if the console can handle it). As for the update, that depends on how long it takes to sort out the rights following Telltale' closure - there has been no time scale offered as yet, but one week ago, the following was posted by The Fun Pimps - you can see the post here: (it's about half way down the page) https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?87502-Telltale-Layoffs/page10

Folks nobody is abandoning the console development. We are working to either finish it as planned or peacefully bring the rights back home and resume the porting of A16 which significant work has been invested. We want to keep it going A16, A17 and beyond. We are only being cautious about releasing statements until things are 100% settled.

While the p.c community over here to give us information as if they were devs workin for the fun pimps. They stat all this b.s about publishing rights , that we got a complete game that we are lucky to get anything extra (which btw is incorrect), who works on the porting the game to console, ect. ect. and they state it as if it were fact. Meanwhile the real devs set back and make jokes, i never seen a company that divides there player base like the fun pimps. The P.C community is constantly given information on whats goin on , i see them on the forums daily communicating with its player base. Meanwhile the console players are left in the dark, hell clare gave us 2 meaningful statements all year ! Wow , they could tell us something i think thats pretty obvious, but something that is Blantyre obvious. They dont give a damn about the console community , we paid for the game same as p.c , so you guys should treat your customers/fanbase of all platforms equally!

 
You guys really need to reach out beyond your forums. This is silly. This could be tweeted, published to steam in seconds. I've posted more on twitter taking a dump then you guys do in 6 months.
sorry to be critical, but expecting your audience to come to forums to get news in threads and threads of information just doesn't do it anymore.

you guys have a game with a cult following, it's your responsibility now.

Perfect example , most everyone see's this as an issue and have for a very long time. Joel could get twice the viewers on his new ''youtube career'' , just by given us alittle info when he makes his video's. Instead he chooses to act like we dont exist and has no appreciation for what we contributed in sales ! Yet were supposed to be happy when get information of any kind around twice a year.

 
Wow

You know I'm glad someone finally had the b*lls to say it. You're right, regardless of how they're gonna attack us and put us down for saying it we still are entitled to our opinions and have good reasons for it. 😏 Whether they want to admit it or not we have been unfairly left in the dark about updates, progress, news, etc. I honestly lost hope for this game a year ago after I bought it and noticed how little attention we got. 😞

When I first tried to complain their excuse for the lack of content and development was because "they only added things that were finished to the port." At that same moment when I read that reply on my phone, I looked up to a glitched zombie dog on my screen just spinning in circles like if it was chasing its own tail or something.

In my opinion with such little things added on every update I feel like they had one, maybe two devs working on the port. Now keep in mind they're PORTING content over, not developing it from scratch. Those of you who have knowledge on game development understand the difference. 🙃

I don't like sounding like a total a** and I know people here will hate me for it but I truly believe that the way things are going right now, TFP will want to finish developement on PC. MAYBE decently finishing the ports then move on to another project while distancing from what happened with TT. If we still get the ports updated then we're still looking at years in the future, not anytime soon. Of course this will depend on how hard this hits when the rights get sorted out. For those who will come to attack me on this I'll simply point out that the last time I truly sat down to read what had been happening was back in June of 2017. The last time anything new was added into the game. We're in October of 2018. 😟

1. I play on the PS4 also. I do not have an xbox. Never will. This is primarily due to Microsoft's lackluster quality control, and secondarily due the fact that more/better games release on PlayStation than on Xbox.

2. You are lucky to get any extras added on after the initial Console release. It was sold as a finished product. Finished means complete. Anything added after is a bonus or DLC. This is a simple fact.

3. Divided how? You're right here on the exact same forum as the PC game with the PC Developers. Do you know why this is? Because Telltale didn't want to support it on their site. (And if they had, then you would have a point for the keeping the console crowd separated from the PC peeps.)

4. The information given to the PC user base by the developer is the choice of the developer. In this case it is the Fun Pimps.

The information given to the Console player is the same way. In this case it is Iron Galaxy, and not TFP.

So really, you can only blame Telltale and Iron Galaxy in this regard. (Hell, you could even argue that if the console forum was separated to their hosting, that maybe you guys would have more information.)

5. I agree with you completely on the console players being left in the dark. I have tried several mediums and begged to get more information for you guys. I've even attempted to get some of the source so I can do internal testing and even work towards increasing the multiplayer capabilities of the systems. I was denied.

6. You didn't pay for the same game. You paid for a console port of a stable Alpha release. The console hardware cannot even handle the current state of the PC game due to it's hardware limitations. I was very hopeful that the upgrade to Unity 2017 on the console port would allow you guys to catch up to the PC a hell of a lot more thanks to much better optimization. My thoughts on this were recently confirmed by one of the TFP developers.

So assuming they are able to sort out the licensing on the console ports, you guys should be seeing a large amount of a16 content in the next update.

7. The Fun Pimps have clearly stated that they have a vested interest in continuing to support all of the platforms. That means the console versions as well. As soon as they have information to give in this regard, I am certain they will tell you. They have been pretty open with information when it is available. We just need to be patient while the lawyers duke it out.

Honestly couldn't of said it better. Some of us have this game on console and PC so yes some of us are jumping in both sections of the same forums. I speak my thoughts and my opinions based from a player on both sides. SylenThunder does the same but also as a mod of the forums that has more insight on things then most.

Not sure how one agrees that they should reach out past the forums when they do and did reach out past the forums. Before all this went down with TT it wasn't TFP place to reach out for console it was TT. So before all this stuff happened I would agree that better communication would of been nice. After all this stuff gets sorted out I hope some better communication comes out of it but as of right now as we stand I doubt we will based on they have to be extremely careful with what they say. So give it some time.

Like SylenThunder said the console version was sold as a finished game. That information is in a sticky topic somewhere sorry I forget what one. So it isn't people just talking BS it is a fact. Find it go and read about it, it is a good paragraph or so long explaining it.

But anyway some of us have just as much say so to talk within the community as anyone else we bought the game just like others did. I can say I enjoy the game just as much on one as I do the other. I don't recall ever having less fun playing one over the other. I can say I have it on ps4 and not Xbox like SylenThunder but I can't say I would never own a Xbox because I do granted I haven't turned it on in forever but that is besides the point. I do like playing some games on it that not on ps4 but anyway again besides the point. Just sayin just because we have a PC and all don't mean we don't have consoles as well. I personally enjoy playing games in general I don't care what they play on. Hardly any gaming system I don't own. So feel some of us have just as much say so as the other.

 
Thank you everyone for your concern. I'm back as a regular player, hoping with the rest of you that this bump in the road for 7DTD is a small one and that we hear something about progress soon.
I won't comment on everything I've missed - I can't in a lot of cases anywho, I'm as out of the loop as everyone else. But this...

I'm truly Pi--ed at TT and my Gut feeling. Thx Clare for being the ONLY ONE WHO GAVE A F!!K ABOUT CONSOLE AND IT'S PLAYERS. Yes I used all caps so," don't like it too bad ".

...is extremely untrue. I care, yes, but so did everyone else who worked on this project. I'm not trying to single you out Unequaled, I know this is a sentiment a lot may feel, and I want to make a point that EVERYONE who worked on this game worked hard and cared about the work they did.

I'd also like to point out that I have an indifference to regular giraffes, but abhor the idea of Zombie giraffes... there's a doodle of it somewhere on the forums. Just want to set the record straight on that ;)

Never said it was True Clare,learn the different between a RANT and FACT. Hard work may have taken place,but the end result doesn't show on my end (Xbox Version). With that said everyone should know what I'm speaking of,yeah I know about the work around believe it are not I have 2000hrs put in.Anyway when I show genuine concern it gets thrown back into my face, rather than been given a chance to make a correction are recant a statement they've made, they are single out even if it's not intended. Me Volunteering MY Concern for an Individual I'm done with I could careless about you are any of you. Edited Version.Main Statement Page 8.

This is my Response to the PC Crowd both Claire and Clare is pronounced the same.Everyone trying one up someone yes even me,the Thread is Dead it's extremely off topic.
