Well, it's a bit technical, but I'll try to explain.
The game contains lots and lots of pixels, and these take a long time to produce because each pixel is the result of careful breeding between a pixie and an eel. That in itself is a difficulty, because the pixies show up to the dates with flowers and the eels just eat the flowers. But eventually the devs get enough pixel-eel babies (or "pixels" to use the technical term) that they can arrange them into what are known in the games industry as textures. These are large square sheets of cloth with a thin coating of cow dung spread on them. The coating makes the cloth sticky, and these textile manures (or "textures") can then be used to stick the pixels in place.

Of course, this has to be done by hand - and the pixels for each texture have to be carefully selected for color. When doing so, you also have to make sure that you don't put two aggressive pixels on the same texture in case they start fighting for dominance. Instead you have to choose dominant pixels that complement each other and work togethe to keep the texture in harmony. This is known in the trade as "alpha blending" the pixels.

With so many new textures in the game, you can see why this is taking so long.

Maybe their (millennials, boomers, deaders (the 7D2D zombie players), whatever) expectations are higher cuz they have the new NVidia drivers with pixel relationship-building AI in them. (Wouldn't that be a ad slogan? Our drivers allow you to play 7D2D at 60+ FPS no matter what your CPU stats are... Although it may be a little expensive.)

Yeah, seriously, lol. And most of the people complaining are probably actually Gen Z. Millennials actually ended early to mid 90s (most saying early 90s ended it, like '93 or '94. Wikipedia says early 2000s, but I've yet to find an actual study that puts early 2000s in Millenials.). But yeah, it's all about maturity, not age. I know quite a few people I would love to beat some sense into that's older than me by a lot x.x

The nineties was Generation X. I know, I was there. Wikipedia is wrong. The term millennial was never even used before the year 2000.

 
Weird right? But then again, comming from a guy who will tell all his friends how bad the game is and to him the game is dead, but still is moaning and whining for the next release. Makes...no...sense...at...all. Guess Sylen has a point. Millenials, strange generation.
Cheers

Millennials include people born roughly between the years of 1975 and 1995. The youngest millennial today would be 22. The oldest would be 43. There is a very high probability this age range includes you and many others who complain about Millennials.

That depends on who you ask. Yes, I do see the irony of saying wiki is wrong and then posting a link to wiki. We never used the term millennial in the UK.

Lol, I didn't get my info from Wikipedia, which is why I said it was wrong with the early 2000s. It was called Generation Y, Echo Boomers, or Millenials, which was years '75ish to '95ish. Gen X was '65is to '75ish, ended waaaaaay before the '90s.

I meant going through late adolescence during the nineties. The age when most people develop a sense of individual identity.

Ah, that'd make sense. Yeah, 90s would be that then, but as generation identity goes, it's birth, not late adolescence. And dear lord, that would be even more confusing to me since I know people more mature in their teens than their 40s. That would be all kinds of confusing, hahaha.

 
My bad.Anyway, not sure why you're posting this link, though. It doesn't disprove anything about the date ranges I provided for Millennials. So my point still stands.

So your link to a search results page is valid and mine isn't? Okay...

That is just so...wrong. There was a great deal of talk about Gen X in the 90s because that's when the bulk of them were out of high school and making their mark on the world or waxing nostalgically already about 80s movies and culture. Gen X was long over by the 90s, roughly the mid 60s to 1980.

Generations are often nicknamed around the time they were born or when the graduate high school. Hence the 'boomers' are those born in the mid 40s to mid 60s after WWII. 'Millennials' got tagged onto Generation Y(born 1980-2000) in the 90s as the year 2000 approached.

I get tired of your near-constant digs against the length of this development cycle....but that was a good one! :p

(Edit: Hell, I get tired of a lot of the repetitive posts on here.)
