PC When will A17 Experimental be released 4?

[Liesel Weppen]

Developers should tell a date, when they plan to release or at least when to put A17 on experimental. Not an absolute deadline, but just what they expect. I'm so ♥♥♥♥ing anoyed of having no information at all (and have a single post with such information burried in a thread with 3000 offtopic-answers is just "no information").

From current information state, which is basically none at all (at least if someone did not spend 5 hours of reading the dev-threads), i guess for January 2054?

My friend, you might enjoy this thread, because you're clearly unaware of it: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?87756-The-Official-A17-Developer-s-Diary-for-Developers

As for the date, hell no. I don't want to read another hundreds of pages of angry people berating devs because they did not meet their estimated date. It's happened when they've given month estimates, imagine what would happen if they gave a specific date estimate. I'm not a masochist. Also, it would do you good to drop the vitriolic sarcasm. You might end up getting heartburn.

an absolute deadline

Unfortunately, these two things are indistinguishable to enough people that it would do more harm than good.

That's the date the min/maxers will have grinded through A17 at max speed and be moaning for A18...

Take a read at this.

Steamworks Early Access Documentation for Developers

[h=2]Rules[/h]2. Do not make specific promises about future events. For example, there is no way you can know exactly when the game will be finished, that the game will be finished, or that planned future additions will definitely happen. Do not ask your customers to bet on the future of your game. Customers should be buying your game based on its current state, not on promises of a future that may or may not be realized.

Ark is a great example of that right there for they're dlc's.

Yay.... so ..... is that ..... good?

Better than build 168 not as good a build 170.

A release for Christmas shoppers does sound like it's the plan after all. Logical, but not a happy thought.

I mean all he has has to say is this year or next and will stop asking.

No surprise if you make a build #&(%#.

Good. So TFP read the Steam guidelines on EA products? Since the estimations regarding the release dates of the past 4-5 alphas have been horrendous.. good to see they're learning.

Ps. 17 months development time for a17. Coincidence? I think not!

I don't get it. Wasn't it down to them just updating the graphics due to engine upgrade?

I got the impression that was the only thing holding it back.

Updating the engine for such a large project can be a nightmare even with version control.

They said the engine upgrade did not delay much or at all because it depended on people who had time for it anyway. At the moment the RWG mixer seems to be not in a state they are satisfied with. And until recently they were still working on the new perks (and probably still are fixing minor bugs there).

It really doesn't matter why this took so long. Any delay also means more features, balancing and/or more polish. If there were unexpected problems we could not have helped. We are only observers.

Woah, how did we get from predictions pointing at Halloween to predictions pointing at Christmas?

You know he didn't make that build... It's your fault. Especially the errors related to object references.
