PC When will the game be released?

[rngchiefbob]

i liked being part of the development of the alpha(though i dident say much) felt like players helped shape and improve that game with this new way of releasing stuff seems like we were cut out of it idk makes me have less hype and less to look forward too i guess.

It has been mentioned that the change to format of this thread is intentional. MadMole will only talk about features definitely in A17 and there will be a lot less speculation to avoid the inevitable backlash that comes from unmet expectations.

Roland also has committed to making relevant A17 discussion easily accessible so we won’t have to sift through pages of fluff.

lol in which century do you want the game released. TFP have stated many times they arent gonna do small updates. And A16 was worth the wait. As well it was not way to long. it could a been longer and have more stuff added would a been better

Actually just the opposite. MM said A17 was planned to be a much shorter cycle than A16 was.

I hope we start to see more of what's being worked on with this game. I thought one of the nice things about this game was seeing early development. And giving feedback and getting excited about what the pimps were working on. I really hope with the team expanding we see quicker more polished builds. I know madmole has mentioned there were other projects him and his team want to work on. I just hope they all don't burn out before this game is done. I love this game but I really hope it picks up the pace and make it out of alpha and beta and into a full, polished game

+1 to that except they can take their time to me just like seeing what they're thinking and what they are working on feels like i'm a part of this game not just an observer part of what made it one of the best games i've played

You missed the point lol. They really need to add more stuff. More game interest. Ai will help and hopefully bandits and survivors and colanies will be a part of a17. But they have fixed some outdated mechanics this making adding stuff easier and faster so when mm says it be a shorter cycle i say he means it is easier to add the stuff so they can add it quicker

I agree. I dont like this way lol feels like we are being cut out and missing the feeling of involvement. But yes I don't care how long they take either. A year i be happy with. 1.5 yrs as well. The longer the more stuff we get. The better mechanics. Better modding abilities. Etc etc.

yes we should have a official dev diary for dev's and moderators to post in and a thread for everyone else to comment on those things in. rather then one thread that's a jumble of everyone posting.

Now there's an idea!

I second this!

 

[beerfly]

Yes its because we are not given any information and everyone speculates with new and new ideas. Its like a small talk between the classes in school. Lets wait till we have the list with what is going to happen. Then will be much better.

 

[ZombieToad]

I am just wondering, what on earth is the point in this thread? It says Alpha 17 Developer Diary but thusfar we have seen no notice of what's coming.

I don't get it. How can they say they won't talk about things when they don't know if those things will make it in or not, and yet they don't even mention when A17 will be released? Doesn't that mean they can just discuss some things that they can be more sure will make it in, since there isn't even a release date, and just ensure those things are done before A17 is up for download?

All I see this thread as, is sort of a cage where all the players have been thrown to growl and spit at each other in what is so far 35 pages of garbage, *some* decent suggestions, and otherwise pure speculation.

 

[Ouch Quit It]

Everybody complaining about the lack of details and communication...dont you understand that this new forum is in ALPHA...geez ....dev posts don't come until BETA testing.

When will they ever learn!!

IHR 2017/18

Hey MadMole, how about releasing a new video???

 

[Tin]

Here are some official images from A17 that Madmole posted on his twitter feed. I'm reposting them here since they are A17 related and I will place a link in the OP so that people will see how this thread will work going forward:
Here is a new wallpaper that Joel created for A17.

Here is the model for a new trader going into A17.

Just a question: Why are we getting info from Joel's Twitter feed when you'd think the "Official" TFP Forums would get this info at the same time? As the trader images have been on his twitter for awhile already.

Srry, just getting a little tired of getting info from multiple different source areas, TFP Forums/Twitter/FB/ etc,. Thank god they aren't using more lol

 

[Roland]

No idea.

 

[Tin]

No idea.

Is this the part we're supposed to "I Blame Roland!" just because xD

Well considering I don't "twit" unless there is no "w" I won't get to share in this stream of knowledge without Roland's help.

Well I would think the "Official" TFP forum would(should?!) have all the relevant info. And... >.> I would definitely prefer the no "w" version as well >.>

 

[Death2gnomes]

No idea.

Spoken like someone with Alz..what?

 

[Last-I]

Always thought Twitter was a dating channel for pregnant goldfish...

 

[The Gronk]

I understand the desire, if not the necessity, of using many different media channels to get word out. That being said... you'd think someone would make a locked post to show the artwork in a single, easy to view, place instead of having an Easter-egg hunt across the great data gathering mogul's of the internet.
