    Concidering that they will have to estimate completion for everything they update on the road map, write a new description for said things and update the progress and work-distribution graphics I would say that the ammount of work requiered for a roadmap update is equal or greater to that of a small, daily trickle of text and screenshots like we are seeing now.

    I really love the updates, plus i feel like the devs are showing us that the major coding parts are done and they can add great stuff with little work

    Then I was merely elaborating on what little ground that hypothetical position stands on.

    Also, this creates plenty of activity for a small subset of the population of potential customers, the daily forumgoers. The daily updates are nice, but you won't likely be talking to anybody about a specific one. "Hey guys, did you hear that Starbound just made 350 different items descriptions?" Doesn't exactly grab you. Press won't talk about them, because, fuck, there is nothing substantial enough to write an article on. It doesn't create buzz. It only serves to feed the hype monster. You want happy and interested masses? You do regular updates of substantial pieces of information. There is simply no magic to these micro updates, no wonder. That needs to be grabbed for marketing.

    you are right that doesn't add much, it does show what they are doing and why it takes time, the crafting menu's were asked after a lot. Also 1 month without any official news did much worse than we made 350 descriptions. At least the official updates and screen shots add more than the random livestream were getting or missing because very few were announced and even less were posted somewhere on the interwebs. The look of the crafting windows adds something for me.

    If the choice is between nothing and this, i clearly and most definitively choose this. But like i stated before, i would be content, happy even, with a weekly highlight as in "this is what we did" + a few screen shots and a scheduled regular update of the roadmap. Thing is that if you don't want the daily news you can skip it and dont look at it, while if nothing was shown the choice wouldn't be there

    Finally the not giving out any news, was starting to generate a negative buzz, at least here on the forums, and i know i talk to friends who havent pre-ordered the game and at that time i wasnt saying much good about it, in fact i was mainly talking about the lack of communication. Look at a general kickstarter campaign and even after the campaign how much info is shared, and than compare it to what was shared right after the pre-orders started, because as you stated earlier that is the same process.

    I love them, they give a sense of progress making the wait much less painful :D on the other hand if they slows down the development I would find perfectly normal and acceptable a small update once a week or two.

    I love that we are getting them, but agree 100% with Tojo that it really shouldn't have happened. The people that dropped 1 or 2k into the game did so by CHOICE, Chucklefish didn't make them do it. And those people are being rewarded with the ability to add various content to the game, and become a part of it indefinitely. That was their reward for donating 1k, not pressuring the devs into something they may have trouble keeping up commitment wise.

    I can't help but wonder how long it takes Tiy or someone to draft up the daily update each day...

    I think the only way you could hate these updated is if you seriously hated spoilers!
    But I rather enjoy spoilers :megusta:
