The Roadmap

Say wut?

 

He's possibly raging at the infrequency of Roadmap updates?

I feel the Roadmap only has two more updates (assuming they do it monthly) before it's about where they want it.

 

If i take the daily news as a indicator (haha! ) i think we would have no more roadmapupdate before a betastart. I mean we dont need Intro´s for beta, there is no story planned for the beta. And they can only do so mutch bugfixing without a bigger audiance and hardware-mixes the people got to find additional bugs.

Joke aside. I try to beat my hopes down again with a big club, because a implement of directX and tons of bug fixing are no indicator at all if they still add objects to the world that has to be tested again, fixed again, etc... it´s becomming a endless loop from my feeling... every week a ton of new stuff, another round of fixing, another round of smothering and then it starts all over... *sigh* 33 C° in the shadow reduces my willpower to a litte ash heap.

Don´t get me wrong. I like stuff! I like tons of it... but it feels always as if it´s changes on the run they do, stretching their own "goals" for a beta more and more in the future... i wonder what will be left for any updates in the future >.<

What happend btw. to the mechs? They adding a ton of stuff atm but i didnt hear anymore from their status about mech-implamantation....

 

No story? research more about the game?

 

No, i meant they didn´t planned the storypart for the beta, from Tiy´s last statement in 2012 about the beta. Sorry for the missunderstanding. ^^

Ofc the finish version got a story, but it wasn´t planned to play it in the beta at all. As far as we know.

Edit: Don´t forget my brain is goin to boil today, 35 C° isn´t really fun.... and corrected in the original statement, but still no way closer for a solution.

 

Very helpful! Thank you!

 

I hope theres an opt out of the story portion button(along with an option to skip the starting cutscenes)

 

Hahaaahahah!!! That's how I feel replies that state anything but the answer I was looking for regarding the "Elusive" Roadmap. Great post by the OP. Thanks. Also the tracker app hopefully will help keep people at ease.

 

If you average every percentage from every category on the road map...the overall game is 75.25% complete!!!!

 

O.K. and what's the rate of change? Percentages is nothing but a tactic in the investment and/or financial world. You can have 75% out of 1, or 75% out of 100.
In other words are we looking at 2 days or another year before 75.25% become %75.26%? This is not a poke at you, just that people (like me) are looking for something predictable.

 

In fact it's not.
At the roadmap every Part of the game is as big as the others. But some things needs a lot of more work, like the networking stuff. And if you look there you can see that there is much to do.
So you can calculate that the game is definitly not 75% finished. max 60% in my opinion.

 

I know? I've played that game for 50+ hours and never thought to do that. As soon as I get off work, I'm going to grapple-ride a fuel tank!

 

Lol, almost the first thing I tried while playing the demo.

 

I gave it up to judge the game by the daily updates or the roadmap. It looks nice, but both features (Roadmap and daily news) give us excatly 0 information about the thing that half of the community wanna know allready. The evil word! The devolopers changes to mutch on the run while they devolope. There is no exact plan or way to know how far they are really. Yes it is a good game from the way it looks, i even preorderd it (Like everybody else). And no, to know it will come out 2013 and not even to have a confirmed 3 month window is really annoying for many people (myself included). The phrase "soon" or "when it´s done" won´t work anymore. It worked when you had your money save thanks to a publisher and no obligation to the costumers. Now costumers becommin more and more investors.

One positiv thing for sure (So you can´t say i am only all negativ )! At least they dont offer their beta acess to a higher price then the release version like other community funded projects! For that a big thank you not to board a train to nowhere like others did it.

No but seriously Molly is still working on that cake.

 

Well, % at Roadmap are still the same. Nothing has changed since 4th june update, or am I blind?

 

The "StarRoadTracker" seems to have a glitch that repeats the update that happened on the 4th, it did the same thing like two weeks ago, and now yesterday.

 

Well some dude from starboundhq.pl forum did some calculations:
- 69,8% done things 3rd april,
- 74,5% done 4th june.
My calculations:
- 78,13% done today (26th june)... maybe I did something wrong
