The Roadmap

If you're talking about the twitter bot, it's a false alarm. It's listed 3 or 4 bunches of updates since the last actual one.

 

"WILL BE UPDATED MONTHLY

LAST UPDATED : JUNE 4, 2013"​

September 16th... Nothing yet.

 

How do you see when the latest update was?

 

That was quoted from page one of this thread.

 

I see...thx Doesn't hurt to read page 1 once in a while I guess...

 

Heh, no worries.

 

17th, anything? around 14th should be over now.

see Mollygos' post that she left today. It might shed some light onto the subject of "wtf are the dev's even doing?"

Edit: Actually, here's the relevant text: Mollygos: "I'm also planning on updating the Roadmap this week. Y'know how I was talking about how developing Starbound is difficult/weird because it's a lot of problem-solving, balancing and implementing rather than tangible "okay, we put these assets in the game today" or "we put this many lines of code in today"? That's kind of what makes it difficult to update the Roadmap with accurate percentages."

 

​

Sorry, but that honestly made me grin. Hadn't seen it yet.

 

Sorry to reiterate this, but this thread has every question answered. I suggest going there before commenting on the status of the roadmap, again.

roadmap will be updated by the end of the week.
Relax have a beer/soda.

 

roademap is not so important anymore as you can get a small amout of info from it
but does it matter as you know you wil be playing beta in somewhere in those 3 months to come?

 

People are addicted to bar filling. Look at games with experience points or quests. Gotta get that bar filled.

 

Scrap the Roadmap completely, in my opinion. I'd much rather see the developer to-do list than have bars to look at.
Thus allowing them to reference the to-do list in daily updates, instead of just saying "x worked on y" and the like. This way delays can actually be contributed to specific features instead of going "well, starbound development is screwy and weird!"

Spoilers is also the worst excuse to use. If it's not endgame content or something that's meant to be a secret or something, it's not a spoiler.

 

I beg to differ. I don't want to see absolutely everything in this game before I've played it. I want to be surprised by some of the items and weapons I find. I want to discover the resources available for myself rather than knowing what's there before I start. In short, I want to experience the game for the first time through playing it rather than reading about it.

Merely being on these forums and reading the updates gives us some information, but I'm trusting the devs that they don't want to spoil everything, and that the things they show are dwarfed by the things they don't show. As soon as there is any chance that all info will be spilled, I'm not going to be hanging around on this forum - particularly at the release of the beta, I'll be avoiding the forum, because I know that regardless of how many reminders there are for people to avoid spoilers, some people can't seem to help themselves.

 

Well, it was updated.

Most changes fall under the Quest/NPC section.

 

Items > Melee Weapon Generation: 80% -> 90%
User Interface > Inventory: 90% -> 100%
User Interface > Chat: 90% -> 100%
Creature Generation > Fish: 70% -> 80%
Creature Generation > Humanoids: 30% -> 50%
Creature Generation > Pregenerated NPCs: 50% -> 80%
Creature Generation > Behavior Scripts: 70% -> 80%
Creature Generation > Enemy Projectiles: 70% -> 80%
Quests & Missions > Interact with NPCs: 20% -> 60%
Quests & Missions > Quest Management UI: 40% -> 90%
Quests & Missions > Quest Generation: 10% -> 50%
Universe Generation > Mini Biomes: 60% -> 80%

I think that's everything.

 

Am i the only one who's noticed that in the thread about the release date has changed to 9/19/2013

 

4 months spent on nothing. Nice stuff.

 

They update it and you guys still are not satisfied. They have been working on internal programming, bug fixes, polishing, etc. it's extremely hard to put a % of completion on everything. Just go do something till they release the beta.
