[2020] 7 years of alpha and still nothing ?

People have been bringing up "too long in Alpha" ever since 2015 when it hit its 2-year anniversary in Early Access. All the accusations of "dishonest devs" "lazy devs" "incompetent devs" "uncaring devs" "disorganized devs" etc etc etc were all made way back then and it turns out we were barely into it. Here we are now an additional five years beyond that time and the same exact pointless dialogues are happening.

Obviously, all of this talk about nothing has zero effect on how quickly or slowly the game is developed. "It's done when it's done!" is the only answer TFP has for those who wonder when it will be over. The journey is a ride that you either enjoy or don't. If the destination is all you care about then wait for it.

Originally posted by Nimbull: I wouldn't say nothing myself. I've kept myself occupied pretty nicely with the game. That said, Alpha 18 has been the least played version for me because the terrain seem locked to a specific pattern and I can't get it as random as I used to like in Alpha 16 and such. Gets kind of old playing in remakes of the pre-fab map that's slightly random but not completely.

Have you tried Nitrogen to generate maps instead? A lot of users swear by it.
