[2019] The dev's plan for slow rolling out the maps killed the excitement for the patch.

Original Post — Direct link

The whole not telling anyone anything, splitting everything up into smaller patches, uploading them on random days, and giving us no time frame is killing the momentum for this patch.

Maps soon, maps soon, maps soon, maps, soon..

JUST SAY WHEN FFS. You know why Rust is still one of the most popular indie games on the market? Because they are extremely transparent about their updates, you know what is coming and EXACTLY when it's going to hit. If they are adding something you are looking forward to, you don't have to check back every day like with this game... you know when to be there.

If you think this whole c*ck tease sh*t you guys got going on is making people more excited you are wrong.

We would tell you when the patches were dropping if we knew ourselves. Things are done when they are ready, not when we hit specific deadlines.

Downvoted! Jk. Their communication sucks and they don't seem to have any check on things even amongst themselves. Probably partly a result a of working remotely.

What do you want communication wise? We put out snippets of what we're working on, and give some timeframes where possible. Since we all work remotely it's tough to organize things and share everything that we're doing internally, which means it's tough to do inform the players on what/when to expect new things.

That being said, there's definitely room for improvement and I'm all ears on what you and others would like to see.

For example whenever you have some information you could make a post about it, and not a comment in some obscure thread many will not see. Maybe a dedicated forum thread where you can share information that maybe not require their own thread. The information also seems scattered between the forums, discord and Reddit. Even if you don't have anything new to share it is reaffirming if you just give a small life sign that you are still working on it.

We do most small updates on discord, under the development snippets section. I'm working on consolidating info so it's easier for people to hear about new stuff, thanks for the feedback!

I get it, and also I don't get it because I'm not a game developer. So I dunno how much you could estimate when something will be ready to go. Just seems people are going to be burnt out on all these little patches by the time the one with the maps shows up.

I get you guys probably want to release stuff as soon as it's ready because people have been impatiently waiting but...so what. People are always impatiently waiting for something. If they are impatiently waiting for your patch that just means people will be more excited when it finally hits. If you have absolutely no clue when something will be done then maybe wait until it's ready and just set a release date for one or two weeks later. Just enough for the buzz to build.

It's kind of a lose-lose situation, but imo it's better to get small patches with Invasion, gameplay fixes etc out when we can. There's no 'right answer' to be honest.
