Game Development: Project Mayhem

[Scilly_guy]

Time until all faith lost in Jorbtar (13hrs 30 minutes), alchemy pack and an impressive terraforming tool are required to prevent this.

Could you list what kinds of lets say meat cuts are better to use ? I mean is it better to use beaver cuts or deer cuts?

[Potjeh]

You guys expect them to work on Sunday?

Maybe we'll have one big update next Thursday.

Roughly, it comes down to monster strength: rabbit < snake < turkey < beaver < deer < bear. It does vary a bit between the humours they give for glutton.

Maybe we'll have one big update next Thursday.

one can only hope

Given that we've been waiting for an alchemy pack two weeks now, I've come to attach special meaning to

later this week

[thl111]

Maybe where they live, a week has 30 days .

[Scilly_guy]

Seriously though, if you say "later this week" on a thursday then you have until sunday at the latest. If its not going to be ready for another week then say "Sorry no update this week." Don't think it sounds good to hand out false promises.

Guys, give them a break. They very clearly don't know what they're doing and if you believe otherwise then I've got a bridge to sell you.

That's not fair.
They clearly aren't the most professional devs, but they do the best they can. I don't know whether they actually have other people helping them, but a lot of the work is clearly done by the two of them. It might as well be two guys and a dog doing the coding and all. They do a good job all considered. I think the worst you could accuse them of is overselling things a little bit, but that's typical in big commercial stuff. And this game is. It's the smallest kind of commercial project you can get in the smallest kind of game company that's still in the "big boy corporation" league. They want an impressive pitch and nice trailers and all that jazz.

They are pitching a game that is yet to be. It is unfortunate that they must do this, but it's true. We know what the game is like now, and to their credit, it's getting more like what they are pitching every week. They missed once. That's a good track record really.

They know what they are doing, they just don't have the most resources to do it. And even bigger teams often end up later than they intended, or release something early that's totally ***** and takes them months to fix. Look at Team Fortress 2. They do a LOT of ***** updates that are clearly, in practice, not what they intended, and they have an actual set up to alpha and beta test changes to the game before it goes live on the "real" game. And Valve is HUGE compared to Team SeaTribe.
