Of course I'll choose the steak tomorrow.
I wouldn't take L&P's lack of a comment as proof of anything. The guy hates explaining himself to anyone, even if it would help him. Some of that is the language barrier, and the rest is stubbornness. Personally, I've always assumed that when he talked about "translation" he means that to include localization, so I'm not shocked when it takes time. Does it make sense why it takes so much time? No. But throwing everything into an online translator would cause different problems. One of the things I like best about this game is the lack of Engrish. And while it hasn't always been perfect, I would be very frustrated to see the script devolve into a mess of syntax and grammatical errors.
My view on oil is, the sooner we use it up, the sooner it will cease to be a problem.The earth has endless oil and the United States has endless money to print
And don't you think there's a subtle middle ground between better and quicker that L&P needs to embrace quickly if he ever wants to complete this project?
It's about 1/3 done. He has been working on it for about 4.5 years. At current pace it is 9 years until completion not 40.
Game development is not a sprint. It is a marathon.
Personally, for more than 4 years following this game and with all the attitudes that L&P has shown, my doubts go far beyond the simple lack of communication or stubbornness. I think of much less innocent things.
It's funny! This game is really stuck between these two extreme alternatives. Last 40 years or produce a shit game? Each of the two is worse than the other.
I see L&P hired a new PR guy on this forum
Depends on the steak vice the burger. I don't need Lord Salisbury's steak or a round steak if I can get a 1 pound Angus beef burger perfectly cooked. Granted A New York Strip or Filet Mignon is preferable. But in my mind, he is bringing anything he cooks in 'Well Done', if we are lucky. Yuck! Medium rare FTW.
the same defense as sabertooth you are both one and the same.
Your mathematics are faulty. At current rate we are looking at 1 PD per 2.5 years +. Times 18 PDs and the result is 45 years. If he can get production to 3- 4 PDs per year then we are going to see the possibility of completion. Yeah, ain't holding my breath. He has never reduced his PD rate.
Your reasoning is off. You don't take into account that the development has slowed down. According to the last year of dev, with 1 PD per year (being really optimistic) and 17 PD remaining, it would take 17 more years at this rate. Some PD could be shorter but it would be disappointing
Any number of things can speed up or slow down production. Nobody has a crystal ball that will see what will happen.
Sure but the trend has been to be slowing down and never went faster. Splitting PD in 10 parts seems to slow it down even more.
Statement of the year right there. lol...
Considering I don't play Aiden's tasks, I'm only expecting about 6 renders of playable content this update. So for me, yeah, not worth downloading, just to see Sophia enter the classroom, a render or two teaching the literature lesson, then her leaving. Maybe a couple of renders of a phone call for the Morello event.
The thing is that in these 4,5 years AWAM NEVER speeded up, it only became slower and slower. Your 9 years estimate is way off. With the speed of last year it would still take around 18 years to complete, but that was last year. With the current speed we are looking towards an unsustainable 40-50 years. While I am not that old, I cannot be sure to still be here in 40 or fifty years.
