And now you know why we started giving them in the first place; for the first few years, we didn't, but yeah having tried it, never doing it again. Lesson definitely learned.
99 times out of 100, they're able to give accurate estimations because whatever isn't in by that date doesn't get in, and that's how you end up with so many shoddy games.
i would be wish someone add full version of game with open gallery, release will take forever it's seems
All the levels are connected together on our internal build, but not on any public or backer demos.
Yeah, I don't get it either, but for some reason some people think the game's been complete or something and we're just sitting on it, is my best guess (despite tangible proof it's not complete yet on livestreams etc.)
I mean, it can't take "forever" because I don't have infinite money to keep a roof over my head, sooo
As always this needs to be said, people are fed up with the delays because it comes off as milking for as much money as possible, many of these people have supported the game for years and sees no release in sight (me in particular, supported them for a few years). This sets the fear that what we end up getting might not be up to the expectations.
Cyberpunk had bugs and other issues but it had all cutscenes and game core mechanics in place and was even playable from beginning to end since day one if you knew how to avoid some glitches and many of them were just graphic nonsense
Haven't played the game yet (but I plan to) but I've heard it's buggy as hell. Many have compared it to Cyberpunk.
, the creators of this game at least show the levels you are working on for believability.
Once you've beaten a level, there's no going back to it; the game will give sufficient warnings to let you know (both in cutscenes and on your GUI) if you're missing anything in terms of core collectibles before going to the next level, etc.
We won't ever have level selection available, simply because many things (your choices, the enemies you do/don't kill, your behavior in the level) affects events in future levels, and if the game doesn't have that input from the prior level, some cutscenes will break/won't work, because it's expecting you played through the previous level.

Oh absolutely, one of the main reasons we want to finish this ASAP is because we literally have multiple game design documents, fleshed out in bits and pieces over the years during times we couldn't directly work on FF (on the toilet, sick, writer's block, going to the store, etc.).
depending on how the levels are built you may even be able to just remove the story and progression elements and just load the players into the map with the default enemies randomly spawning or something. I think for most intents and purposes that would probably be enough as well for the general person that wants this feature
This would describe speedrun mode, basically, but there may be elements i'm not aware of still that might affect jumping from level to level (ex. the powerup RNG, not sure if it calculates stuff based on ones in past levels that've already been picked up or shown, for example), so I'd need to ask our programmer about it.depending on how the levels are built you may even be able to just remove the story and progression elements and just load the players into the map with the default enemies randomly spawning or something.

that's....why the fuck have LITERALY NO OTHER DEVS done that?....especially those non-english speaking devs that LOVE marketing their game in english but then publising a version in a different language...
To be fair, this heavily relies on translation programs and websites, and they haven't been the best sites until very recently, so it likely wouldn't have made sense for all that time.
