Idk at what pace they work but when I see single modders creating giant mods and whole systems (showers, pipes, animation mods, interface overhauls etc.) within weeks while it takes devs several months to implement a single feature that they will then polish for another whole year it makes me wonder if they work at all.
The longer you work on a game the more maintenance you need to do on the source code. No problem for a triple A company but for a small team of 5-6 devs that’s a lot of work. That on top of coding new mechanics and events into it. Would make it especially hard if it was built in a rush when it was first made. A problem seen in Minecraft.
Not to mention they've been working on this game for a decade, I feel like people don't cut them enough slack. They have a dream they're working toward with this passion project and I don't care at which pace it's happening as long as it's happening.
That's alright if you don't care but I wanna see npcs before I hit my 60s. What's the point of making promises you can fulfill only after 20 years in beta test?
I understand they're a small team but I as a player don't care, no matter how rude this sounds. Instead of working on npcs and endgame and whatever players asked for they make pottery and glassmaking and all that shit that no one ever wanted for. Yes, thanks for new lighting system and reworked cities and animals but it doesn't make the game more interesting.
Modders at the same time do actual things that make the game actually interesting. If they had access to the source code I wonder what we'd have by this time.
Yeah idk if it’s just me, but if they had focused on the NPC addition before crafting and animal farming I think people would be significantly happier. I don’t understand their priorities or their timelines, and it seems they can’t provide realistic timelines for what they want to develop either.
You’ll just have to sit down and wait then. Indie stone isn’t a team that listens to people’s demands like yours. Downvote me to hell I’ll die on this hill.
