State of the Game

In reality this means "What? We didn't know that we would have so many problems. Everything was fine in testing. We are sooooooooooo surprised...."
There comes a time where you get limited results from whacking moles that might not exist if you continue down the line of development. It's a catch 22 for developers. Financial pressures mean that you can't stay idle to untangle a small handful of lines when the fish are going stale in the first nets. So at some point, the major team will have to stop what they are doing and get back to rowing towards the console release...

I know - so many mixed metaphors.
 
The crossover we've been waiting for finally arrived !

I'm pretty sure I know how development works.
I don't have any problems with the developers or anyone else.
My main gripe was and is: They now fixed a RELEASED software for over a month, didn't even fix much of the things people already reported in Alpha and they are still nowhere near something that I (read personal opinion) would call sellable or working as intended even roughly.
 
Some people (I mean myself naturally, but don't want to brag so obviously AGAIN) have natural talent to instinctively make slight body stance changes when attacked, resulting in aggressor hitting one of their protruding but damage resistant bone tips, resulting in attacker hurting himself when he was hoping to achieve the opposite.
If you are one of them, you won't be annoyed by such intents, you will be amused a moment after you did it again before even realizing what's going on until someone groans in pain.

Yeah, they screwed the pooch with this release, which puts them in the unenviable position of trying to fix some seriously broken stuff without trashing their timelines for ED and other products.

There will be some very stressed project managers running around FDev trying to square that circle right now, and something is definitely gonna slip or get dropped.

At least the dev update admits that they've got major problems, which is a step forward for FDev.
 
I really wanted to ask Arthur for a tldr version, but it would have only worked if I could have got post 2. I am disappointed, and may make a thread out of this important issue.

And now for something much more lewd....
Excuse: Busy Waxing off on my desk.

Well if Mr Miyagi is to be believed, it is all in the wrist. Just remember to put wax on, before you wax off all over the desk...

I was thinking of putting on my white dressing gown before doing it - but then thought the wax stains may show up on it.
