FDEV - could we get dev diary back please?

I can't see FD bringing back the Dev diaries.

Back then, during early development, so many promises were made that have yet to be realised 4 years down the line...

I doubt they would intentionally throw themselves into that pit again!

Then maybe they could provide some updates on what they are doing, and reasons for dropping other stuff.

Yes, it is now, I'm hoping you will be able to quote yourself saying so (with a similar degree of certainty).

I hope you appreciate how hard this was with the search function still being knackered.

Here you go from the thread about the trailers launch, this is me replying to people who were convinced it was spacelegs.

Maybe it was just a trailer for the ship that featured in the trailer.

Lynx deodorant does not get you girls, redbull doesn't make you fly and not all headache pills make you go rollerblading.

It's almost as if taking advertising literally is daft.

We should stop now as we are making rootsrats thread untidy.
 
I support the idea. If we could see a couple of concept images a month in the form of a forum post, so many people would be reassured.

The problem with that trailer is not that it's showing a person walking down the hangar. There's nothing new to that. We've already seen this in the original trailer and I would expect such representation also in other games that don't have first person.

So what's really new and never seen before actually?

-THE LIFT ANIMATION

-THE CONTROLS UNFOLDING AROUND THE PILOT SEAT

Now, since this trailer is mainly about the new ship, are these two features specific to the Krait Mk II only?

NO! All big ships got a lift (the entry is very similar to the ASP) and the seat with the unfolding controls is preatty standard.

So the big question is...

WHY FDEV IS SHOWING SUCH DETAILED FEATURES, UNRELATED TO THE KRAIT, ONLY NOW?

This is the unanswered question that generated so many speculations!

The lift and the controls are parts of the Krait, it's like in a car advert when they show you the dashboard. They are just showing off their dashboard not teasing speedometers.

Yes but here the commercial is about the game not about a ship. If you do the commercial of a car you don't show a dashboard different from the car that you want to sell.

On top if the trailer is in game engine it means that those animations exists for real and someone spent the time and the effort to develop them! I'm quite sure that when we will be able to walk around in the ship we will see those things again!
 
Hi Frontier. Any chance for dev diaries making a come back? Even on a monthly basis... Just a few sentences to comment on what's in the works and maybe a single screenshot of sneak peek preview of some in-development stuff.

You would make a lot of the community happy with that and I reckon there would be much less salt on the forums...

Pretty please?

YES PLEASE! Make it happen FD, current 3 - 4 month gap between updates is pretty poor.

It's just a spaceship trailer.

Yes especially with 100 developers working on ED, there is grain to grind

:rolleyes:
 
Personally I want to know what's planned in the near future. We are the clients ya know. Want us in the store. well.... Talk to us. If you are honest with none of this No ETA No guarantee rubbish. You will most likely find the community amicable. Just ignore the regular moaners
It's being treated like mushrooms that gives people the hump.
