releasing an update with nothing in it, halting all ability to play the game just to tell everyone "nothing this time, another otw!" is not a great thing to kick everyone off the game for

releasing an update with nothing in it, halting all ability to play the game jus...
there's more to come
as in, before the next update.
fringe dome
yeah that's what I'm talking about
serene swan
rolling out the update before the content allows us to time things together
and we'd rather not have downtime at peak

oic, this is a communication issue. what was said was was "we didn't release anything, next one soon. haha download it anyways" instead of "we are deploying a small patch to make our next release smoother*
makes it seem like the deadline was just missed
fringe dome
the size of what was changed means nothing if you have to download 5gb to change it
the real problem is pinging everyone and kicking everyone off the game to say "nothing in this update!"
fringe dome
are we seeing different patch notes?

I aint gonna lie, this really isnt an issue at all, this is literally a nitpick, I'm just happy they're at least showing interest in keeping the game alive

I meme about "omg weekly update is a lie" but you should be happy there are updates at all even if they take a bit longer

Me, Simber and Tetra are currently at 7pm our time are working our day jobs lol
This isn't the same development team working day and night to get stuff done
It's a smaller team that only have the night portion, but Jimmy doesn't care about that.

It's what I assumed, when I heard y'all had actual jobs on top of this, I immediately understood the pain 😭
I've been in similar situations (although not for game management) and I can tell you I worry about y'all
Burnout-wise
So far y'all are doing great, dont get discouraged, neither the drama nor the small complaints take away the fact that the game's a fucking gem

I completely understand you won't have a whole bunch of shit ready week over week, pretending to release an update that actually has nothing in it to meet deadline is not better than just putting the patch out when it's ready
serene swan
I'm so confused on what you mean by meet deadline

Friday

Literally not a deadline.
We have content that is ready and will be pushed this evening.
serene swan

You guys are doing fine, thanks for the update. even the smaller ones. OP is halfbrained

Right what happened is we pushed the skins for the supporter pack with this update, we told steam that we wanted it at 10pm GMT and then we pushed the update early so that people can enjoy the new skins instantly

and so there wasn't an update at peak times
