So what do you think about the development goals, set one year ago?

 So what do you think about the development goals, set one year ago? I'll leave my opinion, i 'd like to hear yours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

With 0.52 hitting stable branch today, the holidays should see some interesting gameplay. I for one look forward to the expanded options for the roleplaying communities, as well as the outstanding changes to player versus player engagements I plan to have on first person only servers (when rescuing innocents from bandits, of course!). Suppressor support, hotfixes to address the majority of the gunshot audio issues, new animations, the first iteration of the chainsaw, and of course who could forget the seasonal festivities. I hope to see you all around the Christmas tree in Novod. I'll be looking for the bear that has my name on it. Red Water is not always a bad thing

They discussed not meeting many of these goals in the live broadcast audio slideshow presentation from the roostertooth debacle.

We discussed afterwards.  You're a couple weeks late.

[youngjediknight 51]

Uh ... so if we missed that meeting (sorry I was sick that day), then these issues are "too stale" to be addressed?  I was not aware that meeting attendance was required as part of my "early access" buy in.

[Conrad_The_Comrade 577]

Advanced Animals are in I'm fairly certain.

Statistics are in, just not viewable by us.

Dynamic events are in (Heli crashes, police cars)

New physics system is in, just not applied to everything yet.

Traps are in (Land mine, bear trap, rabbit snare)

No, you use the search feature and join in the discussion.

Every single time someone posts one of these, they are wrong about so much stuff. This one is no exception.

[hekeetsu 86]

For Q1: what are you smoking? CLE is now better than ever and infected ai? What's wrong with the new ai it's good imo...

Also I remember reading that the roadmap is for internal builds, so it wouldn't be the same as our build. Who knows what they got in there.

 

Also for barricading: lockpicks.

 

And animal group behavior. I  haven't seen any animals in this patch but from the stable/exp thread for 0.58 there was many screenshots of animal groups and such.

 

edit: In conclusion it's a nice list you made but you missed quite a few things that are already in + the internal roadmap point.

This is an excellent point and one that I am certain is overlooked by the majority. We only see the tip of the iceberg that's ready for main branch integration. 

[guppy22143 1081]

We have landmines and bear traps.

[boneboys 7988]

We also have WIP !

You are from the future?
