Metis Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Now imagining the scenario where the Team forgets to update their twitter, and half a year later someone relying on it checks the forums and is like "wait, when was it released?"

Legate of Mineta Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Metis; Well...that *could* actually happen, now that I think about it. Forums are probably best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The one thing I dislike, is that BCS goes on social media for these sorts of things, then leaves their website alone and outdated for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamgoofball Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I found out about this game from Bobbin Threadbare's let's play on Something Awful, and I'm hoping to pick it up when I get the chance after it releases on steam. However, I'm curious about the modding tools. How powerful are they, and is there any good documentation for them? And will they be functioning on the steam build?

Metis Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 The modding tools off steam are, as of right now and until the release of Y2's tools, maybe, not entirely functional. They can still do some good things, but they're fairly basic and slower than a narcoleptic snail. Not sure if the Steam version will change that at all.

Legate of Mineta Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Metis; I don't think so- the Y2 Tools won't be released until Y2, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 It may be different people, but since they are doing work in your name, I would say it is very important, all the same. Anyway, It's not that big of a deal, but I'm sure there are some folks left behind. I'm quite sure that if I wasn't a forum member, I probably wouldn't notice it as I largely stay away from social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I've personally actually adblocked those silly "share this page!" buttons at the bottom of any given topic, myself. Now I'm no longer at risk of accidentally clicking on something that, under any sane circumstances, I'd never click on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Free; Sure...but since they do not exclusively work on the website, there may be more important things for them to work on. As always, time is the greatest factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Can't directly argue with that, but, honestly, I would think they should be able to spare a half hour to update a few lines of text at some point within a couple of years. Just an observation and a bit of constructive criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzbart Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Can I suggest to slowly prepare the shop page for steam and if it is ready before the Steam Version is done than put in a release date of Q1 2017. I know the Beta will still take some time but Q1 should be a big enough time span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Schwarzbart; I'll ask, but I agree. That makes sense to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 The Team specifying any sort of release window because it "should be a big enough time span". That Steam might be getting impatient I can understand, but even so there's no way this could possibly go wrong. Personally I'm of the opinion that the Team ought to (re-)comb through the DLC 16 bugs topic at least before they should entertain ideas of release. Preferably (re-?)look through the last however many pages of the Suggestions topic and that doomed DLC 16 fan patch topic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Well, the team told me, that they were entertaining the idea of doing a 'certain thing' (nothing terribly awesome, but important all the same) and that if such a thing were to be done, it would be after release, so I would say that there still will be a final bugfix and polish patch after DLC17. Yeah, the steam crowd may bitch seeing a few typos, but I think that so long as we don't have the kind of bugs found in the beta so far, we'll be doing pretty good. Of course, I may be pretty biased, being a regular here for so long now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyrhet Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I honestly doubt people will complain that much about a few typos. Most likely they'll go largely unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Perhaps I'm biased in the other direction, but my opinion is that the Steam version should not be released until all the issues brought up in the DLC 16 bugs topic (over 2½ years ago, in some cases) have been addressed at least. As minuscule as most of those errors are it'd just give off a bad impression that they weren't fixed for so long, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 They have that full list, but some things may get through- it does happen. I definitely think waiting until it is all closed is probably not the best plan. Then again, would be great to close all of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 It's certainly been delayed enough as is and it's going to have to be delayed for a bit longer still at least, but at the same time I don't want to think about how the Steam crowd might interpret the Team not having fixed things they've been aware of since mid-April of 2014.

Legate of Mineta Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Metis; Things will get through, it's an unfortunate part of how bugs are fixed, and so... But having said that, don't be shy about raising this in the beta. That's a higher chance of focusing them on solving a specific issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
