Update Speculation thread

What in the world is proper delay? Or an improper delay? They had a timeline to implement new features, and they realized they wouldn't make it within that release window, so they delayed the update. Whenever they ship an update, it takes up a lot of development time because they have to do so much testing and handle everything else involved in shipping an update.
My guess is they figured it's more beneficial to the player base and the development team to push back the update and ship the changes they really wanted to implement, rather than give us some piecemeal stuff and slow down their development.

They're not on a strict schedule, and they never publicly committed to a release date for .39, so they probably don't feel it's necessary to hit us over the head with information, but will do it when they think it's right

 

I mean a proper message saying there will be a delay, like 0.35 (Can’t remember the version)
--- Post updated ---
I meant 0.33

 

guys I had a weird dream where BeamNG dropped a teaser and revealed they were adding Cherrier go karts. trust me guys I swear I got a vision from John BeamNG himself just wait

 

Go Karts would be sick. Could recreate Rémi Gaillard's videos lmao.

 

Honestly karts would be a great addition. Personally they aren't my thing but considering how important they are IRL as an entry to motorsports they would be useful to have.

 

They literally said that the update is delayed and that it will take months until we will know more, what else do you need for it to count?

 

An official announcement, reddit comment doesnt count

 

It’s a pinned message on the official Discord.

 

Still not a proper announcement till it is posted on all socials.

 

Can't please everyone...

 

Not everyone uses discord guys... I'm not sure what the point of an official forum is if news only gets formally posted to discord...

I agree it is a bit odd that we haven't actually seen the official announcement by now but whatever, it'll be posted when it's posted.

 

I think the devs know it would get posted here? but then again not everyone check this thread, or even the Forms, Some just go on youtube and all that.

 

Exactly. 95% of the player base doesn't touch the forums, discord, or r*ddit

 

why did you need to censor reddit lmao

 

Bad place

 

As a Reddit user, I can confirm this statement. It sucks.

 

The most unhappiest, unfriendly, and unfun social media app. It makes Twitter/X look good.

 

yeah reddit is the ( often not always ) Dimitri Rascalov of common Forms, Anyway OT,

HMM what if the delay could be just bug fixes ( doubt as the Dev ( forgot who it was sorry ) said it will all make sense later.

So, my ideas are, Dynamic weather, Due to the engines limitations, I would not expect it to be really Dynamic, Other then cloulds, But maybe you pick lets say West cost usa, Rainy. or sunny, Once you pick, You would have to go to main menu to change it and reload it, I dunno am not a programmer,

2nd possible cause delay, HMMM Hybrid or some new thing this new coupe could get? that we know nothing about.

3rd, Fluids like that mod, but that is VERY not likely.

4rd something way else, I.E more rally. more AI races, More missions. More career stuff,


And last of all maybe as said before some street lights that work at night


What ever it will be i cant not wait ( but we will have to and be worth it ) beamng devs are AWESOME after all, peak game devs so what ever it is will be grand,



Side note, I hope they manage burnout well, and still enjoy life outside of beam As much as updates help my mental burnout and depression, I know about how it feels to be blue, so i really hope they enjoy being devs and enjoy IRL stuff to

 

Reddit truly is full of degenerates. Stenyak posts great insights and helps assist people with problems from time to time (truly a righteous dude, bless his heart). But the comments on the Beam subreddit piss me off so frequently. Just a lot of people who know JACK about game development or data-driven decisions, just making every demand under the sun about what they want from BeamNG and how the devs should do this or can't do this properly....I have to step back and just assume (hopefully) that they're all 13 years old and just don't know better yet.

I do think the delay is for more ambitious reasons than just car or cloud related. I've stated this before. But I think it's equivalent to the move to PBR materials. At least as closely as you could make a sort of equivalence between two completely different things.

And Stenyak says all is well within the team, and I'd like to think they have a pretty good handle on how to manage a team and provide work/life balance. I'm sure they're busy, but they should feel fulfilled with how much love they get from the community (ignoring the obvious bad apples). Rather be a Beam dev than say a Battlefield 6 dev, where the story since launch has been "these incompetent devs need to dig themselves out of a hole AGAIN because they can never learn from previous titles".

 

somehow it doesn’t surprise me that you use reddit
