Update Speculation thread

I do get why a lot of people on the forums are getting very excited - we generally don't see teasers of this nature, with in-game glimpses of new vehicles no-less, outside of times when an update is generally imminent within the week.

And to be fair to that viewpoint, there is such a thing as a dev team that teases, builds hype, and then doesn't deliver in a timely manner (See: Scrap Mechanic, currently two years past the promised date for the next major update to the central survival mode, with the last teaser having been dropped in March of 2023 showing new areas and enemies) - but that's absolutely not a problem that applies to the BeamNG.Drive development team. As far as I'm concerned, they're the gold standard for developer transparency.

I mean, I've been here since 2016, and I've never once seen a major promise get broken around here - or an issue allowed to fester for long enough to become a problem without the community being informed.

So: Everybody relax a little. Go do your Christmas shopping early. Bake some cookies. Vacuum the floor. Read the fanfiction. Based on past performance, the update will be here soon.

 

Honestly, I'll be happy no matter what time this update releases.

 

Fully agree, sometimes it's best to stay light on teasers just in case something causes a delay. Everything looks amazing regardless, do take your guys' time to give it the finishing touches!

 

SO what i get from this is this,


That maybe we will get SOME of the update in dec, BUT some later in a hot fix.?

Wasent this what they did back in 2021? that is if i remember correctly

 

did just vacuum my floor lol.

 

Id say it was the bunch of teaser at a time when a update is very likely what caused the extra hype. I believe releasing teasers over a longer period is something else and wouldnt lead to the communitys reaction it did this time. I can admit i really would like to see more teasers or rather short snippets of progress if so just a teasing screenshot, in between updates, that way everyone can see you're working on stuff instead of just conspiraing away. Transparency is key and that is exactly what your communications are here and now.

 

I could see that working well if whatever problems the devs are having behind the scenes don't affect the main content. (The 2 new vehicles, map expansions, etc)

 

The BeamNG community isn't too different from the Smash Bros. community when you think about it lmao

 

However, I still think it is a great blending agent to release some teasers properly.

In this way, developers can quickly and intuitively understand the feedback and opinions of players.Even players can put forward some more professional suggestions and materials for development projects, which is great! Players and developers build updated content together.

 

Sorry to post so much, BUT as i said, i dont care if the update is next year, i hope the team ( all of them ) are ok

unless he means the game progress is not ideal, BUT then if the game has bugs that would be stressful on mental health,


I hope the team are going as well as can be

maybe its time to check some good mods out and or play more of the lovely 1930s nine i love that car lol, mostly the flat head 4.

 

If it makes @tdev happy. Me and over several million others are fighting to make the world a better place right now... And that number is rapidly growing... I hope that him and all the other devs see this and take a deep breath and have a bit of joy to run off of and power through the rest of this year. Its been DIFFICULT for everyone. I just want the devs to know they arent alone and I may sound like a broken record for saying this but never give up and fight for whats right

 

me likes leaks

 

Hmmm...

EDIT: Got ninja'd by GTAMan.

 

Legit sorry about that, BUT me thinks update is closer then i was thinking, i was thinking next week or 2026 tbh
So this is awesome news

 

I guess that “teaser” is actually a dune confirmed by tdev

 

Its a balancing act thats hard to master

 

I thought it was the top of the haul truck haha

Like the part of the bed that's above the cab

 

Im keeping my mouth shut as to what I think this update is or when its coming out. I feel like I knocked the devs all off balance with my theories and probably struck too close to exactly what the update is. Im gonna keep quiet from now on when teasers appear. I hope everyone fights for whats right and doesnt give up and that everyone has a good rest of the year

 

To be fair, this could be trolling.

 

yeah it could be that too
