Reviewing Luthier's roadmap

[bongodriver]

it's only been 2 weeks since the last 'hi folks' from the devs, and it was more than just a 'hi folks' at that, has everyone missed the point that the meet the team was also a progress update of sorts, the devs made it clear a while ago that the sound is a big issue they are dealing with and 'hey presto' theres a new sound guy working on it....pictures and all, the devs also made it clear some elements bugs a buried deeeeep in the code, I am not a programmer but I know this has to take time to sort out, just 2 weeks later and this place descends into chaos with conspiracies and rumour????????????

Agreed, whether or not they say anything we know that an update is in the works and that they are (presumably) working against the clock to have more bugs fixed before the North American release.

Its really very simple and shouldn't have needed reams of "for and against" posts never mind insults etc..

We have paid for a game that doesn't work properly.
We are entitled to be told on a regular basis how rectification of our faulty goods is going.
Its not hard to give a weekly or fortnightly summary update off the back of their own progress reporting which we can only hope is happening in their world of programme management.

Thats it in a nutshell. Their complete silence just shows that its all about the money they really dont give a rats ass once they have got your dollar.

Actually I don't think that's true and lets face it they haven't taken many dollars on this yet.

If we consider why they aren't keeping us up to date more often then it could be:

1. They have simply decided on slower, perhaps 'milestone' releases of info (completion of significant objectives), which may not please many of us here and IMHO is not the right way, I'd like progress tracking so that I know how long it might take to fix my faulty goods.
2. They are sick of the rhetoric their info updates produce and are avoiding them as much as possible but I think they are thicker skinned than that.
3. They are not the slick organisation we hope they are and have taken their eye off this paticular ball.
4. They are not the slick organisation we need them to be and are stumbling around without proper direction.

Personally I think it's #1 which is a great shame.
