Update 0.6 discussion

I am a bit unsure how this ties to my question. But i try to understand it this way: You are still heavy at work with 0.6 and simply can not tell at this point a concrete date because you can not foresee how much longer you need and therefore don't want to commit to a date you might have to cancel again.

 

[

That is what it looks...delayed 1 week should mean Wednesday 7 days after expected release...but it will be whenever has
To be....silent is consent...therefore...it could be any time..they (kunos) do not know yet ..or keep working to have the release ready ASAP..
A circuit and a car (2),,minor details and maybe basic multiplayer (at least to know your standing during racing),then
The 4K game is done...triple,vr,multiplayer,fps,performance, rating,matchmaking, career and championship Ac1 look alike,to an usable /good level will come during 2019..or beyond..unless otherwise informed.
I thought that more detailed info would be provided already (well past 0.6 initial schedule release),perhaps a bit annoying for Customers this lack of info,,but it’s what it is...wait and see..
Hoping for the best
Ready for the worse

What developer said they will rather spend more time working on update so it does not get delayed then sitting on forums whole day and replying on every tag they get in every thread

 

A week , two weeks , a month ? We should not concentrate on time but working features. If it was up to me I would delay a month, or until all the features that Kunos expected to be working by now, are complete. I personally would not have given a time frame, like they did in the last comment, as customers would attach themselves to it as if written in stone. Sticking to a unobtainable time frame for software development is stressful for software developers and frustrating for customers. Unfortunately business needs time frames otherwise they could not estimate budgets, salaries and expected profits. So there has to be a balance. If the project is delayed it will give the developers more time to produce better tested game on the other hand Business will have to renege on promises it made to customers and sponsors. I know what I would do.

 

Proposing a roadmap is not a bad thing, as long as the community behaves with a reasonable maturity level and understand that it's not something set in stone.

This.
The number one enemy of software development is that both developers and customers but more so management has unrealistic expectations.
The developers develop this unrealistic belief that for something to be ‘ready’ it has to be ‘perfect’. If it can’t be perfect, they just throw something together of which they are not proud.
Very few developers embrace the habit of developing something that works, but it’s not perfect, and then refine it or refactor it completely based on what they have learnt.

Management is too lazy to figure out that their need for exact dates and milestones set in stone is down to traditional techniques that are outdated. Like that of ‘setting expectations’. So many times I’ve been asked to answer the question ‘can we predict the future?’ (E.g. how long will it take to develop this brand new feature that no one has ever done before?) And the answer (no!) was never accepted. It is the wrong way of managing expectations. Expectations should not be set. They should be challenged.

(Some) Customers have not yet been educated in how to get involved in the early stages of a project. I think this is where Kunos might want to do things differently next time: guide users into what feedback would be beneficial to the development team. Avoiding the expectation that the game will be ready sooner than it’s possible, or worse, much later than it would be useful.

Believe me it takes an enormous amount of courage to develop iteratively with fixed dates but no fixed scope, and continuously improving. Mostly due to this ‘pressure’ from customers on one end, management on the other, and the developers caught in between what’s ‘right’ and the ‘right now’

Triple screen support is one of the important features i’d Like to see in the game.
Having said that I know it’s not the most important one for me and for most people, so rather than being negative, I’d rather if we worked out a way to actually get it implemented after the game had gone gold.

On the other hand multiplayer support is of vital importance. Just wish we could run even a half baked unfinished copy for testing purposes and run some benchmarks on behalf of Kunos.

 

Go outside and see nature, next update will be here soon

 

then, everything is written in the news and announcements section...

it is understandable that people cannot wait...
In the end it means they want to devour the game, which means it's good.

I want to underline my solidarity to the devs.

 

I expect a v0.6 vídeo trailer showing the new cars, track and dinamic weather.

To easy the wait.

 

Any hope to release the update today?

 

I don't think they would release it without previously making some kind of announcement on Twitter or Facebook.

So I would say no.

Are you going to repeat this post everyday? Reminds me of the "are we there yet?" scene from Shrek 2.

See post #222 on this page.

 

Erm... It's a Gran Turimo image or that's it's livery?

 

ACC has had at least 8 builds in the last 8 days.
Considering (from what I've read) that UE can take quite some time to compile each build - to put in perspective, during AC EA Kunos could have (and had) 8 builds available to test in a single day - Kunos surely is working full steam for quite some time (and not just in the last 8 days), just by the count of the number of builds they are putting out to test and qa.

 

ACC. Massarutto facebook.

 

That's a screenshot of the 2015 Nissan GT-R we're getting, and the livery for it.

 

Slightly unfortunate livery for a competing game to have to incorporate...

 

#22 used the 2015 model and #23 the 2018 model, isn't it?
