Stable Platform.

I have seen much information on this forum regarding creating a 'Stable Platform' to build on and thousands of ideas/requests for further additions/development. Can anyone give me an idea of what and when we can expect changes such as updates and patches and the (basic) process by which this is implemented. Thanks

This should give you an idea where it is at : https://www.facebook.com/marco.massarutto.1/posts/10207059150151131
You might have to translate it.

 

Take a look at these, how the PC version was constantly updated over time, and you know what to expect:

The main difference is that the patches all have to go through a certification process by Microsoft/Sony on consoles, so it takes quite a bit longer for updates to reach your console and the developers are more likely to bundle patches together in bigger updates with more time in between them to reduce costs that come up through this process.

 

Thanks everyone for your contributions - I have been well informed - I have seen how much hard work and complications involved in fixing even the tiniest bugs make the changes Kunos are facing such a time consuming task. Are there really only 3 of them doing all that work? Great Sim boys - Thankyou (a bit fanboy but ....)

 

I believe Stefano mentioned at some point that only three or four people worked on the console port, yeah. They also mentioned at some point that the whole team is just about 30 people and most of them do content (3D artists, sound designer, etc) - only very few programmers. Maybe a few more people work on fixing the console version now but it's really just a handful of people working on this. Before partnering with 505 Games to release the sim on consoles Assetto Corsa was purely a self-published indie release too. (doesn't excuse the state of the sim on consoles but you can see why it happened and how they have to release and update it)

 

I loved his passion and obvious skills - I played Project Cars and hoped it would be THE racing game/sim and was fairly vocal on that forum too and was ultimately disappointed. I bought Assetto with little expectation, and have been caught by the same bug - I really hope that they achieve their goals, our needs, and, hopefully the next game I buy will be Assetto Corsa 2 in a couple of years.
