I'd agree there was very little in the 3.1 plan, excluding the critical task of helmet polishing that was clearly needed before gameplay could even be considered, I thought there was a marked change in the way they did the 3.1 -3.4 roadmap, it was the least ambitious and most credible, stark contrast with normal everything is 98% done buy jpegs now rhetoric. its almost as if development only started in 2017.
this does not exclude them from the from the sorely lacking plan, they make up a road map every year, they are now polling to see how popular their road map is, which highlights that it's a marketing tool not a management tool.
it's reality-defying how such incompetence was given 180 million dollars and after six years + they cant even show a plan to finish... JFC how is squadron 42 road map in development and coming soon when its three years overdue...
Chris mate, 'answer the call' from basic intelligence and step down, you could not manage the fries at MacDonalds never mind a budget.
how do people look in the mirror and tell themselves its normal development without slitting thier wrists in shame is beyond me, it would be normal 'game development' if this pathetic development milestone happened 6 years ago, taking half a decade is not ambitious its incompetence. Hellion with 1% of the budget has acomlished more in less time, shit i have seen projects dreamed up, designed and built in less time than this farce of project, that involves actual stuff that is hard and has never been done before.
but its harder to get jpegs to fly around in a pre built engine than it is to design a real rocket and get it into outer space or create whole software packages from scratch... its normal to do a first iteration on mechanics now, years after the completion date original completion date when you only have 30 times the original budget. its pretty standard that projects take 3 times longer than expected with no reasonable estimate to complete.
sorry I got a bit ranty there its hard not to get the blood boiling with such blatant abuse of peoples good will, it's such an injustice that CR and his entourage will get away it in the end. I hope they manage to produce something in the end if only to lessen this extortionate crime.
