Discord Quotes -Ivan (AltFuture)

[JoshBologna]

Manja — Today at 1:36 AM

Folks, we are aware of this invisible wall bug and we are working on it. Hang on tight!

Hi @everyone – Thank you for your patience! Derail Valley: Simulator is out now!

https://steamcommunity.com/games/588030/announcements/detail/3673297170223774190

Edit: The team releases the build when they're finished. The late release is disappointing but patience is a virtue. This is for those who aren't on Discord or just want the TLDR version.

Discord:

https://discord.gg/45AmEzY

All times are in EST (USA)

Ivan — Today at 12:59 PM

There is a delay of a few hours. There is no confirmed time for release, and all that was originally given was estimates.

Yoshi — Today at 1:23 PM

Guys you had almost over 2 years time so what the heck is going on

Ivan — Today at 1:23 PM

Software development

Gammos — Today at 1:22 PM

Is it expected to be more than 2?

Ivan — Today at 1:22 PM

Few =/= Couple

some_guy — Today at 2:04 PM

@Ivan is sandbox mode done or will we have to wait for that too

Ivan — Today at 2:04 PM

Sandbox is done. Nearly everything promised is in the release.

Ivan — Today at 2:04 PM

There will be a news post at release with more info

LegoHead™ — Today at 2:05 PM

Is release gonna be before midnight cet ?

Ivan — Today at 2:07 PM

It'll be released when it's done

aralph — Today at 2:43 PM

So its still on track to release sometime today?

Ivan — Today at 2:44 PM

So far, but things are moving quickly. More info when we have it.

Zajíc — Today at 3:00 PM

@Ivan is there any next ETA please?

Ivan — Today at 3:00 PM

I do not currently have one. "A few hours" still stands.

Technician (Narga) — Today at 3:12 PM

Out of curiosity has there been any status updates?

Ivan — Today at 3:13 PM

We're still a few hours out. There will be an announcement in ⁠news when it's released.

Ivan — Today at 3:15 PM

Still trying hard to get it out the door today.

Zajíc — Today at 3:53 PM

Any ETA news would be great... 😦

Ivan — Today at 3:54 PM

ETA: A few hours. We're working on it.

NikoBlyat — Today at 3:54 PM

So might be tomorrow yeah?

Ivan — Today at 3:54 PM

So far still before midnight in Serbia (where the devs mostly are)

bballjo — Today at 4:13 PM

wait...whats the status?

Ivan — Today at 4:15 PM

ETA: When it's done. A few hours still. Trying hard to shove it out the door today.

traffic cone — Today at 4:32 PM

altfuture please give us something at this point im wondering if you all just died

Ivan — Today at 4:34 PM

They're heads-down trying to get the update out

jocking — Today at 5:02 PM

So, fixing "just a small bug in tutorial" is now officially taking more than 4 hours. Let that sink in

Ivan — Today at 5:04 PM

When builds take over half an hour to bake, yeah, it takes a while.

YmY — Today at 5:05 PM

Hoping dependencies won't be missing 😄

Ivan — Today at 5:06 PM

Or that your bugfix didn't reveal more issues that were past the blocking bug

El Macho Gato — Today at 5:06 PM

@Ivan
so ubdate will be released tomorrow

Ivan — Today at 5:06 PM

It'll be released when it's done.

Ivan — Today at 5:24 PM

It's being worked on as fast as they're able to. You just need to be patient. Many people brought it up, that you've waited years, another few hours will not hurt. Whether that takes us into 'tomorrow' by Belgrade time (CEST) is yet to be seen, but it's coming.

Naty — Today at 5:31 PM

oke, why we cant have update and then hotfix ?

Ivan — Today at 5:32 PM

It's not that simple. Sometimes it's more work to cut something out, tie up loose ends and shove it out the door than it is to just fix the problem.

arw — Today at 5:39 PM

just sacrifice a goat, troll or several goblins to the compiler and it'll work as intended

Ivan — Today at 5:39 PM

We're already sacrificing sleep and sanity.

Ivan — Today at 5:40 PM

Sometimes, you can do everything right, and software development can just say
Nah, I don't think so.

Dzambulka — Today at 5:43 PM

I understand this, I just hope it won't harm the game in the future, because even I have a problem trusting you now after two delays

Ivan — Today at 5:44 PM

As said before, it's not like we're happy to delay anything. We want this in your hands as badly as you want to play it. It's a labor of love, and it's something the team absolutely wants to get right.

RogerWilco6 — Today at 6:00 PM

They knew it wasn't happening from the original release time. They have done this before. it was supposed to release March of 2022, and got pushed, 15 months later, supposed to release today. if a tutorial is prventing release, it is in bad shape. I just wish they would be honest to us, let us know and then keep developing to make a great simulator. But to hide it from us, shameful.

Ivan — Today at 6:01 PM

That is a ridiculous stance to take. We've delayed it plenty before, what sense is 'hiding' it from y'all if we intended to push it even a day more? They're in the office at midnight trying their damnedest to get this update out.

RogerWilco6 — Today at 6:09 PM

That is what I have been saying from the get-go and people think i am entitled. Even if they delayed a month, who cares as long as it is all working great. What matters is they just give us feedback and let us know the situation. It is ok to delay this thing to fix it, just tell us.

Ivan — Today at 6:10 PM

The problem with time estimates is we can't predict when it goes wrong. Right now, things are looking better than a few builds ago. That's what I have right now.

Ivan — Today at 6:49 PM

I have some news.
We're building what we hope is the final build.
If all goes well, it'll be released very soon.

Ivan — Today at 7:23 PM

tl;dr update spilling into the early hours of 'tomorrow', as it's 1:30 in Serbia now

TheOofertaffy — Today at 7:54 PM

do you mean the build that you guys said thought it looked like it was going to be the final release build had a bug or something?

Ivan — Today at 7:55 PM

Either that or build failed. They're working on it.

Yellow — Today at 7:55 PM

do you have a rough time estimate for us?

Ivan — Today at 7:55 PM

No, but they're still in the office.

Ivan — Today at 7:56 PM

It's 2am and they're still hammering away.

Mac — Today at 8:25 PM

Bruh, these devs taking their time fr

Ivan — Today at 8:26 PM

A huge amount of time is just compiling builds.

carter — Today at 8:41 PM

any updates on how the testing is going?

Ivan — Today at 8:42 PM

Builds are occuring.

Ivan — Today at 8:45 PM

This feels like a slow descent into insanity

Ivan — Today at 8:48 PM

Build is baking.

magn1220 — Today at 8:52 PM

Can you promise me that you guys wil get a proper rest before soon then ♥️

Ivan — Today at 8:52 PM

I'm willing to bet they're gonna sleep like logs after this.

Ivan — Today at 9:09 PM

Waiting on a build to bake.

DeadNinja — Today at 9:40 PM

@Ivan is it time for you guys to have a break and start again tomorrow?

Ivan — Today at 9:40 PM

They want to ship it, so we're waiting on the build.

carter — Today at 10:24 PM

did the most recent build burn?

Ivan — Today at 10:25 PM

Yes, but they're still at it.

slobodan — Today at 10:47 PM

"Doing a potential final test again. Phew, let's see"

[Mr. Mustache]

aint no way you this mad about a free update

[Boatabike]

Kids today, no respect and no understanding of when people are working hard to produce something of quality for people who have no idea what hard work even is.

[MechE.Emma]

Update is rushed -> community: "This absolutely sucks, you had two years!"

Update is delayed -> community: "This absolutely sucks, you had two years!"

Just let them work. It's disappointing but it's better to get something that works than something that doesn't.

[kakemoo]

will the update be out tonight or tomorrow? if tomorrow, when?

[ShadowGamer101st]

Relax my dude. its free update. Let the devs cook. If we keep complaining they'll over cook.

I'm not mad at all. It's done when it's done. Some people aren't on discord and would probably like to see the team communicating with everyone.

[TerraNova]

Finally. Now we can link to this thread.

Relaxed people just want a simple answer, it's not that complicated.

[Niinox]

Fingers crossed. Thanks for consolidating everything!

It's not, but they are a small team. Sounds like everybody is tied up on the code, so them posting any kind of update is taking time away from getting the code fixed. It's also past 4AM their time so they are likely running on fumes. Have some compassion.

[Reese]

Yeah, DEVs have been going at it for 20 hours. Crap happens. Appreciate that they didnt give up at bed time.

[dwtrains_nz]

Thanks for creating this thread Josh, great idea. Will be keeping this up on my phone while I play something else.

[pickleStomp]

Anyone who has seen the the showcases from squirrel and still whines about "two years" / "waning trust" is retarded, You've Literally watched a playable build of the update.


99 little bugs in the code.
99 little bugs in the code.
Take one down, patch it around,
107 little bugs in the code...


Jamming to the soundtrack while I wait.

This is what happens when you buy into an EA game with a small team. Just be thankful you're getting an update at all. Most indie devs dip when they get a lot of money.
