Any update on the update?

I see a bunch of posts from 8-12 months ago talking about a "big update" coming soon... any chance of an update on the update? The game is objectively in an unfinished state at the moment, and news of a future update would be marvelous.

On discord Joscha (dev) said they are still working on a big update. There is no official word on what the update will contain or when it will be released. Joscha has been dropping some cryptic hints on what they have been working on

With all due respect, the proper place for announcements would be here, on Steam. Poor communication from devs/publishers is one of the #1 reasons why games die or fade into obscurity. Disappointing, hope they return to inform their fanbase.

i used to play this game so much, its been 2 years now since ive touched it. I expect quarterly msgs from Dev teams about whats next for a game for me to stay interested. Ive done everything there is to do in the game and i prob wont play till an update is at least officially announced

The trouble is there are some quite serious bugs in this game, so its all well and good to keep saying there is an update still being developed, but when are the existing bugs going to be dealt with??

For example, I stopped playing this because shop counters can no longer be staffed, I hire the required number, and yes I set the right schedule, but staff never do the job at that counter. I posted about this bug a long time ago, and I've seen others reporting the same issue. I look forward to the update, but I wish they'd stop and at least fix some of the long running bugs that make the game unplayable. I have clearly hit some kind of limitation with how many counters I can place/staff because every additional counter I add has the same problem, the store type doesn't matter, so there is no point continuing to play until this gets fixed.

How many more months or years will it be before this update finally comes out, and will it fix the bugs or just add more. Sorry, but even the most patient of gamers will be looking at SimAirport lack of updates and assume it's abandoned.

Nope, Steam is a distributor, a digital store. While true Steam does make it easy for developers to communicate with their customers, there is no precedence for anyone who sells stuff to hang around the store just to be able to listen to ever little whine a customer can come up with. I can't remember the last time I saw farmer Brown hanging out at the grocery store waiting for me to come in and ask questions about when his next batch of broccoli is coming in. While it's true there are a number of indie type developers who do take advantage of Steam's ability to communicate with customers; your view that this should happen is just twice the work for the developer and they just might not have the time (or desire) to do so. Be thankful to those that do use the feature, they've gone above and beyond.

The game is dead, the developers are lying to us about supposedly new content...nothing has happened.
