This thread seems shorter

Anyway, got this reply to a tweet:

AI now navigate the galaxy freely, just give them a destination and they find transport, pick up passengers, fly, drive, walk

Thanks Mr. Two Shoes!

This is absolutely ridiculous. Everyone who is saying give them time to finish etc. no. How long does it take to make a game? They announced this well over a year ago. What's the hold up? Just put it on the App Store and make updates.

Does anyone think this will be submitted before the new year?

An extremely ambitious open-world simulation with many unusual and dynamic principles and mechanisms is probably the hold up.

Probably not. And the end product will probably be all the better for it

Ever made one? Maybe it's hard.

As a developer I can tell you it's hard, really hard, but also really fun. Add to that the fact that all indies have an immense passion for their games, leading them to keep on tweaking stuff till it's perfect, and you can see that this usually leads to delays.

This game seems to be absolutely awesome and these devs have my utmost respect, particularly for having learned hard lessons from their first game and still maintaining enough morale to do another one.
