What do you think about published development roadmaps lately?

I’m really positive about this new generation sim and MS/Asobo commitment to build something special.
Roadmaps were great during last year as we were getting all the candy we wanted. It was great!
But to be honest that was marketing and PR roadmap and it was OK.

What about now? It seams to me that they are still publishing just the PR roadmap, not the development roadmap. I’m software architect and professional developer for 20 years now, and when we talk about development and product roadmap we talk about features, improvements, optimizations planed for next time period. Not about when will we publish next promo video or partnership announcement, or next PR roadmap.

All this negativity could easily be neutralized by more information what are the plans. Keep the hype high.

Maybe a bad example, but it will serve. Star Citizen has very detailed roadmap. Every feature that they are working on and planned for next one year. The game will never be finished :slight_smile: , but the hype is always high and people are still believing in them and in the end they are delivering something. Nobody is jelling at them “You should do that and that!”. Everybody can see clear picture of the vision that they have.

MS/Asobo, please share. Don’t let more and more people think that you have no clue what you are doing.

If they’d wanted to, they could’ve done that since the Alpha period started. But there were only talks about “involving” the community, there was no transparency at all.

The only involvement of the community was them reading some forums and advertising their reactions to some comments there.

Figure out what your post will bring…

No high hopes. Just saying.
It’s a simple direction to fix this image that they have right now.

Which image? You mean the 90+ reviews and game-of-the year nominations they received?

Believe you me, they don’t feel bad about anything at all, as long as only a few people here are raising their voice.

Yeah… you are right. Rainbows and all…
Interest in this topic is also indicative. :frowning:
