Update #76 - "Development News and the Team at Work"

Just wondering, but has wayfoward ever worked on mac and linux games?

Never a good sign. Now I suspect that, even if they do release a Linux version, I may still have to run it inside a Wine virtual desktop to get it to play nicely with my system.

(Several years ago, I actually gathered a list of common mistakes novices make when porting games to Linux for the first time, such as misbehaving when run on a multi-monitor desktop, only offering windowed modes that match resolutions the desktop is allowed to change resolution to, assuming joystick #1 is a viable choice to require, storing game files in an un-hidden folder inside $HOME, etc.)

Good point, I didn't think about that, since the game is already coming out on ps4/switch it's actually REQUIRED to have *nix compliant code and GL4.5 compliant shaders, that makes it even more baffling.

Epic store exlcusive incoming when? When is this update finally going to happen? I'm quite sick of following this endless charade, made all the worse knowing they won't actually refund things like a honest campaign would do (hello VITA refunds). Question

Anything is better than the current stance for sure.

Yeah, most people won't know, but I have enough friends in real life and online to make sure that people will have all the gory details of how the publisher has shafted Mac/Linux users. The lost sales will be greater than the amount I backed I'd easily bet.

A note on obligations, if someone missed this post from me:

To recap, I think it's fair to keep in mind that Mac/Linux is a promise from a team of Deep Silver + Inti Creates, who delivered the same for Mighty no. 9. Inti Creates and with them assumedly at the same time Deep Silver was cut from the project in mid 2016. At the time of our project's conception, it was not clear/expected that things would go so excruciatingly badly with Mn9 and its promises (many of which are still undelivered to this day with no communication, including platform delivery).

In comparison, rather than shoddy ports and empty promises of them thereof, Bloodstained is upfront and quick with the actual reality and honesty of what they will/will not do. I have great respect for that difference in communication and Iga owning up the responsibility to make that stand and not throw collaborators under the bus as he does it. Even the root problems I'm posing with Inti Creates/DS are things he took ownership of and made something great out of, and that was separating them as entities and putting their development on Curse of the Moon.

Knowing/seeing this, it does not absolve these groups from responsibility, no, perhaps not, but it gives a lot more background and context to the struggle of keeping responsibilities rather than just "they lied". The mass of stretch goals and content promised otherwise by an Inti/Deep Silver team are all still somehow on the table.

　XombieMike さんの意図した返事内容とは

　「その通りです。スタッフの方々は今大変忙しいのですが、ご要望があれば私が取り次ぎを致します。」

ということです。この時期、スタッフの方々には中々フォーラムを確認する余裕はないが、フォーラムの管理者である彼からのメッセージなら確認してくれるでしょう、という意味です。

    Translation:

    warthecheese,

    What XombieMike meant to say is

     "Yes. But they're very busy right now. If you need, I can get their attention."

What he means is that at this point in time the staff doesn't have much time to check the forums, but if he - the forum administrator - contacts them, they'll pay attention.

      XombieMike dude, what Google Translate had you say is "if you are necessary, I will distract them."

       Never trust Google Translate for Japanese.
