It's still laggy with a large amount of players.
I don't have my haxxy reward from this year.QuoteBoth Garrison Builder Re-Make by Derpduck [LORD] (http://www.ganggarrison.com/forums/index.php?topic=34353.0) and The Prop Archive by Machidro (http://www.ganggarrison.com/forums/index.php?topic=34291.0) receive the first prize.
what the fuck is the point of all these updates?Fixing serious bugs?
what the fuck is the point of all these updates?lack of betatesting = fixing bugs as everyone else finds them in official updates = tons of updates with one bug fixed at a time
Pretty much. 2.6.4, 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 all had bugs which would easily have been caught with even brief testing. Although 2.6.6 less so as it only happened when using a haxxy reward. But that bug was caused by me not being diligent when changing the format of a variable (I should have done a search for other references to it and corrected them). Obviously, the next release will be beta tested.what the fuck is the point of all these updates?lack of betatesting = fixing bugs as everyone else finds them in official updates = tons of updates with one bug fixed at a time

I think I got too used to the notion of beta tests are useless that I skipped them altogether. Plus I wanted to push out 2.6.4 quickly to get it over with and that cost me dearly.
a developer who has no interest in the users who play the game itself has zero business being a developer.inb4EAismentioned
An awful lot, yes. Despite what people think, I do actually play the game.I think I got too used to the notion of beta tests are useless that I skipped them altogether. Plus I wanted to push out 2.6.4 quickly to get it over with and that cost me dearly.
> beta tests are useless
> get it over with
do you actually care about this game?
a developer who has no interest in the users who play the game itself has zero business being a developer.I do have an interest in the users. The reason I rushed it out was partly motivated by two particular things people were waiting for:
you cannot release a game for your own satisfaction ajf.I don't. Releasing isn't particularly fun.
you're releasing a game for the satisfaction of the players who play the game.That doesn't actually contradict your previous sentence since I play the game.
move forward from these ridiculous mistakes and make sure the release isn't laden with critical errors and a sordid lack of attention to detail.I've said I would.
this isn't a group project in school where you're the only one doing work to get a barely passing grade for a credit. you're making light of the effort, donations, development, interest, skill, time, and the motivation of every single person who has EVER made a contribution to the game. there's a lot of power in your hands right now. don't fuck it up and destroy this game.I'm not making light of anyone's efforts nor my mistakes. I screwed up, okay? Don't rub it in, I'm well aware, and future releases will be done more carefully.

Plus I wanted to push out 2.6.4 quickly to get it over with and that cost me dearly.Just make a thread on 4chan and put up a server. Ask some people to test for you. How do you think Psycho got all his testing done?

we don't need them to betatest
Before we ship it out to a bunch of randoms, I'd much prefer we did it with people who know the game well aka us. Except we weren't even asked to, which is the main problemI heard that argument over steam.

before we complain that no attempt was made to test anything, i would like to point out that this thread has been around for a while nowThat was in July, in an old thread that pretty much everyone forgot; including you, I'm sure

point is, it was there and hosts were free to test it. plus the gap between that time and the update was plenty of time for bugs to be reported and fixed. yet i haven't seen anyone but myself even attempt to test it.before we complain that no attempt was made to test anything, i would like to point out that this thread has been around for a while nowThat was in July, in an old thread that pretty much everyone forgot; including you, I'm sure

Your point?
These threads are from this month.
heenok did too and got some of the nasties for meo yea, forgot about him
Post a public beta in announcements next time or something, that's all I'm asking.That would be the point of Dev Discussion.
No-one's gonna see it there. You'll get more people testing if you put it in Announcements.Post a public beta in announcements next time or something, that's all I'm asking.That would be the point of Dev Discussion.
Most of that stuff is only cool to the developers/coders though which is why most people ignore it.Pretty much.
thats their problem i guessNot really, man. You need to bring more attention to something like a physics overhaul than that. Post an announcement for it and have a Dev Discussion thread for reporting bugs, or even just a more active thread in Dev Discussion with a better title like we've got now. At least then people are more likely to see it on the latest posts for that subforum and go "shit let's be santa."
Yeah it is the developers/coders' problem isnt ityea dude, its the developers problem for posting a thread where its SUPPOSED to go and its also their fault no one checks there. lets go with that
