¡¡Viven!!

Exacto señores, viven aunque no lo crean.

Los desarrolladores de LFS han dado señales de vida, espera… no te ilusiones mucho, no es un patch nuevo, ni el nuevo modelo de físicas, ni el Scirocco, ni Rockingham, ni eso lejano llamado S3, ni -ingrese cualquier cosa aquí-. Exacto, nada nuevo, sólo Scawen nos ha privilegiado con algo de información ya que, según el, estamos algo desinformados… me pregunto quien tendrá la culpa de eso ¿no?

La informacion surge de un thread “picante” en el foro oficial, en el cual postean este video:

El autor del thread le reclamaba a los desarrolladores por qué razón daban a probar la pista a extraños en eventos y no a sus fieles seguidores que habian comprado la licencia del juego.

A lo q Scawen salió al cruze con:

As you seem fairly misinformed about what we do, here’s a summary :
-LFS is not a normal business. We are 3 people who went away from normal business to do things our way.
-We don’t have deadlines. Things are finished when they are finished.
-This indeed leads to long development processes some times. This wasn’t always the case – you should’ve been here in the earlier years ago when there was a stream of updates every year.
-But now LFS has developed and matured a lot – it has many many features that people asked for and honestly aside from modding, what is there you cannot do with LFS now? I’m just saying Scawen has worked his nuts off to accomodate everyone. (still feel like we owe you anything? What more does 24GBP buy you these days? Honestly?)
-Now we want to take LFS to the next level by upgrading the physics. I guarantee you, you have no idea of how difficult this is. Give everyone a giant CPU and GPU and sure it’s fairly easy to develop a super accurate racing sim. But you know, it doesn’t work like that. LFS needs to run on slower machines as well. So shortcuts to better physics need to be found, without producing weird side effects. You go and try that. I wish you all the luck in the world.
-Now the question remains, couldn’t we have released the scirocco and rockingham anyway? I guess that was possible. In hindsight at least. If we would have known it would take so long in advance .. but we didn’t. There still would have been a big delay in new releases then though, while physics were worked on, so the question remains : what would people be asking for now, if sci and rock where already released 4 years ago.
There is no use in releasing them sooner now though, because Scawen IS working on the new physics and him taking a break to work on releasing new content will only delay the physics .. again. That stuff needs to be done. It needs to get out of the way. Scawen needs to be able to tick that off his list. Then that incredibly difficult part of LFS development is done and “simple” stuff can be worked on again. We can’t wait to get on with regular development. There are still so many things we want to do!

Básicamente dice lo de siempre:

• Que son 3, seguiran siendo 3 y que no les rompan más las bolas que haran las cosas como ellos quieren… -_-
• Que no se ponen plazos, las cosas están terminadas cuando están terminadas, GENIOS!!!
• Que no nos quejemos que durante muchos años tuvimos updates… MMMM GRACIAS???
• Que con 24libras no podríamos comprar un juego como el LFS, e? “ALTO GUISO ME HAGO CON 24LIBRAS!!!”
• Que es re dificil mejorar las fisicas y que funcionen en una x386 con 1Mega de RAM… ASDASDASDASD
• Que pudimos sacar el Sci y Rock Antes? Probablemente si, ahora LTA porque Scawen esta con las fisicas y darnos contenidos nuevos demoraria las físicas de nuevo… EN SERIO¿?

En definiva… a seguir esperando.

¡Hasta la próxima!
