Wait, Chucklefish doing actual work? What is this madness?
[QUOTE=Cmx;48537135]Wait, Chucklefish doing actual work? What is this madness?[/QUOTE] They're doing a lot of work on the game, just rarely on the stable build, their unstable and nightly builds receive a lot more updates, but of course more bugs.
[QUOTE=Cmx;48537135]Wait, Chucklefish doing actual work? What is this madness?[/QUOTE] I don't know man, they don't update the stable much but if you were to opt into the dev version you'd know what they are up to.
I don't know if I'll ever like the developers as people, but I'm still hoping that they manage to pull off a good game, even if it happens years after their initial projection.

They made a mistake and the game is probably gonna take a long while to finish but that mistake wasn't from a malicious intent.

And their forum community is easy as heck to get banned from, with the mildest provocation. I'd blame that more on vague rules than actual malice though.
[QUOTE=Cmx;48537135]Wait, Chucklefish doing actual work? What is this madness?[/QUOTE] I love when people post this bullshit about them not doing anything. Tells you who is actually following the game and who's just parroting old info and nonsense they heard from another idiot.

Communities are hard to handle, a lot of people from this generation are being influenced to be brittle on the internet and it's hard to keep your community from turning into a hugbox without creating backlash and being called out as insensitive.

I could give two shits about the colony stuff, new dungeon puzzles is all I really care about.
[QUOTE=bisousbisous;48537997]kek, you sure proved him wrong[/QUOTE] oh boy u sure got me there!!! His inability to do even the most basic of research is not my problem.
[QUOTE=Cmx;48537135]Wait, Chucklefish doing actual work? What is this madness?[/QUOTE] are you kidding? do you not follow Chucklefish or something? :v: has the huge fuckin winter update not made you happy?
Um so do the npcs in colonies actually do things?
[QUOTE=Sharker;48538200]Um so do the npcs in colonies actually do things?[/QUOTE] They give you things.
[QUOTE=Sharker;48538200]Um so do the npcs in colonies actually do things?[/QUOTE] so far afaik the npcs offer goods and pixels as rent depending on the tier of housing you build them, unsure if they offer other services atm
[QUOTE=Tuskin;48538210]They give you things.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's about it. They move around and interact with eachother and furniture too, which works very well, but is still only for flavour.
[QUOTE=Sharker;48538200]Um so do the npcs in colonies actually do things?[/QUOTE] I think the non generic colonists (you get them by building special housing, there's examples in the video) might give you unique stuff.
