    Depends which video you're talking about. For example, the crime video was featuring a lot of placeholders which some were very outdated. Worry not, those will be replaced. As for the Town Square videos, it doesn't look that bad in my opinion. I've seen videos of a few games in development where they focused on the graphics but had very poor game optimization and several bugs.
     

    Im talking about any of the TS videos of gameplay that are out on youtube, I wasnt referring to the crime video at all. Yeah that had a lot of placeholders and I get that. But the actual videos of people playing TS etc, it just looks like a poor engine, clunky animations etc.

    And do not worry, I shall not be investing a single cent more into this game. I got the cheapest possible option to play this epic beta when its out. I almost went for an upgraded package, and thank god I didnt! Anyone who invested in a car is going to be very disappointed, I don't think they will ever make it to the game before it crumbles. I wonder if they will get a refund tho? I would assume so as content promised to them wont have been delivered?

    I've seen a 2-man team make more than they have shown in about a half a year to a year's time before. 
     

     

    Agreed... I have seen Students final year projects with similar functionality and that was 8 years ago. 

    We have all these people saying 'you have to take your hats off to what this small dev team has done' and let's be honest... So far, they have created a virtual chat room about 500 square meters wide, with chess, karaoke and apartment customization... This isn't really groundbreaking stuff lads... this wouldn't have been groundbreaking stuff 10 years ago... 

    Watch the videos of this game on youtube and tell me honestly that it looks good and on par with other 2018 games? I'm sorry but it does not...

    maybe getting slightly ahead of yourselves here... Let's see if they managed to code the chess game properly first huh?

    There are all these hypothetical idea's coming out which are for the most part bloody awesome... but you have to remember who is coding this game and the resources available to them. If all this stuff was do-able by a tiny company... why hasn't a larger company like rockstar already included it all in GTA? It's not like they won't have thought of it?

    I used to work at a company that makes a very popular MMORPG. Just to add a single new feature to the game, it took months and months of coding among 6-8 developers, the same amount of time for the 6 VFX artists, then about 2-3 months in Quality Assurance with a team of 6. For one small aspect of the game... 

    All these idea's are just that... really good ideas... but I think if you want to see these ideas come to life... you are in the wrong place.

    the steam page can always be edited which is what they will do, they cant give a clear date yet because steam hasn't given this to them, once the steam page has been reviewed steam will review the build and give a date towards when the application will be ready to go. this is the date they will give to us on the steam page.

    asylum hasn't made up their mind as the release date is out of their control, its in steams hands. I hope this answered your question

     

    Cool, that makes sense.

    I am guessing we have about 2 hours until this thread is locked or deleted like many of the other threads that are being created.

     

    Just to state... I am asking a question, this is not me giving false information, I am querying something I don't understand.

     

    From reading about the steam verification process, I am under the impression that a lot of it is to do with having the store page reviewed to ensure it represents the game it is 'selling' accurately, not use cinematic images etc.

     

    We have been told that we will know a release date when the store page goes up...

     

    But they have completed and submitted their page... so surely inside that page is the release date? 

     

    If so... they have already made up their mind about the release date.... so why not just tell us? Why make us all wait even longer for the steam verification process to happen? It's these little things that literally look like Asylum is just fucking with us?

    Lol, u said "they delivered what they said" which isn't true because steam page is not there until end of October as they said

     

    I guess you are right... To be honest, I am just pleased that they did anything at all... I genuinely thought it was just going to be another fake deadline.

    least it would be some kind of proof instead of non updated dev blogs and trackers that dont work just saying it might just bring a bit of faith back

     

     

    Fair point. So you are assuming that they haven't actually submitted the game and they are lying? If that'e the case, then they will be outed in 2 weeks then the game still isnt there O.o

    But game is not on steam?

     

    Does it matter? If it was visible you still wouldn't be able to play it? They have given the files to valve.... it wont be playable until valve have approved it. What could you do with the steam page if it was visible?

    let's be fair... they said they would  publish to steam, and they have. Give credit where it is due, previously they have messed everyone around, but this time they delivered on what they said.

    for those who are asking 'where is the game', you have clearly not been following whats going on. 

    The game is now with Valve... They need to do checks on it before they release it onto steam. This should be no longer than 2 weeks.

    I corrected misinformation, what is fanboy about that?

     

    I think you just have the general reputation in the community as being Asylum's No1 fanboy. Well, I guess the only person in this community that still has an ounce of  faith  in this dated game. Essentially, there isnt any derogatory comment thrown towards asylum that you dont throw yourself infront of and defend with your life. 

    Don't get me wrong, you make a lot of valid points and correct a lot of mis-information which is justified, but it must be getting more and more difficult for you to stick up for them. Surely if this is not published to steam today, you will have to somewhat back down and let people vent without throwing in some loose defense for them?

    This release is the biggest joke in gaming history i think...

    Back in April/May people were taking the piss saying that it wont actually be released until the end of July... as an exaggerated dig at the process...

    We are approaching the end of October and it still isnt released. I'm literally only still here because it's hilarious and I cant wait to see the result when it is finally released in March next year. 

    NO RULES CHESS AND BODGED KARAOKE FTW!!!!

    BTW, anyone who would like to come and see my apartment in March (which will probably be identical to yours apart from the floor and wallpaper is more than welcome to! Forgive me if I don't come to see yours... you can just tell me what colours you have)

    I this this game is a scam/joke, I really do. I don’t think it started out this way and I don’t think it was ever their intention. Town square will be released at some point without a doubt. 

    but It’s going to be awful, nothing to do and maybe 10 minutes worth of game play. I’ve only been pledging for about 1.5 years and I feel i’ve Waited too long. Those who have pledged for even longer will b very disappointed. The game will lose the tiny bit of momentum it has left and the money will run out for the project. 

    Why am I still pledging? To watch all the fanboys run around an empty time square trying to convince themselves that everything it awesome and amazing... priceless! 😉

    Paypal doesn't help if you were one of the original backers. That was more than 180 days ago. They decided to take a big shit on the ones who supported them from the very beginning.

     

    Oh my bad...

    Sorry about that mate :S that sucks... I guess I would imagine because that money had already been spent in wages etc. 

    At least you can be proud to know that you paid for one of the 56 different tables, or one of the 43 pairs of pants :S

    If you want to see them bullshit someone try asking for a refund. All they do is give us the runaround.

     

     a few of my mates have requested the refund.

    you have to escalate it in paypal to actually get it, if you dont, you wont get anything. They both got their refunds in the end, and still got sent the Steam key and have their pledges :D

    it appears you can get your money back and still have access to the game - I guess we shall see next year when they release the module.

    did u not read the post?

    this is what we can thank them for ^

    it isn't just about what is available to us... they have put a lot of time and effort in their idea and they have accomplished a lot since they started, definitely for a development team with little to no experience. You can perfectly thank someone for their effort even though you yourself don't have anything playable.

    next time, read the goddamn post and you might get your information without needing to ask for it... and don't even bother to reply with "we cant thank them because we don't have anything to thank for" because that is your opinion... you don't want to thank the team, that is fine by me, but don't complain about the fact that others are thanking them. and don't tell them there is nothing to thank them for...

     

    Don;t get triggered son :)

    I thought there might have been something I had missed that everyone was buzzing for. Turns out, there isn't. Is the fact that we are pledging not a thank you in itself? 

    If I were to commission a painting... I wouldn't thank the artist for telling me that it's almost finished for 6 months with no evidence, or for showing me loads of different paints that could be on my painting, or if my artist was selling a load of other shit before they had finished the original painting. 

    However, upon delivering the painting... even if it wasn't up to scratch, or wasn't as perfect as I had hoped for... Then I would still thank them for the effort. Right now all we have is 'It's almost finished' for the 32nd time in the past 6 months, and some steam keys which mean jack shit. 

    Richard Dawkins once wrote a book called 'The God Delusion'. It was all about how science has proved that god does not exist. It's getting to the stage where he may write another one called 'The Identity Delusion'. It would feature extracts from all the fanboys on this forum against all the people living in the real world. It will be a thrilling read!

    The other modules have a big chance to be completed sooner, i mean they did remake this first module twice XD. If they dont have huge bumps like this in future development these other modules should turn up rather quick in comparison.

     

    I genuinely hope you are right!

    I would like to throw it out there since I think you've not seen it before, this module is the most focused and intense module as it is the very beginning of the game, further modules will be BASED UPON this MAIN MODULE (Town Square) and will be quicker to release. Of course, I doubt it'll take years like with this part, but consider this - a few more weeks of waiting is nothing compared to what we've had so far, then we get the real game and then we'll live on and see what else they offer us.
    Besides, I'm sure that once the game is out they'll get more budget and will allow to hire another full-time developer. Just an opinion, dunno if I'm being too optimistic or not but this is how I look at things.

     

    With regards to how Module 1 is the most focused and intense module... Whilst I agree that it is probably the hardest/most important one to get right, I don't think that it means that the other modules will be quicker to come to us...

    Think about the amount of job options that have been promised... the functionality to be able to do any of these jobs to an in-depth extent will require a hell of a lot of planning, coding and animations...

    Then you have to think about the economy, that will not be an easy thing to implement. I previously worked in QA for a games company, and I know that releasing an economy based piece of functionality takes a LOT of testing and planning. There were around 3-4 coders on that alone for 2-3 months and around 4-5 QA testers on it for around the same time, with the overlap, perhaps 4 months. Asylum have no where near that amount of resources, so that will take longer... and that is JUST for the economy part of things.

    yes the message is true and yes its correct

     

    Im hoping this isnt just another 'it's almost ready guys!' message... Although from experience, it most likely will be... Also... so what if we get a key to something you cant actually download? They could have given these keys out months ago and still be in the same position now.

    It does not mean a huge amount

    It's funny how people have to resort to name calling when other people offer an a different opinion.

     

    If you are referring to my use of the term 'deludeds' what else would you refer to them as?

    apologies if this offended you but call a spade a spade... Some who believes in something against any evidence and just because someone said to I would say was deluded. 

    And before you say what is my proof to believe in my view is this development is the absence. The absence of any true proof of solid development (aside from the 500 different wardrobe and jacket designs) and the absence of any actual belief from the devs. No one has the bottle to come forward and say 'this is what we are doing, this is how long it's going to take, and this is when we will release module 1. 

    And before you point me over to a bloody discord channel or twitch stream... Why is all this 'information' hidden in streams and on discord channels? If they have anything concrete to say, you can bet your ass it would be plastered all over every page on this website which it is not.
