    So I'm checking out the mobile version of the forums again to see if it looks better, and it looks so bad, I don't think the devs have looked at the mobile version after updating because if they did they would fix this....

    If you want to know what I'm talking about go take a look.

    They'll probably update it soon but when you use your phone horizontally it's not that bad!

    Still though, we have to wait 4 more months for the module that should have been out already by now its ridiculous. Especially since this is only a social module, no jobs or crime..

    Nothing "should have been out by now" they miscalculated how much time it took and with the bigger funding probably wanted to add more things to the module than was originally planned.

    You don't need to remind them not to rush. They are in no hurry whatsoever!! haha. These people have stolen our money and have people like you defending them. I check back here every few months to see if they have even attempted to release anything tangible. They haven't. The 1st module was supposed to be out in MARCH 2017 and that has been pushed to the point that next march is only about 4 months away...haha. You making another dumb update being "on their side" is part of the problem. I've already kissed my money goodbye and now I just come here for humor. You should do the same because you  are never playing this game. None of us are.

    If you have no faith in the game or developers, that's fine. But do not annoy people who have patience and understand game development with it.

    As a gamer with professional experience in product management, and having worked on a life server in the past, I find it interesting how every new game gets the "It's never going to happen" treatment. 

    Regarding your worries about the development process, if you have never worked in software development or ever had a go at setting up your own altis life server, I encourage you to try it!

    What you will find is a never ending list of things to implement, bugfix and balance. I worked at it in a team of 3 and you very quickly realize the amount of time it requires to make a product people want to play. I spent many many days working 14 hrs or more on the project. Then I would hop on to an Asylum server and see they added 10 different things and balanced this or that, all on a network of servers to cater to 400 people at a time. Its impressive.

    Now completely change game engines, learn what its limitations are, change development languages, and all the new math you need to figure out AND get it to work together nicely together with everything else without so much as mistyping a single semicolon. It takes even more time. 

    Honestly the little bit of video and media they have presented seems impressive to me. 

    As far as people get concerned with a lack of constant updates,  my best guess is they are too busy working on the backend(as they stated + videos of lines of code aren't as sexy as a pile of drugs and guns) and having to balance that with a need as a company to manage their public relations and put their best foot forward. It all takes time. 

    On the business side, they just hired more people on, rented an office. As someone who has run a company making first to market products, these steps by Asylum certainly DO NOT scream to me, scam artists!  What it does seem like, is they are pushing FULL forward to making the game they, and others could see that altis life could be.

    And as far as the release date for the alpha goes, yea it's hype by them, but they definitely need those that support it to tell their friends and raise more cash $$$.  Someone might say, but they raised "800k-1million dollars!" I can't say for Canada, but in most of the US, every employee a company adds, their payroll costs the company like 15-18% more than what you see at face value. So if they now have 10 employees(idk) they might have this year covered but I'm sure they still need more.  That's not forgetting, but not getting,into the interpersonal dynamics of running an efficient team while keeping them motivated and on task.

    Making ANY new product takes a lot of time and balls. Maybe some have done it faster and more that you never hear about quit, not every game is developed by a 1 man wonder, sometimes it's just regular people with passion for an idea. 

    Asylum didn't let me down as a casual on their Arma servers and with the 10 Oct update I don't have any reason to believe why they would now. 

    Amen! *Drops mic*

    Thank you for answering some of my questions! :):) 

    I'm sorry but I think you're expecting a too high level of detail, all this would be awesome but it sucks to be dissapointed.
