I see L&P hired a new PR guy on this forum 
Depends on the steak vice the burger. I don't need Lord Salisbury's steak or a round steak if I can get a 1 pound Angus beef burger perfectly cooked. Granted A New York Strip or Filet Mignon is preferable. But in my mind, he is bringing anything he cooks in 'Well Done', if we are lucky. Yuck! Medium rare FTW.I would rather things be done better than done quicker.
Do you want a steak tomorrow or hamburger today?

the same defense as sabertooth you are both one and the same.It's about 1/3 done. He has been working on it for about 4.5 years. At current pace it is 9 years until completion not 40.
Game development is not a sprint. It is a marathon.
You see there are 3 competing forces when you are in game production.
1) Quantity: How big is an update?
2) Rate: How fast between updates?
3) Quality: How much thought and extra effort goes into making the update great?
If you increase quantity then either rate or quality will suffer.
If you increase rate then either quality or quantity will suffer.
If you increase quality then either rate or quantity will suffer.
As a developer you must always make choices about this. You are going to need to give something to get something. It's impossible to have rapid update of huge quantity with great quality. At least one other area will suffer when you push in any one direction.
Your mathematics are faulty. At current rate we are looking at 1 PD per 2.5 years +. Times 18 PDs and the result is 45 years. If he can get production to 3- 4 PDs per year then we are going to see the possibility of completion. Yeah, ain't holding my breath. He has never reduced his PD rate.It's about 1/3 done. He has been working on it for about 4.5 years. At current pace it is 9 years until completion not 40.

Your reasoning is off. You don't take into account that the development has slowed down. According to the last year of dev, with 1 PD per year (being really optimistic) and 17 PD remaining, it would take 17 more years at this rate. Some PD could be shorter but it would be disappointingIt's about 1/3 done. He has been working on it for about 4.5 years. At current pace it is 9 years until completion not 40.
Any number of things can speed up or slow down production. Nobody has a crystal ball that will see what will happen.Your reasoning is off.

Sure but the trend has been to be slowing down and never went faster. Splitting PD in 10 parts seems to slow it down even more."Development Hell" can happen for any number of reasons. It's currently in a slower phase of development, but may pick up in the future or slow down who knows we have no crystal ball.
Wow! You read all 4311 pages. Impressive!discussion page 4311 .. u ppl have so much of time for these useless discussions
Statement of the year right there. lol...It's about 1/3 done. He has been working on it for about 4.5 years. At current pace it is 9 years until completion not 40.
Considering I don't play Aiden's tasks, I'm only expecting about 6 renders of playable content this update. So for me, yeah, not worth downloading, just to see Sophia enter the classroom, a render or two teaching the literature lesson, then her leaving. Maybe a couple of renders of a phone call for the Morello event.Sure but the trend has been to be slowing down and never went faster. Splitting PD in 10 parts seems to slow it down even more.
Though we should see an AWAM update more frequently, but if you don't play every paths you can skip a few
The thing is that in these 4,5 years AWAM NEVER speeded up, it only became slower and slower. Your 9 years estimate is way off. With the speed of last year it would still take around 18 years to complete, but that was last year. With the current speed we are looking towards an unsustainable 40-50 years. While I am not that old, I cannot be sure to still be here in 40 or fifty years."Development Hell" can happen for any number of reasons. It's currently in a slower phase of development, but may pick up in the future or slow down who knows we have no crystal ball.
I hope it gets finished some day.
i dont even read a complete sentence what u ppl discuss here ..Wow! You read all 4311 pages. Impressive!
The problem with the steak is that it doesn't come "tomorrow". It's promised for tomorrow and then it ends up coming 2 weeks later. By the time the steak comes you already died from hunger.I would rather things be done better than done quicker.

I don't agree with this at all because it's a very wrong way of thinking.Arguing about the length of time it takes to translate and localize AWAM misses the point. While I agree yihman1 that there's a lot more to localization than a computer can provide, it doesn't really matter when the rendering and illustrating is taking 5 months. After 5 months, who cares if translation take 10 days or 20? Even if L&P got the process down to 5 days, and it was flawless, there are bigger problems to worry about. It would be like arguing over fixing a leaky faucet in your bathroom. Yeah, sure, it's important, but meanwhile the roof is on fire. Let's prioritize the roof first.
Are you joking? This is so off the mark.It's about 1/3 done. He has been working on it for about 4.5 years. At current pace it is 9 years until completion not 40.
In this thread apparently we do, considering we've nailed his method and the way he thinks/delays update every time. Actually it wasn't that hard since the method hasn't changed since 2019."Development Hell" can happen for any number of reasons.

If you expand the leak in the faucet, that can take care of the burning roof. Sure, you destroy the house, yard and possibly the neighborhood, but the leak is solved, and the roof is no longer on fire.Arguing about the length of time it takes to translate and localize AWAM misses the point.

Then how did you compose your answer? Did you just take a guess at what might have been said? If you did you have a future as a psychic, or maybe a fortune teller. On the other hand, if you don't read a full sentence, do you think you might be on the wrong thread?i dont even read a complete sentence what u ppl discuss here ..
