Alpha 17 rumors/expectations

[knoest26]

They do lack an open roadmap, I know some people prefer to be 'surprised' by what they find but I think a majority of the community would like Introversion to say whether they are interested in suggested features.

Like I said, a tiny roadmap can be found on .png files of prison architect and materials.txt

My opinion, they should post a small roadmap because Prison Architect has looooong future with a lot more alpha updates awaiting.

Do you people open all your Christmas presents on the 23rd or something? Or am I the only one who genuinely enjoys all the days of the month between 22nd and the next alpha?

The game doesn't "Need" a public roadmap, Citizen. Only you need it, and knoest26's army of desperate soldiers who also need it.

If the developers prefer to surprise us, that's their prerogative. The game has been successful thus far, so there is no emergent need for it.

Like thekillergreece has mentioned, the game files will suffice.

Cool, as the general of my desperate army I would like to tell you I would just like to see some intended features. I would however file this under the 'more communication' need, which I ( 'I' as in, my opinion, what I think) that community would like to see. And yes I tested that and made a survey which showed that 60% would prefer some more communication.

Could you please tell me when I became a in charge of an army and when they turned desperate?

When you yourself became desperate for the aforementioned road-map, and claimed that the majority of the community agreed with you. You earned your position by stating Introversion "Lacked" an open road map. It's their choice to not have an open road map, so stop smothering them god damn it.

I can't remember begging Introversion, nor forcing them, to make a road map. I just think that if they want to have a community supported game a roadmap would be nice. There is no need for you to attack me for that.

I'm not remotely desperate for a roadmap because I have plenty of knowledge about the gamefiles and I can get lots of information from that, I just can't read minds so I don't know how and when they plan to implement certain objects/rooms.

And I based my 'claim' on comments I've read on the forums, If you could show me more comments of people who don't want a roadmap than I can show you comments of people who do want it I'll happily go with your statement and except it as the truth. Considering we probably both have a life to live lets not do that though but at least you know how I came to that conclusion

Apologies then, however understand that my anger generates from those who are persistent in requesting such privileges non-stop, and expect to receive gold from Introversion. It's the sheer ignorance of work and time that the staff must go through to make the game as good as it can be, while some people just kick at the staff for not giving them perfection.

Citizen, is who tipped me off. Expecting a fucking road map after a year that the game has been in alpha is irritating.

Again, not asking for promises or guarantees, just "speculating". There, I said it, happy?

Perhaps I misread your original post, but the phrasing seemed to indicate that you were looking for something more than speculation. In fact, you asked if anyone had any knowledge about what was coming. It was not clear to me that you were inviting speculation, and my intent was to help you by noting that no one but the developers has any actual knowledge about what is going to be in the next alpha.

Do you really always have to be a smartass? If it makes you feel happy, keep doing it but it gives people a negative impression of you.

And for the items, the carpenter table was indeed said to be put in the game at an unspecified time but the guardlockers were put into the materials.txt so during Alpha 15 so they might have been working on that. The Large TV's were removed before Alpha 9 because that's when I started and I never built one.

Bu- but, that's what makes xander hilarious in this forum! You wan't him to talk mindlessly like a robot?

[Rafe]

Damn shotgun racks?

I've been able to suppress most of my riots and unless i have a major ratio imbalance of guards to prisoners.

Are they gonna turn up the heat with prisoners ?

Dude.. As irritating or annoying as it seems, there are many, many "beginners/first players/or newbies" out there. Some people simply just don't understand the meaning of an alpha and or working in progress kind of thing. Some things you see over and over again. And yes, that can be annoying, as being a person who knows it. But be real; you probably did asked some fair square of "stupid" questions yourself during your life time. You didn't know while others did, and back then you probably looked at as a newbie/beginner. Everybody has to learn at some point. Maybe instead off getting pissed of; guide them a bit. Better for the anger

[RGeezy911]

I don't think Citizen asked, to me he simply demanded what he was looking for:

You being ridiculous on purpose? I'll rephrase for Mr. literal, the game needs a public roadmap it's been over a year.

To each their own, I'm not going to bother with it any further...

You lost the moment you became visibly angry, Rcheezy

The game needs a roadmap. We need to know what is planned so we can properly offer feedback. That's the deal. That's why we are playing Alpha. If it upsets you that people ask for and discuss things you don't want/need, then I suggest you remove yourself from this place we call a discussion forum.

I believe there was a roadmap laid out before. The problem is that I don't exactly feel like Iv is following it.
(Kinda like how Mojang was with mine craft.)

You consider yourself as participating in a "discussion forum" by naming people differently? "Rcheezy" is the best of your personality? Is this how you conduct yourself in life?

You have nothing to contribute, your suggestions are as meaningless as the penny to me, and your nickname should be "Degenerate" instead of "Citizen."

Additionally, you can give sufficient feedback on the current features of the game. You partially know what is being planned by viewing the Alpha Release videos, and the game files. You don't like that? Go cry elsewhere you child.
