DLC Scandinavia

[rarespetrosanu]

I don't understand why the release of this DLC is takin' so long? March-April the release - damn they are so weird IMO
They should work with a bigger team to finish it quickly
ATS is weak in my opinion so they should concentrate on this DLC , Europe is better

They don't have the money it takes to have a bigger team. Employees cost you know. And for me the release window seems pretty reasonable.
Here are some videos that you should check out:





These videos contain loads of information about SCS's projects.

I know them , I saw them , Their work is very good but kind of lazy to build it so slow ....too slow IMO

[LoaderSaints]

In one of the videos Squirrel asks one of the mappers how many people are working on the map and the guy answered 5 to 10 people at a time. So basically there have been only 5 to 10 people making the map at a time. Making a detailed map takes time. Also the reason why it seems to take so long is testing. Game developers can not publish content as fast as modders because they have to make sure the new content works flawlessly with the already existing one.
We just have to be patient and wait. We shouldn't mock SCS, instead we should support and cheer them.

As said earlier, they are working as fast as they can, and just think that the more time the DLC takes, the more and better content we'll get. Remember, SCS is not a big company by any means.

So please just be patient, you complaining here will not change the fact that the DLC will be done when it's done, just like the next version of ProMods which the devs here continuously need to remind everyone about.

That's what I was saying. I'm sure SCS have got a big team working on it but on the other hand I have seen them more efficient before. Honestly though if you look at the shots from the video with the DLC that LoaderSaints added to his post, it's not what you call: a minute's work, is it?

Those tunnels and roundabouts are way beyond
Takes both talent and hard work

Is it prefabs and tunnel sections or some new type of model we haven't seen before? If it is then the render engine, editor and the lot that's has to be changed - tons of work and testing on a lot of different hardware combinations

Nobody wants to see a half done kind of EA release, no indeed

That is true.
And one should keep in mind that the engine (or stuff in there) get constantly changed, so that they have to retest the stuff to see if it still works with it....like with the mac release of the game which took them longer as expected for that reason (as written in the blogpost for the mac release).
