Normally, we were getting a patch every month or so... except for when they threw all resources into the engine upgrade... then it was a bit longer. Black Tower is fairly new and the next patch will be their first... give them a bit of time to get used to the coding in the game. They did not code it. It may be a while longer before we see their first patch, but I would rather they take their time and do it correctly. No one wants another patch that screws up the game more than it fixes. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rushing such work will give us a ton of new bugs and issues. I'd rather wait for a quality update. It will come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragonfire82877 1,066 Posted October 26, 2018 @Brian76, they started on that game earlier this year, it was originally called Project Melies. The announcement of the name change shouldn’t effect maintenance on Friday the 13th. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyBallo 133 Posted October 26, 2018 Guys the game is fragile due to very incompetent development from the previous team. A little change will fix one issue and create 3-4 more. I think we will never have a proper bug fix because it seems that the problems are in the structure of the code and changing that would require a huuge effort. This is what happen when you don't fix bugs properly from the beginning but find easy workarounds to solve issues (e.g. you have problem watching the map while climbing the window -> you don't solve that problem but just don't make it possible to watch map). I have to confess that I'm hoping that next update will happen as far as possible, or never. At least now the game is playable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bug here and there may make it harder to bear at times, but playing is still possible. I wouldn't discourage updates, as a future update could fix some of the major problems. People have four options: 1. Play the game (despite the bugs) and cope with it as it is. 2. Play the game (despite the bugs) and voice your discontent. 3. Take a break from the game, and come back from time to time and see if things have improved. 4. Give up on the game, and uninstall it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to confess that I'm hoping that next update will happen as far as possible, or never. At least now the game is playable. Quite a few different things can cause bugs to happen... Remember the A.I. bug on that aliens game... no one could fix it for years... then it was discovered the entire problem was cause by an extra "A" in a single word. It is now fixed. I cannot name a game that is bug free... can you? You cannot say a different team will do the exact same type of job as the last team without seeing their work first hand... That would be like claiming you can see the future. They have not released a patch for this game yet. And I hope they take their time and do it properly. As far as not being able to look at the map when climbing through a window or in any other animation... I did not like that at first either, but it is far more realistic. Try looking at your map while setting up a bear trap or climbing through a window in real life... let me know how that works out for you... That was a joke... do not try this at home, I would not want to see you hurt yourself. This is pretty far from game breaking and forces you to look at the map as you would... in real life. I have no problem with no being able to look at a map while in an animation... more realism in a game makes it better, not worse. When I point this out, I usually get a reply of... you know this is a game right?... Well, duh! of course its a freakin' game... and more realism will make it better. Next it will be o.k. to add a disintegration gun or a flying car into the mix... after all... its only a game... right? If you want less realism... then pong may be the way to go... or perhaps, Pac Man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The “more realistic” argument doesn’t wash for me because we aren’t playing from their point of view, we are playing from a third person perspective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The “more realistic” argument doesn’t wash for me because we aren’t playing from their point of view, we are playing from a third person perspective. You are assuming that these counselors have been here before, or been here long enough to know the maps as well as us players do. Many of them would need a map... but this is also assuming that counselor knows how to use one... Many more people in the 80's could use maps than can today. Just using the movies as an example here... the only people in Part 1 that knew the area at all would have been Steve Christie, Pamela... and perhaps Ralph. In Part 2, everyone just arrived... only Paul even knew anything about the area. In Part 3... it did not appear that any of Chris Higgin's friends had ever been there before, even her good friend Debbie had to ask "Where is the bed.".... If the counselors in game knew anything about the area... most of them would have chosen a camp far from this place to get a job at. Hope you get my point. Realism works for some things, and for others it throws balance out the window. We use the map for different things than the counselor would be using it for (if they were real). They would not be using it to find a part in the woods... or see where anyone else is... The only thing realistic about map use is the one point that we cannot use it while doing something else now... This is far from game breaking and helps players that immerse themselves in the gameplay with their immersion. You still have your mini map to consult (also not realistic). Also... third person view in a game is still POV without having to look through their eyes... and also makes combat such as it is done in this game far easier than when you try this kind of thing in 1st person view. The third person view gives a more realistic representation of your surroundings than a 1st person view can ever hope to accomplish... the only unrealistic thing about it is that you can see your own back without a mirror. Either way, you are controlling the counselor you are playing... which makes it their point of view, no matter which view of the character you are playing... so your argument against having a few thing made more realistic when possible "because we aren't playing from their point of view" does not wash with me. Just whose perspective do you figure we are playing from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha colonial Marines, yeah I read about that fix. A lot of that game was outsourced which could've added to problems That's what this game feels like a bit to me, not saying it was, but chunks may of been outsourced.

That was the game I was thinking of... thanks. Although outsourcing could have been a problem, the error screwing up the A.I. in that game can only be put on the guy that typed in that extra "A". It is after all, something that could be very easy to miss. Who knows what the issues with this game are all about... bugs and glitches can be caused by errors like this... or conflict with another line of code... or a bunch of other crap. Hopefully Black tower figures it out. Its always better to do the job correctly the first time... instead of the work needing to be fixed later. But doing the job correctly takes time, and rushing it is never recommended... that's how mistakes slip by you. And going back to fix it after the fact takes... more time than it would have taken to do it right the first time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
