keeping us up to date

[RA]

I realize that the devs are busy at work and there isn't a timetable available to the public. However it would be nice to see regular updates on the front page blog as to the progress of the project. Back when the developer blog was introduced, there were updates that helped those not involved in testing feel connected and this was greatly appreciated. Recently, however, the updates have become rare.

If a decision was made to make at least one update post every two days, it would go a long way towards keeping the community happy. I realize that not everyone can be placated; however, the rest of us would be very appreciative of an effort to keep the community up to date. The update posts do not need to be very long (one or two paragraphs), and do not need to contain fancy screenshots or videos either. Just something to help keep the eagerly awaiting audience informed. If devs don't have time to do this, we would be happy to see something from a tester.

The issue is, we all have our hands tied.

The testers have lots of jobs to do too - but we still try to update via the POTD, and weekly scripting tutorials

Perhaps just assigning one or two people to the blog, a few devs or whatever to the tutorials and I dunno what else.

oh man, you have no idea do you

If its an issue of manpower, then recruit a couple new testers that would also promise to write an update every couple days. If you don't trust them, then have them write the update and one of the devs could give it a once over before posting it.

There are lots of people waiting to make a contribution to the project. Just give us a chance.

I think whenever the the devs have something to report, it will be reported. It's pointless forcing ourselves into a cycle of posting updates this frequently, as that would lead to making things up just to appease the community. There was already a widespread perception that this was happening with the blog, and the updates were posted much less frequently than you suggest.

The last update on the front page about the status of MTA was on Dec 31. That is over a month ago. Do you seriously believe that there has not been any change (for better or worse) in the status of the MTA DM project during that time? I would be fine with intermittent updates on the status if they actually happened.

I guess all the devs are currently doing is fixing bugs. And these bugs are so stupid that they are too ashamed to publish updates about fixing them.

[Brophy]

Not just bug fixing, school, jobs and rl also take a part too, one thing I find funny tho is that a few of you cant be pleased, you either moan there isnt enough updates, or when there are you moan they are crap updates that are hardly worth mentioning.... If there is something the team wants you to know they will post it

If I can learn to be patient, surely you guys can too. There are other things outside that door that keep me occupied and happy. They're not just on the PC.
