It's sad but true, this game is advancing every time slower, it will eventually stop.
It sucks, but we can't do anything.

P.D: sorry if I misspelled something (me suck at english )

I'm with Data 100%.
While his development speeds may not be particularly zoomy, and his PR isn't the best, he still seems to work in a way thatreminds me very much of myself, and I can sympathise.
If he's anything like me, it's probably his passion for the project that gets in the way the most: there are simply too many posibilities
to know where, to start, and that can be a major hinderance.

In the meantime, I'm having fun!

You are basing your conclusion of a pattern from about 2 builds at most. Oversimplification of a system leads to incorrect results. Data's build release frequency is not able to be modeled after a simple function, as you are implying.

It seriously disappoints me how Data treats the people who have paid him for his work and who have kept his project alive while he ignored it. He acts as if they are completely unimportant. This community is the only reason Cortex Command is even on the map, and it seems like Data doesn't see that. Regardless of the content of B24, it really makes me regret getting the "support the developer" edition. Feels like he couldn't care less about any of us.

I understand that Data has a life outside developing, and that's fine. It's simply rude, however, to completely blow off the ones that have helped you flourish.

Nothing wrong with lazy people.

Anyway, the more "invisible framework" work is done now, the cooler things we will get in future updates.

I'm chill and actually having fun with B24.

Not very many people are not having fun with B24 as such. From what I understand, much of the discontentment is due to perceived 'let-downs' in terms of expected and delivered content.

The only issue I have with this build is that it keeps locking up near constantly for me.

I have big hopes for B25 however.

[This is directed at the people who are angry, not just you.]
He hasn't blown us off. Well at least I've never been close enough to him physically for him t- ANYWAY he gave us this for $20. and he's still updating it. Whoopdeedoo. It's a small game. Carry on with your life. You're all getting far too worked up about not very much. I've been here for quite a few years now and I've seen CC in states that would make you cry at how basic it is compared to now.

I've also seen people get so worked up about CC not being updated/Dan not caring/Emotional issues, do something stupid and leave. Or they get fed up and leave. Whatever, this community will still continue when you decide to ragequit, and Dan will still be doing his own thing because that's what he damn well wishes to do. I want to point out that He has no obligation to care about you. You gave him your money, you received CC. Fair deal no? You've also got a mountain of incredible mods to bolt on. So stop whining about Dan being rude, grow a pair and start the constructive criticism before I wield the hammer.

I don't see why people can't still have fun with B24 with the dissapointment.
Maybe he has a mockup of the campaign in there, but he intentionally locked it to prevent further complaints?

What the ♥♥♥♥ is it with people?

Data releases a new game with loads of new game modes, and you spit in his face. I, for one, enjoy the new Harvester mode. Never before have I had an actual reason to make the effort to mine gold - now I do. The new game modes add loads of playability to the game itself, and you guys are sad because the game isn't 'finished'? Well, that just means there's more stuff to come! What's not to like?!

I'm not worked up, I'm just disappointed. It's like when a kid idolizes someone their whole life and then they finally get the chance to meet them, and find out that they're a gigantic ♥♥♥hole. I'm not leaving or quitting CC, I just have less respect for Data.

I know Data is under no obligation to give a ♥♥♥♥ about us, but it seems quite presumptuous to simply take all of our money and then proceed to act like we don't exist.

I can think of many video game corporations and franchises that screw their fans over. Dan is just one guy and has lots of stuff to do. Everyone here is worked up over nothing. The disappointment will fade to a blip in the back of your head. I've supported Data for what nearly four years now, maybe five if you count lurking. I've bought two support packs and god knows how many standard packs so I've pumped my money into fuelling Dans raging habit of gold plating everything he owns and I'm not the least bit disappointed by this whole debacle.

CC isn't and shouldn't consume your life. Just go do something else if you're getting so annoyed, then come back and play CC for ten minutes whilst you're waiting for a track to mix down or something, it's a small game. He did give you a game for the money you've given him, It's not as if he is under a contract to brofist you and buy you beer every time you come here. This is a Fan Forum, not a dev tracker. Stop saying you're so disappointed because you have what you paid for. All of this ♥♥♥♥ is annoying me and will lead to bans if you can't grow up and suggest stuff that will make things better.

Hey, I just now realized that post back there was my very first one on these forums. (while this account has existed for quite some time now.). So eh... hi guys.

Anyway, I agree with Seraph. I expected more from this build, but I am not disappointed, just surprised that Dan choose to focus so much of his time on invisible things this time. Those things will probably give a solid foundation to the new features in future builds, so it's probably not a bad choice (or just a cover-up for his laziness, which is fine to. )

The whole thing was well worth the money allready, every new build feels like a bonus to me.

I don't think any indi game designer with any sort of fanbase "acts like they don't exist", where did you get that idea from?

Dan doesn't act like the community doesn't exist, he simply lets us live our own lives for quite the while then swoops by and says hi.
