Ikr its really dumb, they are hiring the devs, programmers and all but they probably spent the last month on this stupid ass animation lmao.

You're getting content in a few weeks and you're upset over an animation.

Whew.

I don't think he is upset.

8 months is a long time to wait for a substantial update.

One of the excuses put forth was the small design team (lack of human resources).

I think it is more than fair to question the point of this 1:47 video. It certanly wasn't a demo using the game engine. It didn't have any dialogue. The only text was at the end "Coming September 16th"

If you research animation costs online you'll learn that a 2 minute animation can cost between $20,000 and $200,000. For a team reluctant to hire programmers, this might seem like a questionable choice to some.

If they indeed spent 200k on the animation, and average pay scale for programmers is 40-100k, than one could argue they might have been better served hiring two more programmers.

I would have much rather viewed some kind of cinematic that actually featured some of the new mechanics, and I would have rather seen this cinematic done using the game engine.
