Because working on something and describing it are two different things. Then once you've done your post, you have to get yourself BACK in your programmer mindset. It's not as easy as it sounds. That's what the mods are doing an excellent job of - sort of being a touchstone for us. I'm nervous, too. Based on what Raul has said, some things WILL be different - or at least in the initial rollout. But Raul has ALWAYS come through for us. He's a great game developer, IMHO. Keeps working at it until its awesome. I don't expect it to be perfect when it first launches. This is a HUGE deal so yes - I imagine there WILL be issues. But what I DO anticipate is that over time, everything will get smoothed out. That's what has always made Raul so awesome - he keeps working on a thing until it's good. He comes back to stuff and fixes it. None of us wanted to have to change - but we didn't have a choice. So I'm just planning to hang in there and wait and see.
But yes - it's all a bit nerve-wracking! I get it.  |
Sorry, I disagree. Regardless of what Taz said, the announcement was made in
July of 2017 and other games started conversion soon after. This was not a "last year" thing. I also disagree with the notion they cannot update. My son is a developer and he agrees with me stating it is expected for them to provide updates regularly to necessary people and such reports can be easily translated to a quick brief for "the public". I am not having an issue with any possible scenarios, even no Farm Town at all. I just pointed out that silence leads to speculation and rumor. THAT was my only point. And yes, waiting to start conversion was bad judgement. This should be a forum for honest, civil discussion but people voicing concerns have not had their concerns validated. This is disposable entertainment expense for me and I play other games, so will not go into withdrawal, but it is all a couple of my neighbors have. They have no family nearby, are older and are stuck at home and this is their main social outlet.
