Hyperbolica Release Delayed

[@tiggerbiggo]

So let's get this straight: > Better graphics > VR support > Potential QOL improvements > Will release in the same year as Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Why would anyone not be perfectly OK with this delay?

[@tharsis]

@@AndrewIHanna It's a remake with extras, I believe. They were porting it to consoles, but the licence for the Source engine is pricy, and it doesn't support current or next gen consoles anyway. They decided to remake it in Unity and add more to it (It's coming to PC too).

Lets be honest, pretty much EVERYTHING gets delayed. Doesn't matter if it's a Triple A title, a one man project, or a TV show. Stuff happens, it will get delayed.

That just means more development videos. I see this as an absolute win.

[@Manabender]

To quote the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad". I dunno about everyone else, but I *like* good games. Take as much time as you need. P.S. I know Miyamoto said that in a time before the internet was widespread and games could easily be patched, but it still applies to some degree. First impressions matter a lot, and a game with a bad launch will turn many people away, some of whom will never give the game a second look. For example, I hear No Man's Sky is actually good now, but I was drawn away by the bad launch. Were it good on launch, I might have bought it. But instead, it's currently relegated to an entry in my "games to maybe play at some point" list. I haven't bought it (yet). I am (at least right now) a missed sale. EDIT MONTHS LATER: Oh, heyyyyyy Cyberpunk 2077. I didn't see you there, what with having not been released yet when I first made this comment. Would you prefer to be the example I cite? Sure, you can be the example I cite.

I recently started playing No Man's Sky and have ~45 hours in game. Finished the main storyline yesterday night and now I'm basically free to explore. It's a *really* good game at this point, and I give it a strong recommendation. 😁

[@almogz9486]

Wait longer and get a better game? Seems like a great trade off.

[@marioghioneto1275]

Some games be like: “Yeah guys, we are gonna take 6 more months but you ain’t gonna have these features cause, you know, hard” You can buy the DLC tho

[@jacksonstein809]

I think having more time to polish the graphics will make an overall better game. Rushing game development is one of the things that can reduce quality, so I’m glad you’re taking the time you need!

[@notanimposter]

I'm so excited to hurl repeatedly just non-stop playing Hyperbolica in VR.

[@nickelpence]

The concept of the game is really good; it's not a good thing to rush it and ruin it; polishing it is the best choice; Take your time, and deliver us a game that you feel satisfied with!

[@Cheeeeseman]

Exactly! Imagine if Valve rushed Portal out with only the basic puzzle elements (portals, buttons, etc.) but without any of the world building, memorable characters, or environments. I don't think that it would have been the massive success that it was. So take your time and make it one for the gaming history books!

[@stubbsrulez99]

I appreciate that you're not putting the game out early, and you want to make it better. In the minds of big AAA companies (whose games I don't spend my money on anymore), the faster it gets out, the faster they get their payday. And the worse the game is because it was rushed. Take your time. Make your family a priority. :)

[@Programme021]

[@witmoreluke]

Don't worry about a thing man, the more time you spend on this the better it's gonna be. I think you're doing a significant thing here (especially with VR) by giving people an intuitive understanding of hyperbolic geometry just by being able to walk around in a hyperbolic plane! I think this project alone will give the world more math enthusiasts. It'll be done when it's done, I'm just happy you're doing it!
