I really hope this game gets the polish it deserves. I don't understand what the developer's thought process was. Out of the thousands that signed up for the beta, only 90 were accepted, and then they went ahead and released the game right after anyway. They blew all the hype, and for what? Were the early-access dollars worth releasing an unfinished product? It doesn't make any sense
I think it'll get there. They're gonna suffer numerous setbacks as the content drops continue to mess up the bug fixes. I think they were thinking that opening the game up for mass amounts of playtesting and feedback would give them a lot of free data that they can use to improve the game. But I agree that launching the early access in such an unfinished state has killed a lot of the hype for the game. They probably needed the cash injection from selling the Early Access version to hire more staff. The route they chose is to develop the game openly and quickly, rather than slowly behind closed doors. The drawback is that the game experience for people playing the Early Access version is rather bumpy. Don't expect something labeled Early Access to be a finished product.
Honestly they did say that the game was nowhere near ready, and they only released it due to how much demand. It's really stupid how many people get upset over an unpolished game when the devs stated they weren't planning a playable release for another year.
I'm expecting bug fixes in the next couple weeks and then probably the Shanty Town level near the end of February. I hope they prioritize fixing the stealth and attention systems and then an update for looting. (Already searched containers turn yellow, currently selected container gets highlighted in UI, guns appear inside same inventory as other items on the ground, etc.)
I like the idea of this game, but the gameplay feels so silly and idk they can fix that on the long run, for shure it will be a lot better but I don't it will change the amount I would like to.
It is still a thing. But you can get 5 days worth of water in a single minute. I have close to a years worth of water in the game and I don't even pick the stuff up anymore. If you like playing the game then water more or less acquires itself.

Didn't the recent bug fixes make stealth able again?
Yes. Stealth is fixed as of yesterday.

Fun Dog: You are not that guy
Us: But we want to be that guy!
Fun Dog: Gunhead.
Aint that the truth. Gunhead will likely be the subject of my next video on The Forever Winter.
Thanks for the work you do. Got any thoughts about what you'd like to see in the next update?

Great video. 👍
Stealth is borked? That would explain the troubles I was having getting back into the game in the new year
Good info man much appreciated
Nice. Now show us a video of you testing this out to showcase being "that guy."

I heard that the game has the fabled water mechanic that punishes you for not playing. Is that still a thing?
It is still a thing. But you can get 5 days worth of water in a single minute. I have close to a years worth of water in the game and I don't even pick the stuff up anymore. If you like playing the game then water more or less acquires itself.
