A few days ago, "Contempt" officially announced the news of jumping tickets, but mentioned CDPR's "Cyberpunk 2077" in the blog. The Defiant team believes cyberpunk 2077 should have jumped out of the vote for another year, but the hype and pressure from shareholders are more important. The Contempt blog also stated that "if these shareholders don't force developers to produce promotional content, then they will have more time to fix the game." ”
The statements sparked some controversy, leading to an apology from Ljubomir Peklar, CEO and creative director of Defiance Developer EbbSoftware, on Kickstarter.
"I read the article quickly and casually and approved it," he said. Read through it again and it will be clear that the hostile tone in the article should not be the way we express ideas or plans to those who help us. We may be tired, confused, and frustrated with our own incompetence, but there's no reason to be mad at you. For this, I personally apologize. I will do everything in my power to make this runaway situation no longer happen. ”
In the original blog, when asked what the development team has been doing since the trailer was released last October, the article replied: '
"There's no big revelation here. We're just working on a game and nothing else. As far as game development is concerned, a year is not a long period. Some people really, very dislike our silence for so long. There are several reasons for this. The only thing that makes a game come out faster is to focus all your energy on development. That is our main priority.
There's a reason why big companies show CG trailers made by other studios. They don't want to interrupt the development team during production. CD Projekt RED did a good PR for Cyberpunk 2077, but it didn't help the final game. Cyberpunk 2077 should have been delayed for a year, but the hype and pressure from shareholders is more important. Maybe if they don't force their developers to create marketing content, they can spend more time fixing the game.
No amount of updates will make the game any better, or make it available faster, quite the opposite. This will only allow you to add more tasks to the already massive amount of work content. Making your game look decent to the public is very time-consuming. This needs to be done in the final stages of the development process. ”
