Has Astride gotten any better? 

I agree, this game is just not cutting it for me right now, they shouldn’t have released it with the expectations we had for the pre release trailer. Disappointed to say the least

agreed, its been in development for my knowledge almost 2 years, and a literal roblox game that hasnt been released yet is getting released this year and has barely any more months in development then its getting released for free with great graphics, models, and overall gameplay! its called ecos la brea if you were wondering ( sorry to compare but the time its taking for a realistic game in general compared to a veru realistic FREE gamr on roblox is just insane. )

@@ykavaaahey, it’s a good comparison don’t apologize when a random roblox creator is doing better then a independent company

I looked like an ominous super villain who got beat one to many times from Batman

I definitely see it, its so unfortunate that that's how they advertised their product.

That's a dumb excuse from them. There is absolutely no reason to upgrade from a previous Unity version if it's LTS as it's still supported years after the fact. Especially upgrading to a newer engine version when there's extensive breaking changes is never done on game projects that were already started unless there is a huge blocking issue that completely stops the development dead in its tracks (very rare occurence). No competent game developer does this. And even still, upgrading from Unity 2019 for example to 2022 does not require a complete remake of the game. They're just exploiting the fact that most people who support them don't know enough about game development to call them out on their excuses... people really need to stop wasting money on this, unless they want to be featured in another one of the many "Scam Kickstarter MMO" videos at some point in the future when the project gets abandoned 🙄

The whole thing was a year ago so I really didn't remember a whole lot of details, So here's some corrections; the trailer was simply a proof of concept, technically it was a game but it didn't actually work well, exact quote from statement; "the programming of what was already been made was simply not viable" After the trailer and such, they joined an actual company(Green horse). To prevent tech-debt later on they started basically from scratch. Then Unity added a major framework update way before expected, meaning they had to rework a lot of stuff to fit the new framework. Basically, they had to restart development twice in the span of 6 months(with one programmer at the time). They only released so early to fit with a contract with the government for funding. Initially they had a smaller game in mind. They wanted to wait another year before releasing it on steam but that wasn't an option with the contract. They meant to be more clear on the state of the game when it was released but they didn't do that well enough(they admitted that themselves). TLDR; the game that the trailer showed didn't actually work very well and needed remade. Then a multiple things, joining a new company, the Unity engine changing it's framework way earlier than expected, severely affected their programming progress. They only released such a barebones game to comply with a contract for funding. This is the youtuber Rattle's video about the whole event. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jKDZrOb9IiQ.htmlsi=kHM7tWn4BaEB26Q9

It’s kinda sad if you have to make your own content in a game that you paid for

I agree, this game just seems to be lazily done at this moment. I hope they can make some real improvements soon.

God I wish others talked about these issues more, I see others saying how pretty it looks and it just doesn't... the lighting is so harsh and the textures just look off to me? but the shine on the horses annoy me the most

@@littylove6192 Yeah the textures look so wonky because they have no transition to others. The stone paths are way to closely meshed, the would need to make them more irregular to make it look less painted. I do game design thats why i see all these flaws.

@@lysiah3383 That does make more sense

I hope it goes down the right path. 😊

I think the issue was I should have turned down the game more, i forget how loud these are and have no clue how to separate my game and mic audio in settings

But SSO is also slowly dying more and more and is what 13 years this year? This game is still in development so there’s hope yet

Good, then dont :)

How about constructive criticism? Whining "mimimi its so bad" without any input how to improve etc is just lazy and makes you look like a dumb hater lol

if you don't like it then don't watch it lol
