It is still being developed, I just have no idea of the development's pace, as that's not discussed.

 

I can totally understand that this can take a huge amount of time to develop a software product but there should be some kind of transparency. At least when nothing happens (This is how it looks like for all of us "normal users") for more than a year.

 

In my opinion this is no good PR and should be changed drastically.

They don't charge money for it, though, so in my opinion they're not required to do anything, and they can suspend development whenever they want to.

(Not complaining, if the above sounded negative)

Of course they can suspend it whenever they want and they can take as much time as they want or need to. But this is a great community and I think it deserves a bit more transparency.

There was no information since 15 months and this is in fact a very long time even for a software system. I can say this because I am an application engineer for financial software systems. I know how complex this whole thing is.

 

I really love this mod and all I want to say is that there should be some more information or at least a small bug fix to give the community a health sign.

But this is just my opinion! Please dont take anything personal.

This answer is all I needed, as long as I can be aware it's still being developed I don't need to know the details, whilst some info occasionally would be nice, still WIP

works for me, it's free we're not really entitled to anything. Thanks Kallus.

Quite frankly, having worked on a larger scale modding-project myself for a while (many years ago) I suspect that development is not really moving forward at all. It's been almost 2 years since the last release. Phrases like "busy life" and "it's just a hobby" are standard phrases you get to hear when people have lost their motivation to work on a project, but are not ready to admit that or let the project go completely.

 

If progress is actually made, then I would really love to know in detail what has been done in the past two years. That's a reaaaaaally long time. And while the current version of LSPDFR is really amazing, stable and has lots of features... there is easily tons of other stuff that could still be added.

 

If the developers have lost interest and motivation in adding new features, that's completely fine by me. They have achieved AMAZING things over the past years. Not just by creating the mod, but also by creating and running this amazing community. And just to be clear, I am incredibly thankful for everything they have done for us. Having work on a project myself, I really do understand how much work is going on behind the scenes.

 

The only thing I am asking for is more transperency in terms of the current state and where LSPDFR is heading to in the future. No need for a Dev-Blog, just some simple information about what features are being planned and how far developed they are by now.

 

Thanks for your hard work!

I especially agree with this, they should at least let us now what they are working on. Otherwise they might be working on something which is not important for us (e.g. I'd  prefer a fix for the bug, that you can't stop people on foot after some time, over most features). More communication could also lead to more devs joining who might have more time/motivation.

Maybe we will have an LSPDFR update until 2018?
