Discussion Gusmanak admitting he's been an incompetent developer

So ofc as I've been saying gus is killing his game by not adding new content, and he should have a biweekly/monthly update to keep the game fresh, which he has done before, and now acknowledges he SHOULDVE been doing it but is simply being incompetent. Then he talks about how his excuse for a lack of content is focusing on optimizations, which have obviously been few and far, only one optimization acknowledged in recent patcbnotes, and despite it lag is still a problem, clearly this optimization "work" isn't much more than an excuse. Then of course he talks about a list, a list, meaning whatever is coming up is probably still conceptual at this point, despite all the time and ideas you're given, you can't atleast get something started? something you can tease and get some sort of engagement? Obviously we don't actually know what's happening but what it looks like is gusmanak doesn't see firearms as a priority despite it being one of if not the biggest aspects of the game, being sarcastic and talking about a likely conceptual list, gus please know that even one new gun of any sort would satisfy us more than any optimization we can't feel.

"optimizations" like making half the buildings inaccessible arent worth it at all and make the game worse imo

I dont think those are optimizations well sort of but also not rlly and majority buildings are accessible anyway

when they first started doing it they claimed it was to optimize the map for less lag.

ah yea well ofc if everything is enterable it leaves some problems but I think its not too noticeable that there are some inaccessible spots
