So Jussi, what are plans for next version of DSJ?

You are probably referring to possibility to see CPU player's jumps? I don't have any new ideas for that. The implementation was quite weak in DSJ3 and with the DSJ4 physics it would be even weaker.SuperAdo111 wrote:Any plans on 3D simulation?

Is there any chance for this in upcoming versions? I know it's quite hard to do, but would be a really nice feature to have.
Sorry, no. The development of DSJ4 is pretty much on hold due to reasons discussed earlier. But I may still release some smaller updates later if I come up with something nice.maftei.alin wrote:Jussi you have plans to release a new version in this summer with 1-2 hills? Hinterzarten mayby ?
Yup. Real shame, but I can live with it. Thanks for quick response.Jussi Koskela wrote:You are probably referring to possibility to see CPU player's jumps? I don't have any new ideas for that.

I don't think it makes sense to release new versions during summer when both real life ski jumping and DSJ are off season. Probably better to release updates when as many as possible are likely to notice. You can still use your subscription to dominate summer GP: the way it seems to me is that anyone participating in all of the competitions has a fair chance for top 5... Anyway, wouldn't say you've lost too much: online subscriptions are really cheap, like what: 10€/year? To me that's less than four days worth of student lunches for a whole year of DSJ online. Personally, I'd be prepared to pay even quite a bit more than that.Areen wrote: Me damiit, so why I paid you for next year subscription? I believed that you're gonna do something meanwhile summer time for next winter, but now I see that it was a big mistake. As a developer I'm very disapointed with your "campaign" to get more players to this game.
It's not Jussi's fault that you bought subscription for another year. You can still play the game even though new hills are not beign made. The game is still the same, so why complain.Areen wrote:Me damiit, so why I paid you for next year subscription?

I'm sorry but I gotta respond to this. What exactly was supposed to be promised? Can you include a link to any official announcement or statement either here at forum or on the website where Jussi actually promised something?Areen wrote:I complain about that this game is not finished as it was promised. I support a developer which product will be updated and bugs gonna be fixed, but Jussi is about to drop his game at point when there is still lack of many hills and features. It's not raging or something, it's criticism.
