BuzzerBeater Forums

They buy the game, update the payment system in like, 2 weeks, create a trusting enviroment in the beggining and now the're gonne for like a year? Seems like a "dad is just going to buy some cigs" situation but in this one I'm paying for the cigs but hey maybe he will come back, who knows xD

It has been 2 years since the new owners took over. The owners rarely respond, if at all. I know that there is a lot to code, but if one person works on it, then he will code it for 5 years and that is very bad. If there are more people working than there should be, then everything goes very, very slowly. Can we get some information about the progress?

A small update of how the work is going would be appreciated.

It is only one year ago, but nevertheless, an update would be nice.

I love this game. However, the lack of communication is just too bad

Please make it right if you are reading this thread.

Information, communication with the user is very, very important. It's essential to inform, to explain what's being done, what's being worked on, where things are headed, etc. This builds trust, security, and credibility in the game.

Not doing so, not informing, not communicating with the user (other than stating a few obvious things) leads to the user not trusting, having no security, and losing credibility in the game and with the new owners.

And that, rightfully so, they'll believe they're just selling snake oil.

Until such time that the owners post any update on the current state of the game then I'm not paying for any subscription for this game. It's been that way last year and looking at the latest news for Season 69 looks like I'll pass again this year.

We're not asking for a weekly public audit, just information on how things are. A "we're working on the code" or "we're developing a new interface" or "we've analyzed it and for now, we're not touching anything". Is a little bit of information about how things are once a season too much to ask?
The Italians are masters in the art of selling anything, but honestly, they don't seem like it. Are they sure they're not North Koreans disguised as pizza makers?

As mentioned in previous communications, we prefer to share updates when we have something concrete to show — especially regarding the UI. The work we’re doing is massive: we are converting a 20-year-old codebase with thousands of files, many of which are highly complex. This is not just about rewriting code, but ensuring that, particularly in the engine, the new version behaves identically to the original given the same inputs.

Regarding the UI, we are actively working on it. However, progress has been delayed due to an urgent technical issue with another app we manage, which required our immediate attention. This temporarily slowed down our efforts on BuzzerBeater.

That said, we are fully committed to the project and will share progress as soon as we have something meaningful to show. It’s disappointing, though, to see that while the vast majority of users are patiently waiting and supporting us, a small group of 4–5 individuals continue to post out-of-context comments and unnecessary tags.

If you’ve tolerated the current state of BuzzerBeater for nearly two decades but suddenly feel the need to express impatience now, we kindly suggest reconsidering your approach — or your involvement — as that’s not the kind of community spirit we’re trying to foster.

Again, we’ll share an update when it’s ready. I don’t want to commit to specific dates because this is a highly complex project and unforeseen issues can arise. But when we do publish an update, we’ll make sure to highlight the immense amount of work involved so everyone can appreciate the scale of the progress.

As for the UI, we already have a few mockups of the main screens. However, we prefer to share them only once we’ve verified their feasibility in code. We don’t want to present a design that later proves to be unworkable or ends up not being used.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I truly hope this helps avoid further speculation moving forward.

Perfect! This is exactly what we all needed to hear, some minimum feedback so we know our position.
It wasn't that hard, was it?

Thanks, and all the best with your work.
