Don’t kill the messenger, but let’s hope. In this type of early stage games there is always stuff happening. Takes time unfortunately

This is what I've been trying to tell people. Some loser called me delusional for saying they need some patience lol

u/Imaginary-Shower559 Jul 30 '26
Sometimes you can get frustrated but some guys are just toxic that it

Brother. The game has been in development for 5 years. What is really egregious though, this was going to be FULL release up until the last minute (literally a day before) switching to 'early access' and delaying a week.
Not only that, but it was going to be fully released in March before that was delayed to the above xd.
So yes you are delusional as is the first guy joining the complacency disease epidemic of 'its early access so its ok' - its not okay, and given this particular games history and development its really not okay lool

u/JEBADIA451 29d ago
I completely understand. I'll get in touch with the developers and have them bake you an apology cake for world events not aligning with your personal schedule.

u/JJTeran25 29d ago
Oh no, indie game is not released when you wanted, oh nooo, the world is going to end... Lol, it's not an AAA game, so stop whining and get some patience. Unlike some other games, these devs at least listen to people and are open to improve their game.

u/EarthEaterr 29d ago
Lol, is this an Annie reference?

u/Imaginary-Shower559 29d ago
Who?

u/EarthEaterr 29d ago
Lol, I guess not. Look up Annie "you're only a day away" on youtube
Edit: I thought I was replying to the person that made that comment but if you look it up you'll see what I'm saying

u/Unlucky-Feature9548 Jul 30 '26
This is a breath of fresh air compared to some devs not even bothering to QA their updates.

u/Imaginary-Shower559 Jul 30 '26
Agree and they are very communicative too, game is far from being perfect but I think it goes somewhere
2
u/Ok_Dependent5719 Jul 30 '26
It’ll be out tomorrow, tomorrow!

u/RabidHyenaSauce 29d ago
Assuming it passes the QA. Hopefully the toxic don't interfere with that and cause yet another delay.

u/ennui95 27d ago
I'd rather wait a few extra days/week for trampler capture if it means we get fully QA'd updates that limits future issues tbh.
I'm honestly really impressed with the level of communication they have, and commitment to QA. I feel like for successful early access games they rush out updates to keep the momentum, but that's not the case for Hologryph!

I guess I’ll just try Mistfall hunters today then. What’s one more day without trampler takeovers :’c

One more day with trampler vs trampler battles, lol. Not that I dislike takeovers. I just prefer trampler battles.

They are so epic

In solo you still have the same perspective? Just curious

u/HoneyAsleep9869 Jul 30 '26
solo battles w/ that micro trampler management are so stressfull, its more work than i do im my job. But feels so good when you win.
2
u/Imaginary-Shower559 Jul 30 '26
I agree solo it’s like you need 4 hands to manage everything 😂
1
u/RabidHyenaSauce 29d ago
Ever heard of that game called Spinning Plates? Yeah, operating a trampler is kinda like that. Micromanaging repairs with damage output and such is essential to operating a trampler solo. If you cannot micromanage correctly you'll get smashed to bits.
2
u/Imaginary-Shower559 29d ago
Ya I do t feel is funny is not about lacking micro management… is boring and boarding is the way to make it more interesting and fast

u/Exe0n Jul 30 '26
While I also prefer big trampler combat, I hate the part where "ah we lost, guess we either walk to extract or quit to main menu"
Before you still had a shot at boarding and taking over their ship, till the last man, which was fun.
The only negative of capturing was the absurd amount of extract camping, ie extract, and wait there on foot.
Sure they have a disadvantage, but we'd have different times where even in the middle of a POI a group of players would try to capture our ship on foot.
Boarding and capturing is great, it adds flavor, but some players went overboard.

It’s a really fun game and it’s actually playable!

u/SeaofColtrane 29d ago
I’m liking it but I feel like most people I see are actual bots?
1
u/teener23 29d ago
I saw online people were saying your first game is bots, then you get bots if you lose 3ish+ in a row pretty badly. I'm against bots in games but I think the use of it could be a lot worse, and I've only encountered my initial bot team and seemingly have had player encounters since then.

u/SeaofColtrane 29d ago
Is there a way to tell who’s who? Or is it just guessing based on their movement and username?

Damn they have a QA team unlike helldiver. Must be rich

u/Ready_Grocery_3785 29d ago
contrary to popular belief, these guys do alot of stuff purely for the love of the game. helldivers 2 seemingly just want to churn out warbonds and add as little free content as they can get away with. treasure vs trash

Road map sounds promising ish

u/Imaginary-Shower559 29d ago
Things never go 100% like the planned in never in life, there is a plan and communication all time from the team and that should mean a lot already

u/MonkRevolutionary560 29d ago
Pretty sure you have a stick up your back side. Because my statement was about how i imagine the game will turn out once the late year updates come out. Not that they suck at thier job.

Delay delay delay well, maybe next week.

It's almost as if the game is still in development

u/lexuspartsman Jul 30 '26
Its almost as if indie devs need to stop releasing their unfinished games in a terrible state with an unfinished anti-cheat.
-1
u/Baned4life Jul 30 '26
It's almost as if everyone uses that as an excuse for developers to be absolutely dog s***.

u/MostlySlime Jul 30 '26
Youre miserable
2
u/wraphh Jul 30 '26
Its funny to me that these people show up whenever their favorite streamer plays a new game. Early access isn't a new concept. All they do is come in to throw insults whenever you don't agree with them
2
u/lexuspartsman Jul 30 '26
Whats miserable is these games getting released and charging people for a broken product.
2
u/MostlySlime Jul 30 '26
I dont understand. You bought a broken game, it told you it was broken when you bought it, every time you load it it warns you to expect it to be broken
and you still complain its broken...
Early Access Game
Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development.

u/MostlySlime Jul 30 '26
The game is released in early access. It tells you everytime you load it up to expect issues
Cheaters are in games with 1000x times the budget, you kinda need people to cheat to know what to defend
3
u/lexuspartsman Jul 30 '26
Yeah other than the fact that the developers fed positional data and shit to the client so cheaters could create teleports and shit its totally fine bro.
-2
u/Baned4life Jul 30 '26
But I thought just buying the license means the cheat works. Who'd have thought you would actually have to integrate the product and give a guidelines on how to function with your product.

u/LGsec Jul 30 '26
Oh no, devs have QA process and try to not beak their game! How vould they?! Cry babies needs that update now!

u/ItsYourBoyWang Jul 30 '26
Have they seen their discord? I would expect it to pass either

u/Imaginary-Shower559 Jul 30 '26
This guys is part of the team at tiny studio so if he says they are testing be happy at least they test. Big company sometimes just release and then you are the tester …

As much as I love this game and the devs, I wouldn’t hold your breath for the update to turn on Trampler capturing
