An Opinion, On the Internet?!! (In this economy?!)
Is it just me, or is Jundroo Trying to kill Simpleplanes by making Juno a free demo version?
Let me explain,
I feel like no one has actually picked this theory up, and it concerned me enough to make a post about it... I'm praying it isn't, this game is very much 'a diamond in the rough' and I'd hate to see it and it's community desecrated and disappointed like this.
This game has been growing such a large community, and it feels like a massive stab in the back for Jundroo to pay little to no attention to Simpleplanes to make it a better PC and mobile game, with all the issues that plagues its code, and I feel like this game deserves far more love and care than it's getting currently...
So when Jundroo announced their free version of Juno, after thinking about it, it really, really didn't sit right with me, after all this game hasn't had a major update in I forgot how long, (too long)
and it's making me worried that they may be trying to slowly convert people over to Juno so they can axe Simpleplanes for good...
I hope at least someone can provide an explanation to alleviate or confirm my suspicions, for all I know I may be over thinking this, but it just doesn't sit right with me...
I hope anybody other than me has actually thought about this already...
This game is really old, and its not like updates are a guarantee. Maybe Jundroo will make an SP2, maybe they won't we'll see. The game's only been updated once since I started playing, and it doesn't really bother me.
@HuskyDynamics01 sorry about the tag, I guess I'm just upset that this game is very much a one of a kind, especially in the current eye-strain that is modern apps, and I just want to see it... protected...? I guess...? Idk if I'm making any sence there lol...
Short version:
When you bought the game you did so with the full knowledge that development would eventually come to an end, as with pretty much every other game that doesn't follow the content-as-a-service model, and now that that time has come you're claiming you've been betrayed?
Have y'all not had games reach end-of-life before? They aren't trying to subconsciously convert everyone to Juno so they can axe SP, they're just finished developing SP and have moved on to their next project (and are showing it off here because... people that play both, I guess?).
The game has been out for over nine years (December 2014 was the first launch, on mobile only; the Steam version came a year later), which is a fairly long time for a video game these days and a rather absurdly long time for an indie game, much less a studio's first truly successful game (sorry SimplePhysics and SR1, but it's kinda true), much less one that was originally just a mobile game. There is no backstabbing or desecration (whatever that would mean in this context); it's been public knowledge for a long time now that SP is built on spaghetti code and became more and more difficult to update over the years (a fate Juno will hopefully avoid now that they know what not to do).
The game isn't being worked on anymore because it's almost a decade old and the developers decided it was time to work on something bigger and (arguably) better. That's just how it is.
Also, please don't tag me on things I have not requested to be tagged on.
@Noname918181 lol
Almost forgot
Hi troubled!
@ThatKindaWeeb idk about juno new origin very much but its likely going to be the devs new focus, though there is already ksp2 for a rocket spaceship sandbox :/
@Noname918181 SP2 wouldn't be a bad solution though, rebuilding the game from the ground up seems like the only option
fcat@Noname918181
@ShinyGemsBro Much easier to understand lol
It's not really something you have to worry about, and yes, you are overthinking.
I think it's far more likely that they have plans to make an SP2, but even that I'd say is far fetched for the time being, for now, don't overthink stuff, just continue enjoying the game that you enjoy, because at the end of the day, that's all that matters

@BaconEggsfacts
Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box.
@ThatKindaWeeb no its FUNNY HAJAJAJAJA also have you not read them specifically say the game is done for updates for the foreseeable future blud cant go 10 seconds without responding to any big or small interaction from devs with "waaa wa waw waaaa wa pleaes sp update" sp communiyt so annoying & ungrateful literally every 12 year old child whines abt sp not having update for the last year just have fun playing the game and if u cant either move on or take a break | i wont blabbleblrblebla on this any further caus its that shrimple
@ShinyGemsBro it's still one of a kind, I don't think anybody will make a game like simpleplanes anytime soon, (and no, flyout doesn't count in my eyes, since your not gonna convince me that that monstrosity can be made into a mobile game lmao)
@DatTrainGuy19 I guess that still leaves one question, is there a chance they'll dump the game entirely?
@BaconEggs at least be more civilized about it... jeez
@ThatKindaWeeb idk what else there is to say the game isnt going anywhere just play it & enjoy it u freaking gnarp gnap
@DatTrainGuy19 honestly, if I knew how, I would ask.
@BaconEggs Wow, "hostiles flank, hot..."
i dont think that is their intention i think ur copping and seeting and maldinge that sp not update (game is literally 10+ years old they also stra8 up said the game is end of life for updates) like respectfully shut UP
Sp is an old game, so of course it's rough around the edges, plus, updating ancient games isn't easy y'know? since the chance for a code to break entirely on a game filled with spaghetti codes are of course quite common than you think, im not a dev, nor am i experienced in coding and stuff so... ask a dev maybe?
