It is nice when other members of the community start threads like this.
It also feels nice knowing that others are having the same concerns regarding the state of LFS and it's development.
Most, if not all of us, are already aware that LFS is hobby and not a primary job for developers.
At what point tho, is the hobby considered abandoned? I know that is not the case with LFS, but it sure feels like it a lot of the time.
If this project is no longer the main focus of that developers, what will it take to get them to open LFS to third party developments?
We all know there is plenty of talented people within this forum and community that would love to move forward with the progress of LFS, but the developers seem stuck on having development come their team and only their team.
What is wrong with third parties adding a few new tracks to the game to add a new and fresh aspect to the game? We don't necessarily need them added to the LFSWorld stats because I know that would add more work for Victor. What is wrong with adding them to say a custom tracks feature that is separate from LFSWorld?
If the ability to add custom tracks that were denied access to LFSWorld stats was added, I bet there would be a significant increase in new licenses as well as old licenses returning to once again participate in LFS.
Not only would it add new content, but it could spark all kinds of league and competitions as well.
I guess this is all just a dream tho as we already know the developers will not allow such actions.
One can only dream, I suppose.
