What do you think? Spaghetti code

[Larirawiel]

Do you think the game will one day be free of spaghetti codes?

Never. If your program reaches a certain amount of complexity, then you will always have spaghetti code. Because your ressources are limited.

Do you think spaghetti code is just an excuse made up by devs and not a real issue?

Did they really use this excuse in the past?

Do you think the game is still heavily plagued by spaghetti code?
What are the limitations caused by spaghetti codes that still exist to this day?
Do you think the game will one day be free of spaghetti codes?

1 - I don't know how much weight it actually has in the game, but in the features I care for, yeah older code and resources are a detriment.
2 - Probably some stuff regarding your retainers. And I think the glam dressers bork the game a little if implemented in housing due to the way the housing system and the glamouring system were designed, which conflict with eachother.
3 - No, but they might be able to mitigate the damage it causes by clearing some stuff up.
4 - No. Have you seen 1.0? It's a mess.

Did they really use this excuse in the past?

They have used it as a justification for why some stuff couldn't be done, or to explain away a serious glitch or two. Now if you both mean "excuse" as in "a get-out-of-having-to-do-real-work card", then I wouldn't say they have. But I'm not the most tech savy person when it comes to analyzing the extent of the damage caused by their spaghetti code.
