So, team, how's it going?
« on: June 14, 2014, 09:07:26 PM »
Hello everyone and especially our respected devs! :) I don't want to sound too impatient and ungrateful (don't get me wrong, I appreciate your work and I understand that you don't want to put unfinished stuff for everyone to see), but it's been quite a while since we had some official information, so, could someone of the devs throw us a bone or two to discuss, maybe how's the development going in general, or what are you working on right now (that's interesting too), or what are the obstacles in your work (maybe we could offer our humble help?)? Maybe you could show us a little teaser of the next patch or give us an rough date (no deadlines, of course ;)) to look forward to? Thanks in advance!

As far as I can tell we are just about finished :)

Just waiting on some new models really, but we have no ETA on when those will be done

I'd be glad if they at least will release patch for skirmish. Dear devs please give us approximate date of release!

Probably not. Not to be rude to the team, but I will say that they tend to be very secretive; and lack of new information to talk about OR updates won't get this mod very far as a whole.

Last time I spoke to Maxi and Rommel about the campaign( 2 weeks ago~ish), they said that quite some progress had been made. I hadn't seen much of this 'progress' apart from some map images, but it will at the least suffice for me.

But the real question is, why are we left out waiting for new information, even if its minor like campaign stuff? I know the team wants to surprise us a ton and get us all excited but really I'm just curious why nothing really gets out until everything is done. I mean, if the community knows the current progress there may be less issues in the patch concerning things like balance for example. If we know that an OP unit may be created in next patch but the community knows about it, we could stop that from happening in time so that we won't have to wait an additional 3-6 months for another update.

Thats exactly why we have Balancers ;).

To me, the wait is what should make it exciting. We are still doing this as a hobby. We are not a game company. I'm sure you realise that we take our time because we have to. However, when it comes to gameplay, we are currently stagnating a bit as I am away, Darc is occupied with work and the others are busy with other things. It's good to see that you are devoted, but we can't do much at the moment...

Waiting is exciting? I personally think its is frustrating the more there is (talking several months). I know that this is a hobby and there is only so much time BUT I am just wondering as to WHY there is no new updates or at least a few things about the progress of the mod mentioned. I know when I was reading the announcement of the recent patch, that the team was working "in the shadows for several months" or something like that but my question is WHY in the shadows? Not just me but several others have gotten fed up and impatient over this issue under the illusion that nothing is being done since there is nothing new said about the mod or something like that.
