Greetings! I’m currently at PAX, getting ready to head back. New builds have been coming in from GPG.
Right now, they’re trying to get the replays nailed down. I also asked about a number of player requests such as Torcher Bearer casting when running (the answer on that is that he’s not intended to be able to do that be design – some people will obviously disagree but there’s the answer).
Some exploits have been addressed that I won’t get into here. I won’t give an ETA since the build is in internal beta and it’s hard to guestimate how long it will take to eliminate bugs and such in order to make is public.
The mod handling is also pretty advanced in this build but there are some security features that have to be in to help avoid some malicious mods that we’re looking to put in before that goes out.
The two new Demigods look pretty good. The visual quality is absurdly good. The demon assassin is definitely something that I think will be very useful in a team based game. I’ll try to get some screenshots up shortly.
It was great being at PAX and meeting many of you. It’s nice to hear a lot of positive feedback on the game since sometimes, reading the forums, you tend to get a…specific demographic of players that aren’t necessarily representative of the wider Demigod player base.
More to come shortly.
It's quite enjoyable hanging around a place with a renewed sense of optimism.
damn just release it already we can see changes ourself.
Sorian! Stay with us It would be lovely to have a GPG posting here alongside SD!
I will continue to post as often as possible and give as many details as I am allowed to. GPG should really have a presence on this forum. Just keep in mind that I am not a community manager or PR person at all, just a lowly content engineer .
Thanks for the update, Brad; I really can't wait for the upcoming patch. And super congrats on your new job, Sorian! You totally deserve to be there!
Dito - congrats, Sorian! There are quite few people here who will do what we can to make your job easier regarding coding fixes . We really want to see Demigod succeed and love the game!
Ahhh, the lowly engineer. The most important cog in the machine IMHO. I am right there with you and loving it. Just seeing you on this forum has restored some faith in me.
Now as for these new Demigods I say pics or it didn't happen .
Hey cool, a GPG poster. So the silence has finally been broken.
Anyway, I'm a little confused about the TB auto-attack thing. It was by design that he can't move while attacking...but a new animation is in the works to allow him to do just that?
Whatever, don't really care so much either way. Good to know the patch is coming along.
Yippie !!
Sorian is hired by GPG...that are really good news.
Good decision GPG !!!
Grats Sorian !!!
p.s. i guess ur not allowed to make mods anymore for gpg games ? right ? ...because u said "im gonna mod the hell out of that AI"......
cheers..da micro
Oh, I can mod all I like. I just have to put a disclaimer about it not being an official GPG addon or some such.
Very cool indeed.
Looking forward to the Sorian Turtle AI - Sorian Rush AI - Sorian Tricky AI and last but not least - Sorian ImbaCheating AI
MIcro you naab
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I hope this revives the community a bit. I am still farily new to the game but I am really enjoying it.
Thank you for everything.
sorian can you tell us a date of patch release for example will patch released on this month?
That's like asking Blizzard or Bioware when their games come out =P
I don't work for GPG or Stardock but I can at least guarantee it'll be out before 1.3.
I wouldn't be so sure on that
When it is done™
Well there's a Blizzard answer if I've ever heard one!
But seriously, props to you all working so hard to satisfy the [fickle, at best] mob that is we gamers!
The thing I don't get is why we cant even be given a close estimate. If I were to ask if it was within this year would you say yes? If so, then what about within the next 3 months? The next 1 month? The next 2 weeks? I mean, that's the level of detail I wish they would give us .
The problem is, even if I had an estimate, things can change. New bugs can be found and then the date changes. When that happens posts are created on the forum crying foul or accusing GPG/SD of continuing to hold the proverbial carrot in front of players faces. Look at the posts after Frogboy's "end of August" estimate had come and gone.
Things happen. Dates change. The best estimate I can give is the patch is coming and will be here as soon as possible.
I hope fire TB gets fire on the move.... otherwise he will never be as good as I want him to be. I can only do so much damage before my opponent desides to retreat.
Yep, good stuff. Sorian joining GPG in an official capacity is great news. He's the best modder SupCom had, and knows GPG's games inside and out. Now that he has access from the inside it can only bring good things for future patches.
Ugh, TB Fire not being able to attack while moving is intended? Sadface.
*sigh* I sincerely hope that isn't the canned response we can expect to these type of balance problems. It may have been by design, but that doesn't make it good design. The Ford Pinto was by design... *bah* what's the use...
