So I bought this game over six months ago and it is still pretty much crap, I came here to check up on the development recently of the expansion and it is now set to Fall. When I came here originally it was April, and now Fall? What is going on with this? I will tell you, you should wait to release a complete version of the game instead of a beta. Its bad business.
Any answers?
argh... my eyes... I take it english isn't your first language... no matter... I understood perfectly what you said... just the grammar... kills my eyes
Forget the good game stuff. At this point I just want some decent modding tools to make a good game .
I am kinda in your vein of thinking Xia but its 2 controversial figures and then he goes and sells a part of his business to highly loathed retail store in the PC community. And I'll add one more word, Demigod.
All I am saying is that alot, ALOT, a whole fricking mess of alot for everyone involved is riding on FE. Pretty much everyone's reputation is 75% on the hook and Brad's is 100%. It better reach a Blizzard level of quality and entertainment. He messes this up and alot of people including myself are done with anything he ever puts his hands on. He did a damn good job building an enormous amount of trust with me and alot of other PC gamers and somehow in the past year he managed to almost completly destroy it.
Everyone makes mistakes, not everyone is man enough to admit it and then do all they can to rectify it. Brad has done that. This experience has doen the oposite to me, I now trust Brad and Stardock more.
Not to put words in your mouth, but is there an implication that, later on in FE's development, there will be more 'back-and-forth' than there is currently? I'm just curious if FE will ever have WoM's level of community involvement - insights into the development process, beta testing the game before it's actually ready for release, asking the forums for feedback, etc. - and if FE's development is going to be different, what will it be like? More like a typical game, small amounts of leaked info leading up to a complete and polished 'beta'/demo just before release (hopefully not), or something in between?
Boogie steps over the lock and says: Yeah, the back-and-forth WILL happen, but it'll be after most of our/Brads/Dereks/Jon/Toby's design vision is in place. During WoM there was early back and forth with the details of the vision itself, and that just turned into a mess, mostly with Elemental being new IP What we'll want is to polish the vision with feedback, not scuplt the vision with it. And remember, when it somes to player and community input, we received TONS of critical feedback from WoM's launch, all of which was used to establish our FE goals.
Hope this helps
