What gives?
« on: July 25, 2012, 09:48:43 am »
Why haven't you guys given us multiple major updates to AVWW in the past 3 days? Shameful! XD

But seriously, I know you guys are starting to spoil me when I start getting antsy when the upcoming patch notes haven't been updated with something new for only a few days in a row.

I keep checking there every day just KNOWING that there's going to be a 3-page-long set of upcoming patch notes for 1.3 which will be released that evening, haha. :)

Well, there are a couple things at play. First off, Chris (x4000) is out of the office this week.

Also, we're spending a lot of the available time we do have on the expansion for AI:War and another project we're not really discussing yet.

There's more info in other places around here, but basically while we're not by any means abandoning AVWW, we are slowing down on it a bit while we shift focus other places. When Chris gets back into the office, I'll see if he can write a blog post about that so it's more visible.

Yea, I'm the only programmer on duty right now and I'm focused on the AIW expansion, when I'm not fixing crash/etc problems :)

When do you think we can expect details regarding the AI War expansion?

I recently answered that in the teaser thread so I'll avoid derailing this one :)

Wait, what? Another project?

Oh boy, now its time to speculate on that.

Yea, it's a game about doing napalm runs on a valley filled with characters from dating sims.

If you added all the characters from EA's Sims, I would probably buy that.

Lol wow. I wasn't expecting all the discussion/response.

Just to be clear, I was being silly/sarcastic and mostly making fun of myself for being spoiled by Arcen's delightful treatment of this particular game and its community in general. :)

*edit* Also, I have, in fact, noticed ya'll have switched gears a bit toward focusing on AI War, so I was totally expecting ya'll to slow down from your breakneck pace on AVWW anyhow, haha. :) Like I said, just goofing around, hehe.

Yes, I knew you were joking :)  Whenever we slow down, there's usually a thread like this along the lines of "It's safe?  The updates have stopped?  I can come out now?" ;)

I wonder which would end up stranger: Arcen making a dating sim and having release notes about it, or hatoful boyfriend.
