Welcome artfox ! Hope you gonna fix our forums a little bit

 

[naggy]

I have been in the game industry for 4,5 years... But I begun to grow tired of testing FPS games since I usually play Strategy and RPG games during my spare time. So I applied for this job as soon as I heard about it. I think that they picked me because I am quite ambitious and like my job.

So long as all your testing doesn't involve lobbing frag grenades, that should work out.

Give what?

DW or anything below that in price from GG.

 

[Darkrenown]

Yes! Among plenty of othe things, it will job to be on the forums and collect bugreports. I have an ambition to at least have an answer to every bugpost (It will take some time before I can do it though so don't expect miracles immediately).

I will race you (for the projects I'm on anyway)!

 

[RedRalphWiggum]

Such poetic choices... I don't know if I want to spoil it with the real reason behind my nick...

Well my name is ARTur FOXander.

Yeah, that was going to be my fifth choice, I just forgot to write it!

I'm not against hiring an artistic fox either!

I like the first picture better.

Is this Linda with red hairs?

 

[Alexspeed]

Well... No. I am artfox. Nice to meet you. I hope that you will be happy with my answers anyway.

Hey there, welcome to the forums

Would Paradox ever make an in-house city-building or colonisation game? Putting economics and so forth aside for a moment, do the team enjoy that sort of game?

I'd certainly be interested to see a Paradox take on those genres.

Definitely good idea ! I love every Paradox game, but maybe the formula is getting tired ? Still, I love every game by Paradox.

I don't think there really is any formula, the games vary quite a bit in gameplay. Would be cool to see something like that, though it would require a completely new engine.

 

[Beleg32]

+2 ,maybe some RTS ? But definitely something new would make it very intresting for us !

Do you have any plans on making a business simulator??

It would be a good idea to create one. A realistic one.
Ex. Starting upp a smallbusiness and develop and expand it into a worldwide empire.

You could use your tradition in realism to make a game that actually works as in real life. With the correct structures and way of working, external factors that impacts the business...
I'm sure it would be success, I've never seen a realistic business sim so you would be alone in the market.
Det skulle vara kanon !

Or you could buy Capitalism II - it's cheap enough these days

 

[Kallocain]

Don't you think that when having digital purchase only, you are going to break the cycle of creativity ?

Surprisingly accurate!

 

[Balesir]

Yeah, but Cap2, updated, by Paradox - what's not to like?!?

Will absurd naval combat in HoI3 ever be fixed (WW2 CAGs able to fight at night, subs being useless agains warships and super useless against CVs etc.) ???

Oh and will you add casualty stats? (just like in AoD)
