True.....thanks anyway

StGeorge is right though - not really much new.
But we were/are so starved that any crumb tastes like a feast to us. And we thank our liege lord for giving us these crumbs.

Right again Sonny, it does taste like a feast, but all in all its not much new.

Yet im struck with optomism, yet nothing seems closer....

Sires, thanks for the trust. Can't post any screens / sketches / ingame material before we have a set release date, so have to survive by newsbits alone. Once we are on the final stretch though, we will have a regular service through the existing CK Russian site and it will also support English mirror (i think it is multilanguage already).

And I know at least one site that'll mirror any released stuff if needed...


btw - love that new design of the Official site (and is that a glimpse of the map there at the top? )

I'm curious as to why this is a requirement. None of the other games either developed by Paradox (EU, HOI, Vic) or in which they were a partner (Legion, CoW) had this requirement. Victoria had two within the first few weeks of the announcement! It just doesn't make sense to me why a solid release date is needed to post screenshots.

Maybe it's just their own policy - to prevent the endless questioning that Victoria's screenshots generate.

Just because they can do something (like post screenshots) doesn't mean they have to...

I agree, and I think just having Sergei drop us a note is a positive. Yeah it would be great to have screenshots but I am still in the camp of patience and if it means I have to wait another month or two I will do it.

I think the simple answer is that they are not posting screen shots yet because the UI is not set yet.

Judging form the updates they have spent most of their time on game mechanics and that they are now turning their attention to making everything functional and looking nice.

There is no point giving a screen shot of a game in those circumstances.

 

[unmerged(5664)]

Well, Paradox certainly does release screenshots with incomplete UIs, butthey do get criticized for it at times, and they have to explain that "it's only in beta, it's not complete" more than once.

There are plusses and minuses - I'd prefer even an incomplete screenshot, but understand why Snowball doesn't.

Yeah, imagine that - they devote time to game play and leave the look/glitz 'til last? They better watch out - it is hard bucking the current trend of all show and no "go";
