Preemptive Applause

[ᛒᛖᚱᛋᛖᚱᚲ]

Take a bow, devs.

Even if the worst case scenario occurs and the meta-design is broken and just generally not fun, you guys have worked your butts off to try something new and build off the successes of your genre-melding city builder Tropico. Have an ice cold beer and take pride in reaching the finish line.

Have an ice cold beer

Or a bowl of Wenatchee's finest!

Hear hear!

You can argue that Tropico has become iterative and derivative. Here's to showing your worth and striking out for something else. You are to be commended and I wish you all the commercial and critical success that your studio and this attempt deserves!

And seeing all the streams, it's a highly stable final product, to boot. Cheers! Well done.

Thanks all! It really warms my heart to see such a nice thread just before release and amidst all stress associated with it.

On the Tropico topic:

I personally like T4 a lot more than T5. T5 was a bit too easy for my taste, everything fits perfectly in to a grid an just looks so artificial. T4 kind of looks organic and you can do a lot more. It looks a lot more realistic, not so comic-y.

However from what I have seen from Surviving Mars so far is that they have found a suitable middle ground now.

Say buddy, I've been wondering - what is your role at Haemimont? Are you their community manager, or a designated member of the developer team, or what?
