Community Herald: Volume Three - Citizens of Gothus (Year 3, Week 48)

[totallyTim]

As you can probably tell, nothing noteworthy happened this week, but we're still here. Can the same be said about 22Cans? HELLO_ELLO_ello_ello_lo?

Note: Even if nothing happens for a week, I'll still try to post something. If I miss a week feel free to post the missing volume yourselves, but please make sure to include the game status.

Making the most of an uneventful week

We're not alone..?
"He's the hero our community deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark bacon."

According to the source, we weren't completely abandoned as the PR officer apparently defends the community interests. The community would probably still like to know how he does that or if he even knows what our interests are, since a lot of evidence seems to point in the opposite direction. Some clarification would be appreciated. Let's just hope that this[godus.boards.net] isn't it.

Have you seen this book?
It has been tree and a half weeks since some of art books were sent out. However we haven't seen any evidence of any deliveries being made so far. If you received the book could you please post a picture (through imgur or something similar) of it here or on the Proboards[godus.boards.net]?

Thanks for making these Tim! I can't wait to see if we can get to 500 days since the last opt-in update! =O

I'm glad people are following this :)

Gmr, let's not tempt them :p

Unodus, if you have any relevant information that you don't wish to post here, you can try the proboards[godus.boards.net], since 22Cans have no influence there (also no registration required on the open board). If you don't want to reveal it publicly just yet, then you might want to talk to someone who has more influence and was already able to contact the media (Gmr Leon[godus.boards.net] perhaps) or some other senior members like 13thGeneral[godus.boards.net].

I'm relatively "new" here and the purpose of these posts is only to serve as a reminder of what is and what was happening. I also do not wish to spread information with no real source. If you'd still like to contact me, then feel free to PM the account with the same name here: totallytim[godus.boards.net].

Why do a smell an engine rewrite and a v3.0?

We can hope!
I suspect that much of the delay has been the new team just getting their heads around the code base.
Would be good if they were cleaning up code too... but let's not put ideas in their heads for even more delays!!

It's the only logical reason why they've taken so long. Other than having inadiquate coders for the job. I mean Fabs() and co left. They where experienced with the code base. There where no experienced coders for that code base left on the project (that I'm aware of as they where all moved to the trail then fabs() and pavel left).

Some of the remaining coders where "bro" coders. Luckily the guy who designed the "AI" and path finding has moved onto the trail. Hopefully he'll stay there.

I miss my chats with ex 22cans staff. I suspect the recient change of guard of the CM's is to sure up a more strick corperate feel. I.e they work for 22cans now and not for us. A more strict reporting structure. Hence why simon and colin are in the loop now. They no doubt get damage reports etc.

I can personally say that previous members of 22cans actually did give a damb and where letting out info to some of us about goings ons. That's all I'll say about that. Fabs() for example has made it clear in a blog post on what his feelings where about why he left.

Wonder if they'll sell copies of the artbook/physical versions of the game when it's "finished."

I want to put something next to my copy of Spore.

"Dark Bacon!" :)

Another delicious update, TT, keep it up!
