We are working on it but at a slower pace.
Wait for a finished,polished, stable, quality wargame...get bashed.
I'll happily wait for as long as it takes for a quality release. Plenty of other games to keep me occupied until then.
Its a small DLC with 14 scenarios and if you look at the available information basically everything already existed 2 years ago.
- Scenario list is there
- The screenshots show most of the new units
- The new tropical map tiles are there
- Work on the maps itself has apperently begun
And for al the people saying "oh give them time they must develop a new naval system" I have a quote from Flashback Games website (also from 2 years ago):
"In the Pacific theater naval warfare played a prominent and critical role, and thus we needed to expand and add depth to the naval aspect of the game. For this reason, naval game rules have been significantly revamped and extended, and all existing content has been tested and tweaked to work with the new naval system without any glitches."
So thats also been done already so all thats left are maybe the rest of the maps and some scripting. Things that some of our great modders can do after work in maybe 1-2 months. So the question remains - what on earth are they developing "at a slower pace" now? How can you be even slower than a standstill?
I wont even mention that we have been told all the time that a separate team works on Pacific so dont come at me with "they have to finish German campaign first."
I guess we will never know as all we get is Edmon forming new statements by rearranging the same words for 2 years now.
P.S.: Their own newsletter stated that they release atm less games than ever before in their history because the company has been growing so much. It seems there are some serious issues within the company as Pacific isnt the only product with immense delays. Headquarters WW2 is also veeery silent and Scramble has basically been scrapped and development will have to start over from scratch.
Headquarters 2 is in closed Beta right now, you could have signed up for it on our website. But no-one in the closed beta is allowed to talk about it, of course. But as you can imagine, a game that's in closed beta is close to being finished...
Scramble is also playable and the beta will be coming soon. We know our communitication on Scramble has just been "We're still working on it, but we have nothing to show just yet" and we are sorry about that, but that's how it is.
Remember: The game engine/code and it's models/artwork are developed seperately by different people. If the developers need more time and the artists are done, there is lots of wonderful graphics and models to show. But conversely, if the artists need more time and the engine is done, there is nothing we can show. No-one wants to see lines of code or blocks moving around green background with no textures.
Game development takes time and sometimes, it takes more time than expected.
I work as a software tester in a big company so I might know a thing or two about software development. Things not always go as planned but normally there are timeframes and some kind of methodologies like agile or scrum that "should" give some planning security. Its always a bit concerning when many or all projects suffer massive delays.
On the other hand our biggest project came out 4 years late, burned through 5 project managers and endet up at 380% budget so who am I to judge... ;-)
So lets keep waiting.
Please see here for more info but Pacific has been delayed till 2024 [video link to this is on page 4 of the discussion]:

Awwwwww....Say it aint so :(
Google-Translate ;-) :
The information policy regarding the Pacific DLC is really just sickening... (the developers and the publisher are now completely incomprehensible to me) Even if no one is interested ;-), but unfortunately I'm increasingly annoyed.
I'm more annoyed of complete lack of transparency in informing the customers than that the game is at least delayed a lot, perhaps eventually cancelled.
They announce the Pacific with NOTHING near ready. 18 months later it went to play testing. Then NOTHING. Not only that they took down the original thread on it, totally gone. That is not communicating. We are a year past the play test and still nothing. Normally a coming soon on a DLC for their games means 2 or 3 months max. It has been 2 and a half years. We get the same we are working on it message. And that was a re-post of the last 6 messages they posted. No new info at all. If everyone quits buying their games they are out of business, this is a great way to make that happen.
