Questions About the Current Status of the Game

[Kanonen]

Hello, I recently started playing this game and have some questions about its current state.

1. Status of Killerfish Games
Until today, I believed Sea Power was the official sequel to Cold Waters and War on the Sea. However, I’ve since realized that the companies behind them are different. I noticed some mentions in the community that after the release of War on the Sea, the developers started a new company. Does this mean former developers from Killerfish Games created Sea Power, and that Killerfish Games is now essentially a one-man operation?

2. Status of War on the Sea
It’s been quite a while since the game was released, yet there don’t appear to have been any significant updates or improvements. This is in stark contrast to Cold Waters, which received a major update post-release, adding a 2000s East China Sea campaign. Is this stagnation due to a lack of development resources?

3. Development Halted?
I was deeply disappointed when updates for Cold Waters were discontinued. Is the same thing happening with this game?


I really like this game, but it feels somewhat incomplete to me. With many improvements, it could become an amazing game. Is it unreasonable to hope for that? :(

I agree with you, both games are very good to be abandoned from the devs....

Regarding point 1:


Sea Power is also not the successor to War on the Sea


2. the game has been updated repeatedly, the last major update was the addition of the entire world, an environmental update, strategic bombing, expansion of the ship classes and much more, which was tested for months beforehand

3. there could be another 1-2 updates in the next few months with lucky

War on the sea was not abandoned


Regarding cold waters - as far as I know that was in the final state

[OKOK]

War on sea seem complete. Next thing should be dlc or something.

I think War on the sea will be still updated, in terms of fixing bugs, and making game easier for modders, but i dont think there will be new campaigns, new ships and etc in game, for this things you have to be using mods

I'm also looking forward to it. I hope that a sufficient number of known bugs will be fixed.

Markus, do you know what specific bugs Paul is working on fixing?

Markus,

1. Do you have any information about further updates?
2. What information can you share with us?
3. Is there any information that you are not allowed to share?
4. If so, why are you not allowed to share it?

Simple answer for all 4 questions:
No.

and if I knew, I wouldn't be allowed to say anything about it - that's usually always an unwritten rule for testers. ( It's the same in the modding scene )

looking at the files they might be working on something new

I don't really understand why this is such a secret. I see a lot of games in early access that are essentially being tested by the entire community of players. What information could possibly be secret here? Some even stream the programming process itself. We encountered a problem during development. Look how cleverly we solved this problem. We did a great job! What's the secret?

Could you tell in general terms at least? What does your job consist of? How did you become a tester? How did you test previous updates, which have already been released by now and therefore are not a secret. Can you tell?

I think enough is enough, this entitled attitude of yours is rather immature and frustrating, please respect peoples choices, end of story, you have been warned.

Your behavior is just disgusting and sickening. It's not only childish it is INCREDIBLY STUPID. WHy do you think you deserve to know? WHy do you think that you deserve to have access to internal development information? You are just one customer, you aren't a shareholder, you aren't an investor, you aren't even an official tester or QA. You are a nobody like I am and you deserve nothing more than they are willing to tell you.

Me four.

There must be at least four really "entitled" paying customers I guess... But as someone commented above, we are "only customers", so we don't matter.

This is what's wrong with the business world today.
