Re: What the hell is up with Dominions 3???
How many people are beta testing Dominions 3? Just curious.

Re: What the hell is up with Dominions 3???
That usually depends on what level of testing its in. Crash-tests, play tests, balance tests, then nitpicking over things like the intro screen and spell checking. And usually the NDA (non-dislosure agreement) makes it a no-no to say. But thats up to them I guess.
I dont want to start a flood but I figure that if its still early that its a good time to bring up the favorite wishlist stuff in case its a "oh yeah we were going to do that" kindof item. But on the other hand, I dont want to move back the relase date any http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif |

If you want WORD OF MOUTH to work... give those future customers "continously new info" to use for spreading the word. The ohhh lets do advertising only the last 3 months is definitely not the best method. |

As to the question of when to begin the "hype"...too soon, is no good...too late, no good...I feel like Goldilocks. We don't hold Illwinter, or any of our developers, to a schedule. When it's ready, it's ready. Illwinter does not need the pressure of delivering on some arbitrary timeline, nor are we inclined to request it. We want to minimize the chances of the developement and testing process to be pressured by the "is it ready yet?" mindset. So we begin the "hype" when we feel the time is right. I hope that explains our point of view; we've learned through experience http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif |

Gal_Civ_2 was(is?) the #1 selling software at Walmart... not just games but all software. It's not enough to only examine what's worked in the past for you, but to examine what's working for others. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif That last sentence is true for almost any type of business. |
Re: What the hell is up with Dominions 3???
The 10 month silence is more of a IW silence than a shrapnel silence (and 10 months is a bit of an exaggeration). Unless we give them screens and info they can't give you any info. I've been quite bad at writing dev diaries as I said I would. Probably because I mostly write when I'm in a good mood and have little work at school (this fall was a tough one and dev diaries were not my top priority, but now everything is brighter).
But there has been some info leaking. The most anticipated game at the start of this year for example. I hope you haven't lost faith young prophet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif |

But do we get new battle formations or were those neat columns of C'tisian chariots just an illusion?
