Post news Report RSS A Modest Proposal

We'd like to know the opinion of the ModDB community of the mod about an important decision we have to take.

Posted by on

Hello everyone,

Warsword Conquest fans and lovers!


I know that many of you, seeing this update in their ModWatch, are going to think that we arefinally releasing the new version.

Well, it's an "half truth".


While we were testing the "beta" of the new release, these days, we've been noticing some problems around some areas of the map. Nothing game breaking fortunately.

But, among the various little bugs and issues, a possible source of a new unbalanced situation showed its ugly face out of the dark.


As a matter of fact, Chaos, after the addition of Kislev, seems to be a isolated from the others, with Bretonnia, the Empire and Kislev developing a high pressure rate on its borders. We have just solved the Dwarven situation, reworked their balancement and that of the other factions/races to make Warsword Conquest a really enjoyable experience . That's why this new possible situation worries us so much.


Now, here comes the important part, so please, lend me your attention and evaluate this proposal very very carefully.



If we were to delay the mod's release for 10 days from our prefixed time to

give us some more time to solve the problems

BUT

as a reward for your patience, add in the mod Vampire Counts (Sylvania),


Would you accept it?



We know you have been waiting for this release for so long, and that's why, with the rising of a possible delay, we'd like to know if you are ok with this.


If you're going to accept our proposal, you'll be getting a cleaner new release and a fourth new faction (which is going to be 95% perfect as we would need more time to make a new Vampire skin. So the vampires are going to be skinned like humans and a proper skin is going to come. The rest it's already there) or a faster release with some bugs still left unsolved and the three planned new factions (Beastmen, Kislev, Nippon).


Please, comment to this article and let us know your opinions, as we are asking you to decide.

For the sake of clarity, let us treat this as a poll, so write "YES" if you want to sign this little gentlemen's agreement of ours, or "NO" if you want the release fast and quick.



THE "YES" WON, so we are going to act as previously announced.




Thank you very much for your time and patience,

Warsword Conquest community.


Sigmar's blessings upon you all!




Polloio, Team Warsword

Just for clarification that is 10 more days beyond the time needed to fix the current issues, not 10 days from now. We hope to fix the current issues by the weekend but we can never be sure until we have retested.

Yes, and it didn't even need the Vampire Counts for me to agree. I prefer to wait and have a more enjoyable experience than rush and play something that has known issues.

I would wait 10 days without complaining, if you don't add anything new. I'm just glad, if a new version is out to play :)

10 days from what we roughly intended as a possible release date, let's be clear about this.

So you guys seem concrete on 10 days(after the original intended time). being the case that this is the only time you have given us a concrete number for this update does that mean you guys have already tested the vampire counts with the latest version? If not then Im worried it might end up being extended past 10 days due to even more new bugs

No, at this point the new release has taken so long I'd rather just have a playable version than wait for bells and whistles, frankly I'm losing interest.

It's 10 days after whatever it takes to fix what needs to be fixed. At the current release rate who knows how long that is.

I think you're under estimating the time it takes to fix bugs, and the rate at which the Warsword team works (or restricted time available to work on the mod).

My guess is 20 days. 10 days for bugs, 10 days for the rest.

I'd say yes if we can get some kind of release date. 10 days from day that was meant to be the release date we never told is kinda vague :D Yes in case it means release before march, no in case it takes longer.
