Basically Roadmap and goals havent exactly been TW trademark in my experience.
They seem to be very anti-date.
I'm thinking its a "culture thing" perhaps?
I personally think that the core-problem is that when they made Warband it was in the very first version 3 ppl involved makeing it.
Not sure if the 2nd variant was more staff.
The thing I think is maybe something the head of studio fail to get though, is that maybe he isnt suited for manageing big groups like this.
Perhaps he's better at other aspects.
There is a huge difference between manageing 3 or 30 ppl to manage 100+(I've managed about 200 ppl split on 3 shifts 24/7 call-centre).
And it was a huge step-up from manageing just my own team first (4 pp) to then be daytime shift wtih about 125 and co-ordinate it with the other leaders etc.
I also think that perhaps they fear that there is more "disappointment" if they give us dates, and they cant manage it.
Then you have overall during the whole process from Beta and beyond that their skill at communication is horrible.
While its great they post on other platforms etc, it still needs to be up front and center on this forums primarily, not everyone uses other platforms etc.
Sometimes you find some tid bit of a nugget of gold information on a bug report on page 4.. which when you see it - why isnt this frontpage news..
But overall the adventure of compareing this games development vs BG3 by Larian was nite and day.
Larian is great at communicating, giveing feedback on our questions.
Sometimes saying wow thats a great idea, we'll try to do that, or we dont like that so you'll need to mod it in for yourself, or it will cost to much money/effort.
In the time since this patch we're on now in Bannerlord vs BG3.. Larian have published atleast 2 could be 3 mayor updates, with several qol improvements(not just bugfixes) they've also added in several patches to fix bugs etc(performance aswell).
I'm speculating though, but I wonder if there is any lights on at this studio though? beside a skeleton crew.
The economic situation in Turkey isnt ideal ehem. Inflation is heavy 68% last I checked so that could mess things up good aswell for running any type of business.
