Confirmed features?

[dolfanar]

I think it would be useful to know what is definitely being worked on for future update (.76, .8, 1.0, etc...). This would help guide and focus discussion, especially in the suggestion thread.

i checked the main page, and aside from a very macro "features" list, there is nothing really specific, and I haven't been able to find anything in the search other than stuff that has been suggested, but nothing confirmed,

So basically, I'm wondering if there is a confirmed future features list.

thanks

In short, no. Armagan likes to surprise us, and also doesn't like to commit to features he is testing out and doesn't know for sure will make it in the next version. So, we only find out with each new release.
Of course he'll occasionally let slip one small feature or two that he already has implemented, but that's uncommon.

He also spends a decent amount of time looking over the suggestions, so you end up seeing changes based upon what people are complaining about/want. I suspect that in a lot of cases, he looks things over, tries to figure out how to implement them, but often isn't sure what will be feasible.

You'd think after creating the engine and successfully implementing the features already in the game, nothing further would confuse him that much when it comes to programming.  But hey, I really don't know anything about it.

Well, for example a lot of us are asking for what would essentially seem to be a massive overhaul of the AI. How to get the effects without completely rewriting the system is something that would be daunting to anyone.

WEll, after this, i guess he knows how to go about a challenge.

but, after M&B 1 is complete, i bet he could go up to any games company, give them a M&B demo, and then get a job right away! (but i hope he makes M&B 2 though)

With M&B's uniqueness and quality, I'd say that it's the game companies that should go to HIM.

And beg him to become their game director/team leader/project head.

But I'd also not wish to see Arma sell his soul to any of those icky multimillion companies, and specially not to the likes of EA etc.

Yeah, i'd like to see him work in a company (if he does) that would allow him full, oralmost full creative control.

But better yet, useing the continueing sales from M&B 1 to fund his next game

The two aren't necesserily exclusive to each other...

I really hope that armagan and M and B become a great success and he keeps his own company and doesnt lose himslef in one of those big companies like microsoft.

I think that that will happen. Espically M&B becomeing a good game. when it's finished, and then, there will be a surge of people wan'ting to play. these people will tell more people ect. so M&B's set to be big.

Well........ (Wet dream?) Wouldn't we like to see Taleworlds BECOME one of those large gaming companies?

Depends......

Origionally, EA, and many other now 'evil' companies, were actually quite small, and 100% commited to games.

 

[Felix78]

OK.... I guess even Armagan could be corrupted by the power.......

 

[Ingolifs]

Once things grow, and require more and more people, and people dedicated to just running the company, that's when things start to go downhill. It generally means that there are too many people whos livelihoods can be affected if a game doesn't perform as well as expected.

So you basically have a huge problem. One one hand, Independant developers don't have the manpower to develop games quickly, and on the other, big companies don't have the creativity and risk taking ability that indies do. It's a bit of a catch, really.

But, if he stayed Indy, and small, it'd be ok. But I don't know. It's his choice, and considering that he's opted to do this on his own (programming wise) and do it the way he thinks it should be done, if he did join a company, it'd be the right one.

 

[Felix78]

Yeah..... We have learned to trust this man's ability to keep us(the players) satisfied and included haven't we?
