forums have been pretty dead regarding updates recently. just wondering what's going on with development, what's planned, progress, etc.

The majority of our work is being done on the dev server. I don't want to give anything away without permission, though.

heh..

era staff have been doing the "we want it 2 b a surprise" routine for the longest time. there's no point in doing it. tell players what to expect this way the staff team knows what's good and what's not good. instead, they're going to add all this stuff that players don't know about and find out everyone hates it, resulting in a huge waste of time.

hypothetically of course. I'm not trying to say what you guys are doing is bad (don't even know what's going on on Era dev) but just saying that you should notify players what's going on this way there's the option of getting feedback.

Also, If you tell us we can already decide.. Leave, or stay..

If era is going to be more stupid then this im gone ;o

I do agree, they should very well show the work thats being done. I think it's rather silly to keep it a secert. The more you show, the more people KNOW something is at least being done. You can see things are being done, but it doesn't mean **** unless they can see it.

Also, like Frankie says you have to show whats being done for judgement, though I think almost anything new is auto-hated at first and people learn to like it.

If this is sarcasm you need some work.

papajchris · #12 02-24-2009, 03:21 AM

progress is actually being made, when angel showed me the new gmap it was nearly done or atleast filled in, and then the insides were being added. I also was told of some cool ideas that have been added now and that will be int he future. Im not sure what angel wants out there, but ill tell her the public wants info!

Nothing really significant being released recently on overworld. Like Chris said most of the work is being done on dev now and I must say it's looking pretty good. However, Im not ready to post any info regarding the progress yet.

Frankie · #14 02-24-2009, 04:09 AM

I was never doubting the progress that's being made. Angel already showed me the progress on the new overworld because she wanted my opinion. It's decent, but I would like to see effort being put on game play mechanics rather than visual.

Well we are planning to fix the player system/movement system/item system before we can open Dev to public and show players what we have been working on.

Myself/DH/Angel/Cain/Chris have all been working on Era Dev and we've done a huge ammount of work which really i'm excited to show players whats done. We can't just open Dev with the broken down systems we have now that's why Chris/Angel are rescripting the player system/movement system and item system which takes time to complete.
