Title. I am thirsty for news…

I totally understand that and hear you! With the confidence element - game development isn’t always as simple as ‘we want to do X → do the work for X → it works → we release it.’ Something that i’m sure all game studios suffer from is the ‘we want to do X → oh there are so many bugs this creates c…

Some devs do dev blogs on stuff they’ve looked into but didn’t work or they decided against, which generally also work for stuff that were announced/promised have otherwise been quietly canned that is better than being mentioned in a single Discord message buried in general chat. It’s essentially k…

That’s… not the defense you think it is. The fact that the studio does not have coherent practices and processes established studio-wide, and instead each dev team is left to make their own processes from scratch is… Not great?

We’re discussing here basic of comms when things don’t go right. I’m in hospitality and there’s a mountain of training (and experience) that goes with dealing with customers when things go wrong. Identifying frustration triggers, mitigating problems, managing the team etc but the ONE THING that is …

[image] FatsharkCatfish: I see all of you requesting some statement on vision i´d wager, and can only tell from a personal point of view, even this would go a long way. darktide as a game, and in the process warhammer as a franchise, has struck a cord few others in my 31 years of pc gaming h…

I’m still waiting for anyone from Fatshark to explain how we have the RNG lock-infested, time-gated crafting system we have, when THIS is what they told us: [image] Dev Blog: Crafting in Darktide For Darktide we wanted to take those lessons to expand and improve in such a way that crafting would…

When can we hope for another comms link?
