Greetings,
In light of the recent outcry from some members of the community about the state of the game in season 3, I wanted to bring up a possibility that may help re-assure players that progress is being made toward improving some of the issues with the game.
I'm talking about the devs posting development updates at a regular interval, such as every 1, 2, or 3 weeks.
The content of such posts could simply be a short message such as:
"Working on map design for new PvP dungeon"
or possibly a more extended work log such as:
- Completed roughly 30% of the upper level of a new PvP dungeon, started work on the general layout of the lower level.
- Fixed script issue with grenades exploding in players inventories
- Working on new UI icons
The general aim here is to re-assure players that work on various features is being performed, and to give players an idea of the features they can expect in future updates.
I take this sort of approach with a project that I administer, and it helps prevent the "is the project dead?" and "devs are doing nothing" type of posts on the forums.
Of course, sometimes no work will have been done between regular dev logs and that's okay too. A simple "didn't find time to do work" at least keeps the community updated with what's going on.
Ultimately, in my experience, regular communication between the developers and the community is an overall benefit to both, so I hope a system like this could help enhance that for Reloaded.
Thanks for reading!
