Pestering devs for news

[Patrick Ward]

I dont want or expect anything. I would appreciate more communication and more contact. And that is nothing uncommon or new. Because it worked. If you had asked me 1 year ago, i would have said that slitherine got a real nice communication with their custormers.
......

Yeah I think some of that is fair. Our transition from a small company to large one over the last few years, both in staff numbers, legal and internal systems/frameworks has had its teething problems but we're all pulling in the same direction and excited.

Teatimes had a longer restart than expected because they moved and built a new studio. It'll be back very soon [edit: it was back today! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1712083702 ... &sort=time

I can't comment on those games you mentioned as I'm not at all involved in them (I'm mostly Panzercorps, FoG, AGEOD and dip in out of a few others as needed. We all get regular broad updates on whats happening throughout the company but for the most part you get the same )
With regards 1945 .. Kresimir will start posting when he's ready.

As for the devs, no. I understand where you're coming from and while it appears to be news to you this has been the case since way before Covid hit. They don't mean any disrespect at all. If you've seen the way Rudankort interacts with people you'd know he's one of the politest, respectful and sincere devs we have.

The disconnect between Discord, Steam etc and our forum is a good point and I'll make sure its discussed.

Hey Pat, thx for your answer.
As mentioned before, your postings here are really appreciated, even with bad news. Andyes i still think its not a good thing that the devs dont interact with their fans or community. I can really understand why.

But most of the people here are friendly. And so many users asking questions here, make cool/nice/interesting suggestions, they give feedback and so on.
And they spend a lot of time doing it.
I understand that some informations will reach them, but this isnt the same like direct contact with the team. I mean most of the people here want to help improving the game/franchise. Of course there are some crazy ideas that wont ever come, but im pretty sure it could be beneficial for the game if there would be more contact and discussion.

There is even a "Ideas for PC2"Thread here from Rudankort and people are still using it for suggestions.

I dont know if there is a possible solution or if there can be a solution. Again i can understand why the devs or the team prefers to stay away from more abuse(misbehavior or the potential that this might happen again. (i really hope i wont ever happen again...)
But i think it might be beneficial for the game if there would be some more contact with their fans.

For me its still kinda hm i dont know a good word for it....devastating news. It feels like i have wasted a lot of time here. And i still havent touched the game or spend a lot of time on the forums since i read your post. (no its not your fault of course, but bad news feel like bad news)
Right now im still disappointed, and i know thats my problem and its ok. But right now im not even interested in any information about AO45 or Pacific or a potential other x Corps or the will to make suggestions or share any ideas.

i will buy ao45 but there is no anticipation right now. Againt, this is of course my personal problem. Now i will watch the teatime, i didnt noticed that there was one i stopped checking the channel some time ago, time to change that hehe


As mentioned thanks for your answer Pat

I have red some very good ideas there and posted some stuff myself. No feedback at all. Of course you can red in the blogs and stuff that the developers always listen to the community and so on...maybe they actually do from time to time but it is just frustrating for players who try to do more than just playing the game. Support and communication here is a desaster.
The only reason I still check this forum from time to time are some very good modifications and a few active users who share their thoughts with each other.
And of course panzer corps 2 is one a the best games I played on my life and I am always waiting for more dlcs.
