I would've preferred them wait until Ryker was more polished (apparently he is already getting an Amara level visual rework) and maybe a balance patch or new unit(s) tier 3? To go along with it. I'm guessing this is all because the dev team has focused on Team Mayhem and everything else got placed on the back burner, but still :/ Breaking News: Frost Giant promises and disappoints | ||

Tim Morten presents a master class in excuse making. Young software developers should watch this old man in action. Mr. Morten is brilliant in this interview. At some time in everyone's career they will miss deadlines, fail to implement promised features and go over budget. It is a reality of making software. Being an effective excuse maker is a key skill to surviving in an extremely competitive field. Tim Morten plays the excuse maker role as well as Jason Alexander played George Costanza in Seinfeld. | ||

That's why they're all so radically different from each other. Everyone from Dehaja to Stukov to Han & Horner. While Stormgate is having to add co-op commanders with only 6 missions for one race and barely any lore existing. | ||

I'm guessing this is all because the dev team has focused on Team Mayhem and everything else got placed on the back burner, but still :/ Hard to give a proper opinion without playing (art, sound, optimisation improvements, and coop content are the main things) but yeah it's a little dry going off the patch notes. Although 3v3 is being updated behind nda as well but we don't have any details yet. Not that every patch has to be game changing, they just need to get there eventually. The better news is that the new art director is both very good, and is going over all 3 races is. In particular he said the next dev cycles (0.3/0.4?) are focusing on tilesets and visuals. Which are things the game really needs for people to see its potential. | ||

Wow! That reveal at the end. So infernals are not just getting a visual overhaul, but an entire gameplay redesign that's fascinating. On another note, I wonder what the game would be like if it played at a slightly faster game speed. Worth testing? | ||

Im all for it. They really need to rework the whole thing with more interesting units. Improve buildings etc. Sounds good to me. | ||
