eREPUBLIK UPDATE - "BRILLINAT"

Day 3,468, 13:43 Published in USA Netherlands by Feynmann

Hi guys,

Today I want to share my thoughts on the recent update Santa Plato presented us with.






Yeah, judging by your posts most of you are in "awe" of the new features.

Obviously there are some positive features, for the regular citizen, like the increased energy regeneration and the increased house durability.

But the update seemed to have messed up in a positive or negative way with a lot of the house builders' businesses and, at least for me, it kind of additionally over-complicates the game.


But I won't be giving detailed info on the update in this article. You can read all about it in the swarm of articles written today.


I wanted to share something about this update that I found really troubling, at least for me.


When I saw there's a maintenance today, I was very excited, cause I thought some of the game features that I was expecting, impatiently, were finally going to be implemented. But when I saw THAT I was like ...





I am sure a lot of you guys felt the same.

Now I am not an IT guy and I don't have any experience with coding, BUT it seems like the game developers invested quite some human resource in making this update possible.

- They had to add a lot of new features to EVERY in-game region - local governments, local taxes, residential applications etc.

- They had to tweak the existing houses adding some additional durability, depending on the residence region.

- They had to add town development, residents' statistics, properties, etc.

- They had to add bonus Energy pools and Energy regeneration

- Etc., etc., etc. .....


So they put ALL THAT EFFORT to create something that is






And I couldn't help myself, but wonder - couldn't all that hard work been dedicated for something else, that is at least a bit more meaningful???


Weren't there some game features, that needed additional work??? I have some hard time remembering ....

Was it

This one





Probably not ... could it be that one





Still not sure ... its probably that one





Oooooh I know it has to be this one




I mean, guys, seriously you have some pending game features that every player is eager to be implemented. The air more is super cool, but it is going nowhere, people are craving Q6 & Q7 Houses and higher quality air weapons/companies and the Perception OMG!!!

And you put ALL THAT EFFORT in creating this .... "brilliant update"???




As I said I am not an IT guy, but I believe adding, not 4, but EVEN 1 miserable Perception center would not have wasted you so much resources and would have made a lot of players happy. For that amount of work, you have put in this update, you could have easily implemented higher quality Air weapons/Air companies or/& Q6/7 Houses.

I am not sure how you make your game development decisions and how do you select the new features you want to implement, but I hope its not something like:




So to wrap this up I suggest you start listening to what the players are looking for or at least finish the ideas YOU started.





That's for today guys

Good luck picking up your residence - I hear living in the suburbs is great.


REMEMBER GUYS - ALWAYS BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER

CHEERS!!!
