First of all a big thanks to everybody buying Shadow Empire and\/or Oceania during the last 2 weeks. It is much appreciated and there is plenty of feedback coming in! Positive and of course negative too. I am listening to both and will make adjustments and fixes where needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My plan is to share an outline of my development plans for Shadow Empire in a week or two. In the meantime I am still shuffling priorities to find the best angle of attack possible. So don’t be surprised if I am slower than expected. Shuffling takes time, you know…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can already share that I have planned quite a lot of work on the Core game which will slowly be moving towards 1.3 over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My aim is to address all the persistent major complaints that are specific. (I am not redoing the engine)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the moment I am working on an optional Blueprints feature that will help you design efficient new Model Types with much less clicking. Especially for aircraft design this will be a great tool. It should make an appearance in the open beta early next week or late this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that I also want to address economical\/bureaucratic snowballing, some minimal Planet-Gen customization options, AI using aircraft better and more often, a new “midcore” Logistics rules option that will be usable by the AI and much more. And in no particular order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am also looking towards the possibility of doing a second DLC. I have already done a poll question on that topic during Christmas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But I want to ask again now. I have also added some thematic. The choice below is very binary and no information about implementation is given on purpose. I just want to know which thematic appeals the most. I’ll take the outcome of this poll along in my decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
