Bloodly posted:The danger being that Minerals Control Everything(Potentially giving a real concrete advantage to the cold-lovers that can spiral) and mixed resources tend to be a pain because no building by default exploits the combos. So you tend to leave them clear. I already mostly played arctic penguins, just gives me another excuse to never start on not snow. Though since I probably won't touch non-robots for a while, sand is also tempting. Energy is good.

Actually in the future no one has any gender, or sex. You keep your hands to yourself. Reproduction is handled via mitosis.

yo mune, they're dev diaries, not love letters. they're meant to drum up excitement so you get more sales when a thing gets released. attention & expectation from the consumers aren't a side effect of the diaries, they're p. much the reason you guys write them in the first place. not sure there's a reason or need to get coy about that

Good to know that not having the exact number of portraits is the main thing that will ruin your excitement.

Even if you take it that way. anyway it weirds me out that so many of the threads here turn into hugboxes favoring the developer. like, why? it's just a thing you sometimes buy. it's okay to be a little critical. if some outfit puts out promo material and the finished product doesn't deliver on it (by a little or by a lot), then the burden is on them to run a tighter ship; there's nothing wrong with the buyer for wrinkling their nose at any disparity between the two.

It helps when the dev who most often comments in the thread is actively from the community of the board and was hired(Seemingly) due to what he'd done whilst on the board.

The "ad material" (not what a dev diary is) just says that they have 12 portraits planned.

I noticed they basically removed any penalties to interacting with sectors, which seems like a HUGE change. I wonder if it's a sign of even bigger sector changes going forward in the next expansion.

LordMune posted:And somehow people still wonder why developers are reluctant to discuss anything that isn't 100% nailed down and finalized. v Well, yeah. Setting expectations is pretty important. When a developer suggests they're going to do X and then doesn't fully deliver on that, customers tend to be disappointed. Especially when X is part of a paid DLC that you're charging money for. This isn't some crazy thing that only insane videogame addicts do - ordinary business clients buying boring-as-hell enterprise software do it too. Next time, underpromise and overdeliver, instead of overpromising and under-delivering.

It is surprising how many people find 4 portraits to be a deal breaker in what appears to be a pretty crunchy DLC otherwise? Like they're good portraits but, I mean, is that really the appeal?

Wiz said on other boards, either Reddit or Plaza, that the decision was made to do 8 high quality portraits rather than 12 medium quality ones. I'll take that trade.
