OK, so I?m kind of off the leash to discuss stuff incredibly openly with you and keep you very well informed as to what to expect from the game. This is quite unusual, but I'm happy to do this so long as things go as follows:
1) Play nice. I?m here because I?m interested in your opinions and want to engage and discuss about the game. I love debate, but let?s always remember to respect other people?s opinions and when the time comes, agree to disagree like human(e) beings and walk away. ?
2) Be reasonable. I want to give you all unprecedented access, but the usual rules apply: there are things that I cannot discuss for various reasons until the proper time. Please don?t think that this is some sort of cover-up or that I just don?t WANT to give you these things: It?s because I can?t, and not because I won?t!
3) Go like the Facebook page, please follow the Twitter and register/visit the official forums. There?s very few ways in which people putting their hard efforts (and indeed their hard money) into something can judge how things are going easily ? these are a few of them. It may feel like an empty gesture, but for the reasons above it?s incredibly useful: it motivates and comforts those people. And that always makes my life a million percent easier.
4) The long form posts I've promised, as well as the dev diaries etc, will be put on the official forums (for the above reasons: every time we get a click we can see how popular the game is!) and I?ll link to them here. That way we get some traffic to help build awareness, but you don?t have to feel compelled to leave your comments there if you?d rather chat here amongst yourselves: Other companies would try and move the community to their own house: I would only encourage you to visit! Sounds fair?
Right then. Onwards!
