Can we have an ask the developers section?


(Isabel Lucas) #1

Hi,

There are outstanding questions on ETQW that many of us would like to ask.

Could we possibly have an “Ask the developers section” to the forum where people can post a question direct to the developers?

Answers could then aslo be re-arranged into a FAQ list to help stop repeat questions and provide an easily accessible info base which is of benefit to all.

How about it SD?

Al.

Yeah, I want to know when the Demo is coming out. LOL.
and will I have to pay for this game LOL :). I mean the original ET was free, why now we have to pay for this? LOL

Also, what is better, crapes with hazelnut spread, or american style pancakes with maple syrup?

I think the devs just answer the topics in the General Discussion forum when they feel like it. Quite some questions have been answered, people only asked it again every once in a while.
Having a seperate forum would still be no help, it would take too long to keep it clean.

I would keep the situation as it is and it would help if people would search for older topics before posting. Besides, members like Rhoades already run a FAQ, and I guess it’s better if one guy maintains it. Only better alternative to that one is a wiki, imo.

American pancakes with strawberries tbh.

Why should you get the game for free… ? do you expect to go to the garage and have your car fixed without paying… ? LOL
On topic: i agree with kamikazee
Also ET was not intended to be a free game it just turned out that way.

Roger that jjpron :disgust: :frowning: :bored: //

Thanks Fab, I was just joking. I’ve been playing wolf since the shareware days, so I’m up and up on the whole history.

Digibob:
I can’t believe you’d pick American pancakes! To each his own though. Thanks for the game btw.

I prefer marmite and a spoon :chef:

Dont u think the developers have more important things to do then answer all silleh questions that would arise from such a post. Pie eating contests and the like!


(Joe999) #8

the whole forum is what you want, afaik the devs read and consider everything. stopping repeat questions doesn’t work, best example is the topic you just created :slight_smile:

here you find the faq you’re searching for:

haven’t tried pancakes with strawberries yet, sure will do once they’re in the garden. yammm.

pancakes with Maple syrup hmmmm im hungry now…


(XziteD) #10

such kind of forum won`t make to much sense. cause the developers… how you will get them in any forum? maybe them post at offical forum. tbh, i rarly see developers who care about the community


(Sauron|EFG) #11

I think you all need to stop asking the devs question and let them finish the game instead. :wink:

crepes with Nutella AND strawberries ftw


(Lanz) #13

You know, since the game isn’t finished yet, the game might have to be balanced further, things might change, things might get removed etc. Comming here and telling us about all those neat functions that still might not be finalised serves no one. Then people will start saying “they lied to us” or “why isn’t that function in any longer” when it’s no longer there or changed dramatically in the final version. For them I guess it’s just better to shut up and keep working on the game than having to explain themself later on and to keep som thunder for the release date. What they do tell us is probably things that wont change that dramatically in the final version.

My point is, a forum like that would not have any real purpose than being filled with lots and lots of unanswered questions.

crapes folded over hot cherries and a nice cold spoon or two of vanila ice cream… :notworthy: brb off to find crapes


(psyco_mario) #15

How about a nice piece of folded up paper, covered in printer ink, with pencil shavings ontop?

American pancakes with strawberries tbh.[/quote]

As you can see the devs are doing their best and are always willing to answer our questions here in the forums.
:smiley:

Not sure about an additional forum.
But maybe a thread.
So that the forum members can take part in “answering” of the already been asked and answered questions (see the FAQ).

On the other hand.
The game is in developing process.
So

Like Halo 2 and the ATV, they showed renders and pictures of it and its not in the game. That would have been sweet if they had it in there :frowning:
