That's the problem though. I don't have some intern to go and do what you're looking for. I'm not likely to get more XML interaction in the FE series. I'm still yelling to get python scripting into whatever comes post-FE which would solve a lot of problems. But in FE itself, the XML isn't strong enough for total conversions but it's too strong for FE-specific AI coding. I think the AI in FE is good enough (by far) for most players. B

I don't want to oversell the expansion. It's an expansion, not a new game. It's refinement not revolution. So how much the expa

AI can't recruit heroes from across the map. It uses the same API players do. It'll return an error if they're out of range. So even if I wanted the AI to cheat I couldn't. Most of the AI suggestions I read on the forums boil down to people making assumptions that the AI isn't already trying to do something or assuming they should do something because they see something they can't see. You can always turn on the FOWCheat in the corediffic

It's looking increasingly unlikely. We only have 1 network engineer and he's on a different project. We ARE hiring so if you know anyone who's looking to make multiplayer games, send in a resume. I have a situation where I have the budget to add MP but I don't have the people.

With RT apps,it's always a guessing game as to whether you can let it go in the background or not. for example, get an RT app that is supposed to catalog images. Load it up and it says "cataloging images, please wait.." So I go to another app and do something. When I return, i find the app was paused because it wasn't The active app. So no, I don't see RT as a good platform for PC users.

Windows 8 sucks. I even have a Surface RT to give Microsoft's vision a fair chance in an ideal setting and have given metro plenty of tries On a PC. It's inferior. Vastly inferior.

General responses and thoughts: My personal views include: 1. I think we have a good thing with Fallen Enchantress. 2. I think it being called Elemental: Fallen Enchantress is a drag on Fallen Enchantress 3. I would imagine future games would still exist in the same world and continue to enrich the lore. 4. The game design itself would continue to evolve, fairly dramatically. 5. I wouldn't want to call a sequel to Fallen Enchantress FE

I don't think there'll be a Fallen Enchantress 2 per se. After all, it's actually called Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. Rather, the scenario I'm most comfortable with is starting with Fallen Enchantress and creating a new game. People have said nice things about Warlock without realizing that it's an evolution of Fantasy Wars / Elven Legacy. Fallen Enchantress and what we do next would exist in the same world but it would be called someth

A lot of people would like to see crafting in some future expansion, update, sequel, whatever. The question is, HOW do you imagine this working?

Something like this:

Go right ahead. no matter how disappointed we are with a game, personalizing it on an individual is Wrong.

1. me like. BTW, where is the mod for the tree sprites? 2. me like part 2. Though, i'd rather see this as a hot key. 3. Me really like. REALLY like. 4. also like. 5. Coming Where have you been all my life, darxim?

I'll chime in w the above comment about road building. It is incredibly annoying to have to make huge loops around the 'U' shaped road system. This can be counteracted some with a governor hero who has road building, but I'll be honest and say I am not at all sure how the road bu

For those of you who have played a lot of FE, how are you feeling about v1.2? We put quite a bit of time and effort into making the AI smarter. Are you seeing a difference?

Guys, I don't think many of you are getting the level of hate that gets directed at people these days. I get called "retard", "moron", "fucktard", "douchebag", etc. pretty regularly. That's nothing. What people don't realize is that there are people out there who will put serious effort into antagonizing the people who make their games (if they're accessible). I've had people PM me saying that my kids (who they name in the email) should be "an

My threshold of hating someone would be the emails that consist of "You should kill yourself" or "I hope you get cancer and die horribly!" or "I hope you and your wife and kids die in agony".

too heavy for me. :( I like my Surface RT though.

I think of all the idiotic things I see people on forums say all the time without realizing that they're demanding others live up to standards that they themselves are incapable of maintaining. Nobody deserves to have hate thrown at them. These are fucking video games. If you don't like them, don't buy them. But your purchase doesn't give you the right to shit on other people. Sorry to be so harsh on this. It just really ticks me off to see any sort of rational

Wow. I'm so on the other side of this. I so much want there to be more decision making. If I were emperor of FE, I'd have more sliders (not just taxes) and I've had city terrain matter a lot more. Probably a good thing I wasn't the designer. ;)

[quote who="pacov" reply="35" id="3310845"] So, your take is that even if you owned the rights to the Demigod IP it would be better to scrap the IP and come up with something else if you wanted to create another Moba? Hearing that makes me a bit sad. I realize that DG made you folks some money and was certainly profitable, just bummed that you think public perception wise that Demigod 2 would not succeed... and perhaps it would be best left as is.&nbs

I think I can relate. I don't think I'll ever look at Internet communities the same after Elemental.

Connecting tens of thousands of people at once on differing connections worldwide is very hard to do. Obviously, if we had had to do it over again with the benefit of hindsight, we'd have done it as F2P. But back then, retail was king. It was the prima

[quote who="Alstein" reply="33" id="3310005"]Are the quest pack and item pack ideas scrapped, or are they being tied into the expansion? [/quote] Not scrapped. Just not available yet.

Chris Taylor is one of the best people I've ever met. Let me tell you about the man I know and why he deserves everyone's support. Chris Taylor has run Gas Powered Games in a way that most people claim they wish companies were run. He has always run GPG as a compassionate person who cares deeply about each person he works with. He has tried to run GPG as a place where people could have lives outside of work. One of the things most peopl

Totally wish you'd sell impulse (step 1 complete), buy the ip rights to dg, and change your business model to support a f2p game and collect billions. Let me know if you decide you want to hire a fanatic for this sort of thing. meanwhile, back in reality - brad, I'm
