About The I&s Forum

I don't have anything in particular in mind when posting this, and do not mean it as an attack/flame in any way. I just wish that more of the good/common-sense ideas and suggestions posted would make it into the game in a timely matter. For example, the Jetpack notification in the scoreboard and a seperate building parasite sprite are in the game now, but they had been suggested many versions ago and saw numerous releases without them being implemented. In new builds of NS, we rarely see anything but the slihgtest changes. Even the most basic things are seen as radical/ruining a "perfect" game.

I with that the I&S forum would be taken more seriously, and I want to see more things get done. I will make a bigger effort myself to contribute to it and to critique posts in it.

    Right now, <b>server side</b> updates are easier to manage and distribute but dont have alot of headway into what can/cannot be changed. With development of the next <b>client side</b> updates (ala 3.1), which tend to offer large gameplay and balance changes, takes much more time to code, manage, and distribute. Everything takes time.

    In all honesty, I&S = Ideas and <i>Suggestions</i>. Any gameplay changes fall in the hands of the Devs, who decide if your idea is actually worth putting into the game. :/

    And for the record about 20 or so items from the I&S subfolders have been scoped for 3.1....

    Are they changes that should have been made a while ago.. Perhaps, but I&S has just recently (in the last year) been cleaned up and read by the dev team.

    If you check out the upcoming version subforum there are 3 stickied locked threads with ideas that are either in 3.0.X or coming in 3.1...

    More will be highlighted as I announce more 3.1 features...

    The fact there has been no Devs corners the past 2 weeks (thanks to my job <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) means that the next show (this coming week) will HAVE to contain some stuff <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
