General Discussion / Better development communication
« on: June 06, 2013, 09:35:04 PM »
I know there are plenty of topics relating to what could or should be done to get Blockland more well known in the gaming community, but I haven't seen this one suggested yet and it's a pretty large thing to me and many other avid gamers.
If you look at any major indie games, eg. Minecraft, they have near constant development news and communication with their customers. When Blockland switched from versions to revisions, meaning more frequent updates, that was a very needed and well done step taken towards this, but we can still go a month or two with no word on the development of the game. This literally means that no work could be made for weeks and we would never know, not that I'm saying Eric is obligated to work on this game every second of his life, but I think to get a game on Greenlight or the such, you would need an active development team or leader.
Badspot does indeed have a Twitter account, which is rarely used, but I think if just simple updates to what he was currently working on or what he plans on working on in the near future would prove to any company interested in selling Blockland on their client, that we have an active and resourceful developer.
That's just my thoughts, and it would be nice to see some change in this aspect.
