Hi developers and everyone else reading. Just wanted to mention that I absolutely love Renegade-X and I am looking forward to beta 3. Having that said I wanted to ask something. I've posted this in game to a dev. a few times and I nodded about it ingame many times.
I can't understand the lack of communication about progress sometimes. I completely understand everyone is doing this voluntarily and that time is short, but I really think that a small post every now and than can lead to more involvement of the players, more appreciation for the developers and thus a better game. If I run into a problem I would probably not have put it on the forum a few months ago, cause I didn't get the feeling it was closely followed. That might be my perception, but I guess a lot of people will have this attitude.
Posting updates takes time, but how difficult would it be to recruit some extra volunteers to do this? I think the community can help out a lot.
Few example:
- Not sure how bugs are tracked atm, but allow someone access to a buglog / codetracker and let him / her write an update every few weeks to keep thinks going.
- Allow people to test problems and document them using video and post them on the forum. I know everyone can, but how hard would it be to find a few dedicated volunteers to join in this?
- Assign a few people to answer forum questions
And so on...
A lot of people will be more than happy to participate. Keep up the good work!
