Way to go Don & Joe. David, can you tell us if any design decisions or limitations have been put on the New and Improved WitP team? I'm sure you must have discussed a lot of the big picture type decisions with the new guys.

Excellent news! Congrats!!! [:D]

Yeah, but when I asked you turned me down. <_< Anyway, this sounds like great news. I'd buy a WitP II. :) Of course I want the new War in Russia more, but either is a pleasant thought.

Good to hear this has happened. I can only assume that Joe's attempt at an independent venture fell apart eventually due to lack of participation. I hope that this will produce results that will be acceptable to all...not that it will.[:D]

WitP II? Do it right this time...ditch the "it's all working as designed" playtesters and quit listening to the "we should take whatever they give us and pay extra" Matrix cheering section. Frankly, most of the game design issues were ID'ed when UV came out and the naysayers were ignored. Leading to the current fantasy POS with all the issues magnified on a theatre-wide scale. Gee, maybe listen to Ron et al. this time around instead of the Mogami/Frag clique. He's been pretty much spot on with his criticisms since UV...and they (Mogami/Frag), I suspect, have had a major negative impact on this games development with their idiocy. Not knocking or denigrating your continueing patching efforts and on-going support for the game...it's just hopeless since the game design is so badly flawed.

Welcome to the funny farm to Don Bowen and Joe Wilkerson and best wishes. Just try not to take us naysayers too personally. Blood pressure medication is too expensive. [:'(]

Big B -> RE: New Development for War In The Pacific -- MUST READ (3/3/2006 10:20:40 PM)
WOW!! Congratulations Joe Wilkerson and Don Bowen!![&o][&o] I have hope things will get even better!! [8D]

Greetings all, Some things to keep in mind. Because we don't want to get distracted by launching new initiatives until we've got the 1.8 patch in hand, we will not be focusing on new development activities initially. However, once we have 1.8 released, then we will be interacting with the forum more to determine what is next. As soon as Don and I have taken care of some logistical matters to get us up and running, we will be estimating a timeframe for 1.8 and we will get that to you, I expect that estimate to be done in about a week. Also, I have gone through ( manually ) the WITP Wish list thread and pulled the data from the first 400 or so items, in that list. There are a number of duplicates, but not too many. But I would say that the wish list is still a useful place to record suggestions. Thanks for the "greetings" and know that Don and I are excited to be joining the team and for the opportunity to try to take WITP in directions that will be good for all of us. Joe [:)]

I simply dont get the hatefulness of some of the people there. I chalk it up to passion for the game, which is a good thing. I guess. More like brutal honesty from a paying customer. A little more honest input and a lot less butt-nuzzling right from the start and maybe we wouldn't be talking "WitP II". If this was an accident victim (instead of a train wreck), it'd look like a mummy from all the layers of bandaids applied trying to stop arterial bleeding. I'll buy WitP II...maybe a year after its release. If the game designs been thought through. If my leaders don't dissappear. If land combat works. If air combat works. If the log system works. If you can play without an inch thick list of self-imposed "house rules" ect. And no...I don't play this game, and destroyed the disk in case I was ever tempted to re-install it for the umpteenth time. Good by again till next year or so...back to looking at the pictures.

Halsey -> RE: New Development for War In The Pacific -- MUST READ (3/3/2006 10:39:47 PM)
If you need a ground combat expert, I would recommend "Irrelevant". He seems to be among the few who actually understands it's workings.[;)]

Why does the name "Don Bowen" really sound familiar to me? Some association with old 3W or GDW or Avalon Hill maybe?

Bulldog61 -> RE: New Development for War In The Pacific -- MUST READ (3/3/2006 11:04:52 PM)
This is really great welcome aboad guys!

[:D] No sweat man. I have this vague memory of "Bowen" written artiste sig on old Avalon Hill cover art. Wondered if there was some conxtion.

WITP 2? What the hell would there be left to improve upon after patch 1.8? If everything works as planned, I really don't see how they could make the game more complete... Graphics...maybe??
