More news coming very soon...


Will we see another patch before the expansion?

Any chance the expansion will be released this year?

When will mod support be implemented?

FONTS (More readable fonts when using higher resolutions) My Monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080.

My eyesight is just not what it use to be and the current fonts are a real struggle for me. Will this issue be addressed?

It is bad PR to say the least.

Agreed. Even at 1680x1050, I'm getting some font blur. [:(]

Almost a month on since Erik posted that (it seems like longer) and all we really know is that there is beta testing being done for the expansion.

I hope that the expansion will be ready this year, but I don't want it rushed out. Take your time guys, but please give us an update.[&o]<This is me begging.

I feel bad about this because I've asked before and there was a response....but...it has been a month......monthly updates would be nice.  Maybe just a hey we're still alive and working would be cool.



Groovynatureguy -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/21/2010 10:16:33 PM)

something... anything...



ductape -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/22/2010 8:50:41 AM)

we will probably get something like, "we are working on some great stuff...more news by the end of the year."

mods support, REAL mod support is what would have kept this community alive, but it's fizzled a bit. I hope it can spring back.



Dohon -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/22/2010 8:54:02 AM)

I know I would buy the expansion in a heartbeat. This is the best 4X on the market for me and anything that gets added to that will get my money.

A few sneakpeeks would be nice though.

If they can't/won't fix 'missing messages' bug via patch before expansion, I don't buy it.



ZeroSum -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/22/2010 3:13:02 PM)

I have to say that I am a bit surprised...

Erik made the effort to post to this forum last night to point out that someone bumped an old DW thread but failed to respond to this thread.

While I doubt it was his intent it does come off as a bit rude.

Ever since the last patch on 7/30/10 this forum has been starved for information concerning future patches and any news about the expansion.

At this point I doubt that we are going to see another patch prior to the expansion and that is disappointing.

I agree...

REAL mod support would keep this community going between patches and expansion packs.

I feel that DW really would have benefited from one more solid patch updating the in-game info and tutorial with the various tweaks made to the game since release as well as adding real mod support. This should have been done before moving forward on the expansion.

I believe the mod support would have kept the community alive and growing as we waited for the expansion.

Hi guys,

We simply haven't been ready to discuss, several things need to be in place in order to make an official announcement and preview and we're still working on this. The expansion is in testing and we are very busy making tweaks, fixes and improvements based on tester feedback. The goal is to release this expansion before Christmas, so we're very quickly approaching the point where we will have to make an announcement if we believe we can make that date. I can say that the promised mod support and the galactopedia update will be in the expansion, though we also plan to add those enhancements to the next original DW release update.

Regards,

- Erik

This will make me very happy. [&o][&o][&o]

Looking forward to more DW goodies. :)

That's all I needed to know for now. Thank you, Erik.[:)]



sabre1 -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/23/2010 7:22:28 AM)

Put me on the list for readable fonts. It's just to hard for these old eyes. Thanks!



Baleur -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/25/2010 12:06:53 PM)

ZeroSum update the first post with Erik's reply so ppl can find it easily :)



ZeroSum -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/25/2010 11:22:21 PM)

Any news on when or if the font issue will be addressed?

Carewolf -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/26/2010 10:41:12 AM)

To clarify: Do you just want bigger text or a different font?

I could imagine just taking DPI into consideration would solve the size problem. You probably have the same problem on the Windows Desktop and have set the font-size setting (indirectly setting the logical DPI), so the game could reuse the Windows setting.

But I am not a developer, I am just trying to clarify the wish.



Gertjan -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/26/2010 6:21:18 PM)

Thanks, especially for updating the galactopedia. I suppose the galactopedia will also be revised for the vanilla version of the game?

I would like the option to increase the size of the font. However, it is possible that a new font might do the trick as well.

martok -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/26/2010 11:13:59 PM)

Thanks for the small update, Erik. I won't deny the lack of information has been frustrating, but I also know you guys have been busy. I'm especially glad to hear the galactopedia update will be incorporated into the vanilla game (as well as the expansion).

Yes. From Erik's above post:

Sorry I should have read it better.



martok -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/27/2010 11:40:24 PM)

No apology necessary, mate. It was a point worth emphasizing anyway. [:)]



Igard -> RE: More news when? Also... Who else needs more readable fonts? (10/28/2010 12:30:37 AM)

It'd be cool to be able to change the font to one of our choosing.

I've got a few Star Trek fonts that would really look good.

I've added this to the modders wishlist thread.

I just thought of translating that into a DW font at hi-res but I'm not very motivated just now.
