so Netdevil, how much is already set in stone for Jumpgate Evolution?

daslog

It's fun to come up with ideas, but it's kinda worthless when the ideas don't have a chance in hell of being implemented because they are not feasible.

For example:

Is it possible to add sectors?
Are POS changes (such as only allowing them in Unreg) doable?
Do HG/Military/Civilian tags have to stay in the game?

Jump

They have already stated that they will be releasing info on a timely basis as things move toward beta and release. It is not likely they will reply to this thread with anything other that what has been released.

Ambrosius

My sense is that ND is interested in player ideas and feedback. I suspect that they do not want to get into specific Q&A -- but I can't speak for them of course.

If you think you have a good idea or suggestion, it's worth posting, but expecting anything more than a tiny fraction of ideas in a forum like this to make their way into the game would (IMO) be extremely unrealistic.

For the DsD interview, there was a question that I edited out of the final release. I asked Istvan whether suggestions from the JOSSH Ideas & Suggestions forum had made their way into Jumpgate Evolution. His answer was "Yes" (He would/could not elaborate).

Scorch

The ideas are VERY helpful. At a high level, nothing is really in stone as when we open the beta if the feature sucks, it will get changed.

Injustice

Guess that settles that, time to get back to brainstorming

Thanks Scorch!!

Its good to know you guys are reading...appreciate the post.

I think it's very smart for ND to use the "brain-trust" that is the vets of Jumpgate Classic. All our ideas are free and even if only 1/100 get used, they'll still be benefiting the new game. (Did I mention our advice is free?

)

Thanks for posting Scorch. The old playerbase likes to feel valued.

Are you trying to say he replied with "anything other that what has been released?" That would be quite a stretch.

No, I'm just trying to give you a hard time

Is it just me or does it sound like "that guy" actually wants to develop a game that players want instead of one that publishers want?

There is no publisher. Read the Gamsutra interview and it will shed lot's of light on Scott's thinking and how it affects Jumpgate.
