A new year is almost upon us and another year of Shadow Era development begins… and continues!
After a few months of absence I was really excited to check back into the Shadow Era forums and see how the promised development from the Dec 2013 KickStarter had progressed. Although I noticed there’s minimal development in the game itself in the recent months, I hoped maybe a sneak peak or beta testing of the new campaign or 2 vs 2 matches would be available before its release in the next big patch. Unfortunately the forum has the same threads, as it’s had for the last year, asking the same questions - Dedicated community members who want to see this game succeed, asking for dates of development delivery and offering their assistance to the cause only to be given frustration in return with lack of response.
The only change in the forum appears to be a reduced amount of activity in comparison to the previous year.
I do hope Wulven eventually capitalize on their dedicated community. Wulven could save immense amounts of time, resources, money and produce a higher quality product if they opened the development specification discussions to the forum. Shadow Era Community members would be honoured to contribute to the product, share their ideas and point out pitfalls before they occur. I’d hate to think of how much time and resource was wasted in developing the 3D battlefield that mimicked HearthStone, only to be discarded when shown to the SE Community. It would be disastrous if the long awaited new development was also sub-par and rejected by the community.
(Especially taking into account that the new campaign and 2 vs 2 matches if designed well will set Shadow Era above other current TCG’s)
I had planned on returning to my former SE forum addict like ways, however I’ll put that on pending until there is viable development to discuss. (At that time I'll also be back and bouncing in the greatest guild "BP" and hosting some LIVE Pop Ups!)
I wish the SE community and Wulven a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
