I try to record all updates to the game here. Each changelog post should have a relevant forum post, so head there for discussion: Announcements
03/25/2022 - War Naming Votes |
---|
Hey everyone, Quick update on the timing of the new changes. I think we will wait until around April 1. We would have deployed the changes early this week, but a new war broke out over the weekend, and we didn't want to risk interfering with things. On the note of war, here are two war naming threads where you can vote to name each war: https://politicsandwar.com/bulletin/id=10466/great-war-22-naming-vote https://politicsandwar.com/bulletin/id=10649/great-war-23-name-nominations Posted by Alex 03/25/2022 10:46 pm |
03/16/2022 - Upcoming Changes |
Hello everyone, It's been a bit chaotic lately, but I think we're on track to deploy the following changes to the live server early next week:
Once these changes are deployed and any outstanding issues are resolved, some top next priorities include (but are not limited to):
Among other general game improvements. --- I know that I have not done the best job over these past few months of keeping up with things - a lot of the work that has been done on the game has been stuff behind the scenes, such as setting up a pretty comprehensive moderator UI to allow me to hire moderators to help out with daily moderation work, which is a lot more to do than you might think. Getting that established and getting the new moderators trained in has been really, really helpful in freeing up more of my time to actually work on development. Another roadblock was that the part-time developer I hired a year and a half ago had no prior experience playing Politics and War. While she is a great programmer and has made a ton of quality-of-life improvements in that time, anything related to game mechanics has required a ton of oversight. The new part-time developer I am bringing on has experience playing the game and it should be far easier for him to do bug fixes and make changes to mechanics fairly independently, which ought to speed up the process of game development significantly. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask here and I'll do my best to answer. Thanks everyone for playing the game and making this community what it is; none of this would mean much if it wasn't for all of you players building and maintaining the community around the game Posted by Alex 03/16/2022 10:49 pm |

02/23/2022 - Great War 21 Naming Vote |
Hey everyone, You can vote on a name for Great War 21 here: https://politicsandwar.com/bulletin/id=9053/great-war-21-naming-vote Soon, I'm hoping to have some real poll functionality built into the in-game bulletin system. But until then, we've got a workaround where the first 10 responses to the bulletin contain a voting option, and you can vote (for as many of them as you want) by "Like"ing the reply.
