Why still only 2 developers?

Postby Banok » Wed Nov 28, 2012 1:09 am

Im really curious about this, I guess because I'm disapointed alot of the stuff I expected soon back in alpha is still not here. I realise seatribe outsource most the modeling and artwork, but I don't understand why there are only 2 developers for a commercial, publisher funded game.

Salem will always be a niche, but I would have thought the game has received enough money/attention by now for paradox to justify hiring more than 2 developers.

I'm not asking them to sell their souls to EA and become some corporate machine. but surely hiring some extra programmers (or maybe just some people to make the tea), would mean we could have more nice things by now, such as ponies.

I'm pretty sure that Seatribe is developing the game and not Paradox.

Because more developers would mean that jorb and loftar's vision gets **** on and convoluted. Just have patience.

And just because you wanted it in alpha, does not mean you will EVER get it. ;)

I edited "wanted" to "expected soon". Makes me sound less like a brat ;)

You are right, I didn't read the post. I just read the title. What do you expect people to say in this thread? Maybe it should be in ideas and innovations, or maybe you could have sent a PM to the devs or something asking them about this?

I dunno, this just looks like spam to me.

I seriously am curious for actual reasons why. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Ive been wondering for a while, I just knew this thread wouldn't be well received. How could anyone question the methods of the gods themselves, eh?

I admit this didn't occur to me.

They said all the grunt coding work is done and adding more people would just be a waste.

If they contract out the artwork and modelling then you can think of it as being more than 2 developers. Not many independents hire lots of permenant staff.
