Adam Ryland Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 This post is to recap and clarify the purpose of this forum, as recently there seems to have been some misunderstandings about it. The most important thing to note is that suggestions made here are relating to TEW2020, not for TEW2020. The primary purpose is to provide ideas on what people would like to see added or changed in future TEW releases. If you've followed any of the developer's journals in the past, you will have already seen this in action, as they generally contain 150+ items culled from the Suggestions forum. That does not mean that suggestions made here can't appear in TEW2020 - there's a list below of what has already been done, and more will likely be covered - only that it's not the purpose of the forum and users should not come in with the expectation that their ideas will be added to this iteration. What will be considered for TEW2020? Suggestions would be considered for adding to TEW2020 only if they're relatively small. I can only work on TEW during my spare time, which is weekday nights and weekends, and technical support always takes priority. This means that if a suggestion would take more than a few evenings of work to code and test, it isn't realistic to expect it to be considered. Responding to individual posts With all of the above in mind, people should not expect individual responses to their posts. This is both because of time constraints - I simply don't have time to do technical support, code stuff, and also respond to a bunch of threads or I'd have no free time at all - and because, as discussed, most of the content would be for future games anyway. Note that all posts are read though. Suggestions log This is a reduced version of the technical support change log, showing the modifications that have been made so far in response to user suggestions (whether via this board or by direct message).
