[Teurlinx]

omg, those chakrams are so much fun

What do you guys think about playing hardcore?

[SAS]

Which title are you refering to? We are not involved in the projects "AGEOD" signed on as third party development before we were in the picture (titles being developed on their engine by other studios).

Kind regards

ALEA JACTA EST Roman Civil Wars. But as you say I don't know if its a third party "loan" of the game engine.

Also when you are developing a game that your really are into, how hard it is not to tell us lowly posters and consumers of your goods?

You know that there's an "Ask Paradox France (almost) anything!" thread stickied on this forum right below this one, don't you?

But in fact yes, Alea Jacta Est is being developed by an outside team who licensed the AGE engine, while Paradox France themselves are working on Napoleon's Campaigns II.

I remember a few years back... How it was a good idea and great progress to self-publish your games and sell them digitally in your own store rather than shipping CDs worldwide via an external publisher who didn't understand the specifics of your titles. But now you seem to be regressing, first divorcing from GamersGate (seems like a done deal already), now separating the studio and the publisher. PDS and Johan suddenly again became vassals of an external publisher and external digital gaming outletS. So you're basically giving up on something that seemed such a big success to free yourself from a couple years ago.

Why do that?

I was under the impression that the PDS name was just made to distinguish the Paradox house games from the third party games.

PDS and the other studios (PDX North and PDX South) are as big a part of PDX as they've always been. There's no division when it comes to the aspects you speak of. PDS enjoys the same degree of autonomy they did before. Describing them as vassals is not apt methinks - How about the "chief export product" of the nation that is PDX?

Besides just because we're structured differently do you really think PDX suddenly "won't understand the specifics of the titles" any more? Right?

But essentially - PDX started as a dev studio and grew into a publisher - today Paradox as a whole is mainly a publisher that sports one of the finest internal dev studios in the world. So it's a progression - not a regression.

I forgot to mention on reddit yesterday, but I wanted to say that the new modability that you guys added to CK2 is really working out well. The new mod directory setup, exporting things like event modifiers and traits to sub-folders, and above all 'namespace' are each their own kind of brilliance. The localisation files are also more *elastic* than in earlier games. So a big thanks for your continued support of modders.

Question 1. Do you plan to use namespace in the events that PDS creates for CK2 and future games or is it something just for player-made content? It is easier to type in a namespace than to type in eight or ten or more unique numbers.

Question 2. Given the ability now to run several mods concurrently, do you plan to add more changes to the file structure to make mod compatibility easier? Particularly in the commons folder and in gfx and interface?

Finally, will whatever great top secret new game under development that you are not yet sharing with the rest of the world encompass a similar modability (yes, that's a word now ).

The finest.

[Stuckenschmidt]

Just saw the video concerning "Magicka - The other side of the Twilight bandwagon". Question: Why does the left guy in the video look like Breivik`s brown-haired brother?

Question 2: When will EU:Rome2 be announced?

[Andrew_C]

So... what's your character and level in D3?

Level 24 Demon Hunter
Level 18 Witch Doctor

I'm actually really excited to see how the story turns out.

[KaiserMuffin]

Will there ever be a release of the original HoI2/Darkest Hour map modding tool? Or a product that will reliably do this task for DH?

[ForzaA]

Who are you guys supporting for Euro 2012

Anyone but the Netherlands (I swear, as soon as I start believing they might achieve something, they flounder. My cynicism held until the final... )

and the Eurovision 2012 song contest?

Anyone but the actual participants.

[Davisx3m]
