Ask Paradox Development Studio anything!

So...

When is the football game coming? Is it Augustus? Will it be a Grand Strategy football game, where you gradually expand your fandom everywhere?

 

[Kallocain]

Ah, I see. Will try once I get a Windows PC (using Linux until I build one). Thanks for the help!

Just a tip, our new games are native to Linux, like EU4 for example.

Do you have a master list of all PDS Twitter and Facebook profiles? And why not?

Um, I don't think so? But one per game and then the one for the studio. Or do you mean all employees as well?

Do you miss the King ?


Edit: I'm talking about Chris obviously

He is still around, still lives in Stockholm. It's not like he died!

No, Augustus is the one about steampunk dinosaurs fighting the nazis from the dark side of the moon. Come on, we've said this on countless occasions!
The football game will come when the US starts to call the right game football.

This is a Catch-22. Don't you know they've been waiting for you to release a football game before they do?

[WingedLion14]

Would you guys ever make a game like Rise of Nations or Age of Empires? That genre at the moment is severely lacking.

Oh, so it's already in production then. If you guys need any help with rosters and things please let me know.

 

[nikssims]

Let them make the game first.

But he asked about what they think right now about this, now what they will think after the game is released. They can tell what they are planning now and that doesn't need game to be released.

Just another question, are you fellows going to make a Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV Launchers for Linux?

I'm in the process of writing a cross-platform launcher (Windows, OSX, Linux) that provides many more options for managing and customising the game than the standard Windows/Mac launcher. Might not be out for another month or two.

I'm doing it for EU4 but I could make a CK2 version (with fewer features, but still better than the default launcher) with minimal extra effort.

Oh mint, that sounds awesome!

 

[Simoleum]

After reading about the potential invasion of Japan and how they considered the amount of civilian resistance, will this be a feature in HoI4? Really nationalist nations have high civilian defense? (and in other games generally)
Also, if you hacve anything planned for Vic3, can you say some? Victoria 2 was the game that got me into Paradox games and it is still my favorite, and I'm thinking like.. Are you planning to do some radical graphic changes, or more/less provinces? If you have thought of anything at this stage.

Thanks for reading at least (and possibly replying )
Have a good day !

How many different unreleased PDS games have at least one developer assigned to them?

All of them.

 

[sgt.stickybomb]

is there any kind of office drama going on right on? did anyone get pregnant and you are trying to guess who the daddy is?

 

[Sn3ipen]

Just another question, are you fellows going to make a Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV Launchers for Linux?

I am using these launchers on Linux made by drFlK and they are working great.

EU4 LAuncher
CK2 Launcher

The easiest thing would of course be an official launcher thats made by PDS.

Source?

 

[duhsveti]

Do you guys plan on making a Europa Universalis 4 to Victoria 2 converter?

 

[Darkath]

Do you guys plan on making a Europa Universalis 4 to Victoria 2 converter?

In a recent podcat interview we learned that they wouldn't do a V2 to HOI4 converter because the gap, in terms of engine, is too large, so i doubt we'll ever see EU4 to V2 either. Though we'll probably see EU4 to V3 and V3 to HOI4 one day

 

[delra]

So also no Runemaster to HoI4 converter then. :'-(

When it comes to working at PDS, you've said swedish is preferred. What is your opinion on similar languages, like norwegian and danish?

They've got at least one Dane working for them, so I guess they're fine with the other Scandinavian languages.
