Stellaris Q&A today at 3pm CEST

[candyalien]

Hey everyone. We are doing a short Q&A
at 3pm CEST today on the Paradox Twitch channel.
It will be focussing on Synthetic Dawn. If you have any questions you'd like me to ask live on stream - submit them here

 

[Harlot]

Do you plan to make a flavor DLC with more varied celestial objects like magnetars, hot jupiter class planets, white and brown dwarves, multiple star systems etc? Maybe combine it with some sort of tourism or galactic wonder mechanic?

Love you guys like a Blorg. Cheers! o/

 

[Harlot]

Will the Roblorg be a new premade race available in the DLC?

 

[BjornB]

The stream starts now! Tune in to https://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive

The stream will, as always, be available to watch later through either the Twitch VOD archive. Or through our Paradox Extra Youtube channel where you can find (pretty much) all our previous streams!

What has changed in the QA process since the last patches and expansions?

Nothing has changed to the process because it wasn't broken. However, we're giving 1.7 remains in development and testing, along with the data being gathered from the public Beta, 1.8 has a slightly longer post-production phase so we can spend a little more time on bug fixing and polish and as some people might have noticed, Wiz opted to stay in the office this week to work on the game rather than talk to journalists or live stream at Gamescom.

We're dedicated to ensuring that going forward we make best effort to deliver the gaming experiences you expect of us, and to exceed where possible.

 

[Dnote]

Does that mean that a 1.7 will eventually come out, or will all be merged for 1.8?

We've not made a decision on that yet, it depends how things go.

 

[Dnote]

Wait, are you seriously saying nothing is broken in your process after 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 all released with major game breaking issues. I didn't think my expectations could get any lower but here we are.

Not with the QA process, there were other issues and we've changed the relevant things since then to theoretically improve the situation going forward.

If you want to point fingers and lay blame, as Product Manager, I'm ultimately the one that is accountable at the end of the day.

@Dnote I cant find the VODs on either on the youtube channel or on twitch. I can only see a Battletech video from yesterday but no QA session about Stellaris. Please may this noob get a direct link to the video on either site to watch it?

EDIT: Never mind, the twitch video contains it, I only checked the youtube VOD

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/168909871 <- jump to 1h 06m 10s mark and it will be Stellaris.

And 10 minutes after my post, the video also went up on Youtube.
