So,

Podcat said there's no DevDiary coming this Friday today because they're busy working. This and the Paradox Holiday calendar make me think (Sherlock at his best here) that there's something coming before the end of the month.

What do you think it will be?

Closed beta? Proper gameplay video? Demo? End of the world?


PS: I always thought writing DDs was kind of peanuts for them, but apparently it takes time. I honestly wonder why.

Try not to get too caught up. They probably just have an internal deadline that they want to meet to stay on track.

Dev Diaries /probably/ don't take too awful long, just the time to have a topic and gather the info.. Then also the time watching the forum.

But as I understand it there are only 3 programmers on this project. So that represents a significant portion of work if one of them were to stop working to produce a diary, (or perhaps more than 1).

PS: I always thought writing DDs was kind of peanuts for them, but apparently it takes time. I honestly wonder why.

Proper writing takes time - there's a big difference between punching out a forum post and writing a properly written and structured piece that has to cover specific pieces of information (while often not talking about other things that aren't finished) - then as DarkRenown explained in the 'no DD' thread, if the person writing doesn't know all the details they need to talk with whoever does, chewing up time for both of them as well. If they're working long days in a crunch period, justifying that time when other things need doing can be difficult, and I wouldn't want anyone working 10-12+ hour days (and I'd guess if it's like crunch in other places hitting it on the weekends) working longer just to push out a DD.

I am curious as to whether we'll get anything HoI4-related on that advent calendar - I could dig a pre-order :).

Yeah i doubt they'd be planning anything public. From what PodCat said in the thread on the number of people working on the game that number seems the manpower pool fluctuates depending on internal deadlines (and they have had "10-12" working this past week), so I imagine that they simply have a notable internal deadline coming up, hence the prioritisation of that over a DD.
