When's the new DLC coming?

[Natasha-lynn]

Heyo,

it said DLC planned for spring. As Devs I'm sure you can work from home and since everyone has to stay home coz of the killer cold, it would be excellent to sell now , where the market is bigger and more willing to buy and also, I'm growing bored.

 

[TibblesTheCat]

You want them to sell an unfinished product?
Spring started yesterday, and lasts till june, with the announcements coming a month before release typically, I wouldn't expect it soon.

I’m having a hard time waiting too...

And being pretty much forced to stay home is making things even harder, but...

That sir, is a quality reference. Also, I suspect it will be quite quick, if Revelations is to be the benchmark, I felt it was announcement and release followed each other swiftly. Triumph seems to operate this way, finishing the product, drumming up an audience with announcements and dev diaries, followed by a swift(imo) release. Personally I love it. I'd rather wait a bit and then see an announcement and release 4-6weeks later, instead of an announcement now and 4 month wait.

As there is a limit on the amount of expansions that will be released for this game probably only 2 more I prefer to wait as long as possiable so that each expansion can contain as much content as possiable.

I have my fingers crossed and am hoping for more than just one new playable race, when all is said and done and all three expansions have been released.

Although new campaigns are fun and awesome ways to tell stories/introduce lore and new gameplay mechanics can help spice the game up more, I think that multiple new races and secret techs are what would add the most replayability to Planetfall...

Also, I wouldn’t mind mor customization options for commander creation.

Trouble is that the number of secret techs multiplies the amount of work produced each race.

i think i can wait

At least in Planetfall you have 1-2 secret tech units with faction variations and not like in AOW 3 where some classes have 4 units with faction variations and Warlord has 7. So the amount of work needed with adding new secret tech/factions won't be so bad.

While I agree with the sentiment, I am not sure I understand the bit about only 2 more expansions being planned. Are you referring to the season pass, or was such a limit stated(and how did I miss it?? and woe to us all!!i need moar Planetfall )

 

[Happyworld]

As age of wonders had 2 expansions and the season pass announced 3 for planetfall it is probable that this will be all that will be made. I would love to be proven wrong and see many more expansions. I have been hopeing that triumph studios sells enough copies so as they can continue to have a team working on new planetfall content while a second team makes Age of wonders 4.

 

[Iguanaonastick]

I don't know. Three expansions seems like a lot already. At a certain point there's a diminishing returns thing going. Adding more stuff to a game becomes harder without unbalancing it or detracting from its core strengths.

It's like the stereotype of American television series vs. British ones: the British ones often only have a dozen episodes and you wish there were more. The American ones continue for two seasons after you wish they'd stopped. You want to hit the middle ground between that, and 3 expansions seems like it should be plenty for that.

Now I get wanting more content and variety even after that, but that's why we've got modding tools. AoW got some great ones, and I know for a fact there are good modders waiting until DLC development STOPS before starting to create mods.

The advantage of mods over endless DLCs is that you can pick and choose which you want to use, and even change them from game to game, whereas DLC and patches tend to change the game permanently and retroactively, to the point where playing the original campaigns now is a different experience than when they were released.

I don’t think we have a good Planetfall modding community on PS4...

Or even modding tools in general.

 

[Iguanaonastick]

Eh... I have to admit I honestly did not remember until now that this game even exists on consoles. And that I know nothing about playstations. Yeah, I get that's different from AoW3 for those players then.

Do they have any way to get mods at all? I believe the X-box can get them for some games, but I don't know about planetfall.

 

[DragonZee]

This isn't funny anymore, where's the dlc announcement I could use some more Planetfall stuff right about now...

I’m sure we’re almost there...

 

[Zaskow]

The situation with coronavirus in Netherlands is pretty dire. I think devs are busy with other things...

 

[Ridixo]

Do you realize that the expansion hasn't even yet announced? Yep there is info in the Season Pass, but nothing else. It's still a time for the expansion to come. Also think that the season pass says spring but not in which hemisphere

 

[Tropical Sunset]

DLC will come with a new resource:

TOILET PAPER!
