Greetings! I'm B Cotton one of the developers here on SOTA and I will be active in the forum helping integrate your ideas into the development process. Please keep posting your suggestions and comments. I can guarantee that your ideas will be heard by the development team! All of us are really excited to have your support and look forward to journey ahead through Kickstarter and beyond!
Hi! Glad to see that ideas and comments will at least be evaluated. Looking forward to ask and trying to be overall constructive.
Welcome B! You had better B careful with your forum Avatar... That is symbol for the Virtue Honesty, and we'll be holding you to it
Thanks everyone! As far as areas of the game that I'm responsible, I'll be involved in most every aspect of the game from a design and feedback perspective. I have a dozen years of professional experience in systems design. I'll move around working on different aspects of the game based on our development plan. For our Kickstarter videos I did most of the design implementation work for the Overworld. That was a lot of fun. Our Overworld tech we've developed is really exciting. My short term focus is developing a plan for design and implementation of the crafting system. I'll also be pulling other feature ideas and feedback for other systems from the forum and presenting them in design sessions.
Welcome to "our" forums, B! And AvatarAcid has it right. Nice to see you around and also nice to see that our suggestions and comments are being taken into consideration. Interestingly, my husband who is a business analyst/insurance broker does not get the concept of spending money on something you don't get anything physical back. He said "do you get shares?" I laughed and said "no but I get to be a beta tester!" He is baffled by it as most non-gamers are. Great game concept, will be an awesome adventure for everyone and can't wait to hear more from you and the team!
