Housing release two will not happen till next week

Because I take a break from playing the mean boss once in a while and because we have an insane month or so of releases ahead of us and because this is a rare long weekend and people are going to need to take a few days off, the "R2" feature release will not be happening till next week.

However, it is pretty fucking awesome (and very nearly done). I'll ask everyone else if we can post a teaser image or two of some of the new design combos …

  • I would have had so much R2 playing time this weekend, since I have Good Friday off. But! This is great, because now I'll just have that much more time to gather more resources, level up, earn some currants, all of those other fun things I love to do anyway!

    Have a great Easter weekend off, TS, or if you're still working, enjoy the extra time to finish R2! You're awesome!

  • I'm so excited, thanks for working so hard to make us happy. A clarification though, is it just housing changes or do we get wonderful things like foxes too?

  • @ Bees - Never fear!  Lies or not, most of us know how hard you all are working to finish this.  I can often see that staff are working around the clock and I really do appreciate the work.  Despite that, I do hope you will all take time off to enjoy the holiday weekend and forget all about R2 for a few hours (or for the whole weekend).  Thank You!

  • Awesome!  Thank you for the update lovely Stoot & have a great Easter weekend.  :>

  • I love that the head honcho took the time to tell us that an update with no specific release date won't be here for another week.

    Seriously, Tiny Speck has the most beyond human customer service/appreciation I've ever experienced. So many companies will give a specific release date, miss it, and not say a word. I expect that, to be honest. But, you guys give a six week window and still tell us it's not coming yet when you're only two weeks in! That's awesome and it makes me feel truly valued as a player.

    I don't know how to convey in words how truly impressed I am. I work in customer service and I know how hard it is to give consistently good customer service because as people, a lot of us (myself included!) are annoying, demanding, impatient, don't understand the limitations of a system, and are occasionally just downright dumb or silly. It's easy to let a few bad apples ruin your perspective and distract you from serving the good ones.

    Tiny Speck clearly doesn't let that happen.

    So, to all the staff, thank you so much for what you do and enjoy your Easter weekend! You guys deserve it. :)

  • I want pictures of what is comming! Please, awesome TS staff, tease us with many pics! I'm dying of curiosity that my imagination can't even work anymore! {Happy holiday for you guys by the way, I wish we could have an easter hunt this year though, since I didn't know Glitch last year when that happened.}

  • I agree totally with everything Merrylegs wrote. In fact, I also work in customer service and could have written that third paragraph! I wish I had written it, but doubt that I would have expressed myself nearly as well! Have a great weekend everyone.

  • Could anyone take a moment to remind me what "R2" comprises?  Is it the ability to grow our houses/backyards?
