Tiny Spec Staff: How about an update on Street Projects?
Just in general, how long are we looking at until the next street project? Weeks, months? What kind of frequency can we expect to see them in your long term vision?
I still have an open help case from one of the last projects. Not that I care about it anymore, but I didn't get any xp or ts script from my contribution to the project.
Maybe there are some bugs to iron out? I'm not working on any street projects again so I don't care.
Treesa, was the project in the ancestral lands? I'm pretty sure those projects didn't have the usual rewards associated with them. I mean, if it was a Kallopee street or something, just ignore me. =)
It feels like one of those when will it open threads from back in beta... but I'm still all for hearing an answer :D! So, staffies, is it a later this month? Later this year? Wait till next year? What's the time frame?
no it was around callopee when that region was being built. I spent hours talking to staff about it on help and finally filed a bug report which has been since ignored.
I'd really just rather forget about it. Just mentioning it here because it may be that there are bugs to iron out before they start new projects.
As for the speculation, I think I read somewhere that they don't do deadlines but that group halls were a priority. Maybe group halls will come out before new streets?
If you want something to do you can collect cubimals or fight the rook. Join the rook alerts group. I went through two separate attacks in andra yesterday.
We could really use a staff update about what's going to happen with new streets. Building Callopee and Pollokoo was the most fun thing I've done in the game. I'm really disappointed that there haven't been any more projects. Have there even been street projects since Callopee?
Nope, not one. We're all patiently awaiting more. Considering info that Stoot gave during an interview the problem seems to be the process not the content.
He said there are five new areas ready for consumption. Unfortunately, the devs have also said they want to totally overhaul the street building process, citing the fact that the old ones were one dimensional. Which is fair.
I think the point here isn't that they give a schedule or lock into specifics, but given that Street projects are/were such a big part of the game, the radio silence is frustrating. A TS blog article perhaps?
Since reset I find myself already getting bored. Yes I know there's plenty to do but I play the game with what interests me most and street projects were always what tamed my boredom in beta. Not having them now, it just doesn't seem like the same game anymore. A little tip from staff couldn't hurt. At least we have something to aim for. Thanks.
I think there were street projects going on when I first signed up, but being a newbie, I wasn't able to participate. Now that I'm a bit more experienced, I'm anxiously awaiting the return of the street projects so I can see what they are all about.
No doubt street projects will start tomorrow because today I finally sold /donated all the planks, paper, dirt, etc. that I had been hoarding for street projects. LOL
Sadly, patience runs out. I remember the days when "soon" was a vague, yet specific enough reponse. Now, we don't even get that. The silence is deafening, and it makes me sad...more than kinda.
I hereby again officially *bump* this post, a mere (sarcasm) 5 days from its origination, in hopes of an adequate response.
I'm really hoping that the answer dovetails nicely into a conversation about group locations, which to me is more compelling than street projects (yet, hopefully, related).
I know players who have stopped playing for now while waiting for more street building project, and would love to have them back, so I'd love an answer from staff on this thread too!
I remember beta.... I always attended street projects at the time. I always did the stuff like mining and meditating for the street projects. But I never donated anything. Because I didn't know how to make it. But know I do. I'm a master at cooking and petting animals and trees. I'm better now. But the thing is, there isn't that much street projects.
yeah... i hate to say that i was talking to a few other alpha-type-glitches just yesterday, and saying that last weekend was the first time in almost two years (!) when i felt truly bored with the game, and that part of the reason why feels like we are getting much less info from staff about what is coming up than ever before, so it's hard to keep my whistle wet. i find myself finding patterns in the smaller releases, like "hmm, i bet keys are a mechanism for group halls! awesome!"
so yeah - a blog post would be great, even if it is not once a week like was promised in that blog three weeks ago, or a bit of a forum post would be nice too. :)
