Reply to Iterating further on Elemental in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I like how the name "Elemental" sounds, but frankly, there isn't that much of a focus on the various elements (Fire, Air, etc.) except for a bit on the shard/magic side of things. For a game with elements in the title, they should play a much more prominent role. I've never seen this as a major component of the game, though, so I'd ditch that descriptor. Similarly, do we really need Ceresa to be the focus by keeping the terms "Fallen Enchantress"? It seems too specific abo

When additional units are summoned, do they also provide XP when defeated when the battle is over?

Larger inventory icons and quantities on the main page Higher contrast on tactical map outlines for squares to visit Consistent use of the Escape key for quitting out of menu options The end of modal dialog boxes, like town upgrades that don't provide you with enough detail but force you to make a decision. Something like Endless Space's notification system that allows you to see the option and go in or out of it is very handy. Eas

Here's for hoping for a fix in 1.3! (sweet that 1.2 is released, though)

If this is broken, would be good to get it fixed for 1.2 while it's still in beta.

Brad, you guys need to create a game where you're a game development studio. You'd have to allocate resources to different areas (marketing, developers, etc.), design the game, communicate to forum users, etc. Would remind me of the DLC Quest game on Steam. It seems to me that creating and supporting a game is just like playing one- you have limited resources and need to find the best way to optimize them.

I like the diplomatic pressure having caravans create, but in practice seeing the caravans and having them work properly isn't fun/functional. They could be removed and have the bonuses still apply or continue to be improved. Right now, it's kind of in an 80% working state that causes issues with the AI/pathfinding/bugs.

Reply to The connection between a strong middle class and a healthy economy in Business Elemental Forums

The tension is businesses making money but also contributing back to society through fair wages, social responsibility and levering their influence to help. Too little profit, and the business tanks. Too little contribution to society, and the gap between the wealthy and society keeps widening. Both non-profit groups and the government can help to bridge the gap, but only so far.

I think the above reviews are very fair, though I'm also disappointed that one negative review on metracritic drags the overall down so much. Hopefully some of the others above will be included soon. I'd be interested in reading Gamespot's take on the game, too, since they're such a bit review site.
