Can we have small updates a bit more frequent?

[adamkooo2]

I tought 2015 would be the year of trackmania , so leave lagoon where it is and FOCUS on trackmania.

I think a lot of pro players would like to see some updates , bugfixes, for stadium

& valley+ new blocks
>and more sharing this game!

It's not about which game should get updates first. It's about "updates in general and how fast we get them."
I agree that TM deserves updates, but that doesnt mean SM has to wait soooo long.

Maybe there could be some update-system that would be fair & make evverybody happy?
- Work on SM 2months
- Work on TM 3months ( cuz it has more environments )
- Work on SM 2months
- Work on TM 3months

So both games can grow & everybody would know what to expect and can be happy.

Good idea!

Make SM Cryo & TM Lagoon then make bugfixes
I do it that.
For understand: I make a title, and then I make fixes for that, because users reported glitches, bugs or errors.

And i'll repeat again, if Nadeo need real person to speak about community demand, i live about 20 minutes of Nadeo's office.

I think shootmania is dead. This game have a real badly reputation. Only a another Shootmania can change something. TM have already 3 environnement, and a 4's coming (announced at ESWC, discretely ^^).

Nadeo has "we wont do, community will do better" politics. With that I see "wanna update? Do it yourself!"


One spoiler I and my friends get is something about official grenades that are behaving as normal (not action) weapon.

And Law discussed about gravity and get response for "three gravity levels" in script.

Thats all I know.

Nadeo as developers should provide us frequent updates with little fixes, among with some spoils for upcoming stuff. Like 99% other devs.

So why Battle pro, a community mode were 92% of community vote for, wasn't choose by Nadeo for GA ? Mysteryyyyy.

"We won't do, community will do better" doesn't mean "Let the community dev the game*" this is why there is no unnoficial nadeo titles in GA, imo.

*If it would mean this, there would be already 3 shootmania games and 5 new tm enviros

I'm fed up reading this naive way of thinking over and over again. The last thing Maniaplanet needs are additional environments for any of the games. Nadeo should be focussing on providing a working and stable Maniaplanet first by fixing the countless bugs spread all over the place. It makes absolutely no sense releasing additional environments such as Lagoon or Cryo when the already existing environments are suffering from bugs, lack of depth gameplay-wise and a low playerbase. At this point of time I think releasing Valley was way too early as it feels rushed as a whole and barely gets any attention from Nadeo since it's release. I don't remember Valley receiving a noticable update ever. I bet the same would happen to any new environment.
Having set periods of time where you are working on specific things (as Dreammy suggested) would only lead in more stress and pressure for all of the devs. It's not about extending the environments only. If Maniaplanet as a whole does not work properly and feels unaccessible for new players, then it has no use adding cool and fancy new stuff to the existing environments.

Ye. Instead there are Siege and Battle with 2 registered teams so far. gg wp?

Well ur text made me confused
You want bug fixes & no new environements and thats exactly what I said?

And I talked about TM and SM, because I understand that the other enviroments want updates too.


So : I agree with what you said because I said the same?

The "set periods of time" might result in some pressure. But it was more an "idea/suggestion" and they should just release updates when they are ready. I dont care if it would be delayed and become 3months for SM and 4months for TM. As long as they communicate with us.
I just wanted to make everyone happy so each envi would get multiple updates each year
