Dear Developers,
I am writing this on behalf of the GMT and TU community.
When the project started, both the community and you, the developers, had high hopes and
dreams for the new game. Promises of rides, a full boardwalk, and customization beyond relief left most of us in awe. But that was the past. Looking at the Trello and progress made, we think a lot of the vision was lost. Yes, this game has been out for about three days, but we are looking into the future of the game as well. GMT was a community, a close community. We think we first lost sight of the community aspect when games were added to the main menu, meaning players no longer had to visit the plaza. Mac mentioned it was done that way because certain players did not want to have to be a part of the plaza, but was that not the point of the game? A lot of us old players are wondering âWhat happened?â. We wanted âXâ to be complete, but instead, we were given âXâ âYâ and âZâ. Good, right? Well, it would be, if XYZ were not severely broken.
We donât believe certain features are being prioritized or implemented properly. Condos are not currently a social gathering place, but an isolated island (literally and metaphorically). The Plaza is currently a strip mall center. Games and features we so desired to be implemented, are planned to be worked on after items only few people want, and current features we donât believe were implemented properly.
What we ask: We want, and plead, that polls be opened for the community to vote on. We ask that the polls ask users what THEY want implemented into the game. Certain features and items we wanted are not a priority and are being ignored. We hope that the polls show you, the developers, what we think should be added first. Not only added, but what should be fixed and change. We also hope that PixelTail had a community representative. No, not a community manager. A player or member who speaks and listens on behalf of the community. Their vision represents the communities, and would help the gameâs development.
To conclude, this thread was not a complaint letter. It is well known that the game is early access, but we are worried about the future of the game. No one said you, the developers, are slacking off. The amount of work you have done in such a small time is amazing. We simply request that you take the community more into account while furthering your work on the game. Thank You.
