Ok, so everybody has heard the call for suggestions, and many creative ideas have continued to be posted on the boards. However, the trend is clear, and many are fantastical, and focussed mainly on the long term possibilities of VO. To balance this I would like to start a thread of small, quickly achievable improvements that members of the community would like to see implemented quite soon, or even by the next update. These may be small improvements, that while not impacting on gameplay, help to give the game more polish. Or they may be game-issues that are quite subjective but cannot be labelled as 'bugs' (ie. chat type hard to read). I know a number of these threads do pop up now and then, but I feel this process of community feedback needs to be streamlined, and I would ultimately like it given its own page on the website. This page would include a list of objectives, and projects currently in development, and most importantly place them within a timeframe. One example exists in the community developed game of Realm Wars. http://www.garagegames.com/mg/projects/realmwars/
I believe this is crucial to give the community a greater sense of involvement in the project, one of VO's attractions is the ability to watch it grow and develop alongside you, and I am sure a project management page has been mentioned many times before. Until then, post your achievable suggestions here! I would like to initially suggest a timeframe of one month. But im sure the dev's are busy as is ;), so two months will be fine. Ok fire away! Finally, props to the developers for an outstanding effort, with what looks to be a great project, but im sure they already know that...
