Happy New Year!

from JoeUser Forums

Greetings!

On behalf of the team at Stardock, Happy New Year!

2011 is going to be an amazing year for Elemental fans! Kael and his team have some exciting things in the works.  We have v1.11 that will almost certainly go out in the next couple of weeks as well as work on both v1.2 and the first expansion pack.

You’ll be happy to know that sales of Elemental have continued to grow.  Of course, December was Christmas season but it marks the third consecutive month of increased sales for the game which bodes well.

Our goal for 2011 is to make Elemental the definitive fantasy strategy game of this age.  A game that fans of Master of Magic, Age of Wonders, HOMM, DOM3, and other great games will be proud to add to their family of classic games. 

Thanks to community involvement, feedback, and frankly, Stardock’s independence as a studio (i.e. as both developer and publisher it can set the game’s course without interference), we have a fantastic list of things to add, change, improve, and expand in the Elemental universe. 

Moreover, thanks to the growing modding community, we’ve already gotten a taste of some of the great ways we can make each faction more distinct, interesting and exciting along with the game world itself.  In the coming months, the evolution of Elemental will continue.

The team returns on Monday, January 3rd and we’ll have some new announcements right off the bat that we think you will be very happy about.

A couple of gamers who have the retail version of Elemental cannot update their game via Impulse.

Can anyone help them out?

Good news! 

After putting down the game for a while, I've fired it up again to try out v1.1, and I've found it to be far more *fun* than it used-to be.  Definitely diggin' it.  This game has changed alot since beta, and I really like the direction its taking.  Happy new year, and keep it up!

I must say 1.1 had me bored until I tried the tweaked exe with the improved AI and added resources. For the first time I'm actually getting into the game and being forced to think.

Woots! Lets keep those sales coming in. The more fun a game gets=the more people blab about it=more cashola=more devlopment=more fun... ETC!

That's great that Elemental sales grew for 3 months.  But realistically, I think January will be the first month that run ends and sales will drop (unless something major is in that news).   I haven't bought it yet, though, so I can honestly say there is at least 1 more sale yet to be made.

Happy new Year.

"A game that fans of Master of Magic, Age of Wonders, HOMM, DOM3, and other great games will be proud to add to their family of classic games" should be a pre-release goal not a post-release goal.

I know that "2. Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state." is no longer in the gamer's bill of rights.

But, please, do not release software that you yourself consider fans are not yet proud to add to their collection.
