Just looking at the number of players in WEE, I wonder how many of them would actually be able to comprehend and use SDK to create new scenarios or campaigns. Same for map editor. I'm sure there are some people who could use SDK but is it worth the effort by EUGEN to offer it?


Might depend quite a bit on the editor - is it easy to use, how good the UI is, how powerful it is, ie. can you make good maps easily.

But you might be surprised. I've seen a good number of small titles get good modding/map making attention. Eg. Homeworld 2, WiC, Battlezone. Heck, I did quite a bit myself :) We have a good quality community here, plus it's a niche game that probably don't get much more content from the developer, so the motivation for something from the community is there.

The map editor won’t be released with the game. We are now working on simple tools to use. The players will build maps on any CAO software. Or goal is to offer a powerful tool to the community.



So the promise part is that this information was given before the release, and some players bought the game with the expectation that we would get mod/map tools. Still it's a roadmap that could have changed if conditions changed.

But I bet what they are working on. It is called Wargame Premium and it will cost 49€. For that you will get new units like flamethrower Tunguska and Abrams with mlrs on it, access to exclusive content like awesomely shaped black cursor that will cause earthquakes wherever you click on the map and when you will loose to a premium player it will say: "You lost to a premium player you cheap ass monkey" in big golden flashing letter all over your screen. Sound familiar? :lol:


No?

Even worse, the each time a tank fired it'd spam "THAT WAS CLAN GOLD!" in chat!

Middle east is dangerous due to the PR issues.


This wheel is already invented - done by various companies in:

Also multiple mods for Steel Beasts, BF2 etc.
and by Avalon Hill, SSI etc. back in the day

Yes, those games are not what you would call best sellers are they? At best niche games I would say.

Mods dont count.

I see, yes that could indeed happen.



I think Eugene could be like "damn that, we're French; we dont care what other people think"
