-LOCKED - Jaglions Delay | |
Posted on 2024-06-20 04:04:39
Hi everyone, We've come with some unfortunate news: Jaglions are going to be delayed a little longer, hopefully no longer than a week. A few weeks ago we were certain we would hit the internal deadline we set ourselves, so we released the ship teaser encounters intending to give a little hint about the arrival of Jaguars to the lands of Lioden. Unfortunately since then things kind of.. imploded. We've had a couple of artist and coder illnesses, a few personal situations on top of that, and it just threw any schedule we had out of the window. We are regrouping, have involved more artists to the process to catch up with the work needed, and we're hoping to launch the story on Friday 28th June. We're really sorry about this, but we want to be clear to our staff if nobody else: this was nobody's fault, it was a series of unfortunate events that caused the collapse of (what seemed like) concrete plans. Moving forward, we have learned from this (and multiple instances in the past) and we will no longer be teasing anything that isn't already complete and in our hands, ready to go. Thank you for your patience with us, and as a present, have a preview of the Adult Female Jaglion with a Clear White base and the new Jaglion exclusive Phantom Rosette marking. 871 players like this post!

Cricket ♟ Clean Soul (#156346) :: I definitely agree. But while I originally was staunchly opposed to adding jaglions, at this juncture I think they're badly needed to help revitalize the market. So hopefully we'll see those updates after the jaglion launch. 0 players like this post! Like? |

First off, thanks for the clear communication with this setback. This is exactly the open communication I have been begging and pleading you guys for. Delays happen, but they should be shared with the community instead of brushing things under the rug like things have been done in the past (like how you guys scrapped the BO base pack without a word and we only found out because I asked on the December 2023 developmental update and got an admin response saying the BO base pack had been scrapped/delayed due to "negative feedback" and the whole BO community blew up due to this lack of communication). Delays do happen, like I said, and making news posts like this is what you guys should be doing when delays occur. So thank you for the better communication. With that being said, you guys have been delaying countless projects since I joined this website 9.5 years ago. Sure, this project specifically was delayed due to the artists being sick, but the same can't be said about every project that has been delayed (that I've seen) in my almost 10 years of playing Lioden. You guys are notorious for not having projects completed by said date and then you guys end up pushing them back for months, or in the case of certain things such as the spirited pose, for literal years. While we're on the subject of "making sure things are ready to go," and since I've seen multiple people complaining about it on this news post specifically and just in general as well, the mentality of "making sure things are ready to go" should be applied to everything, including new bases, markings, etc. It usually takes you guys 2-3 months to completely upload all of the necessary files when new bases and markings are added to the game, which is extremely disappointing to the whole community. Last year when the incense base came out, I had a brand-new king with that base, but he appeared translucent for 2-3 months due to being an adolescent posed felis male with the new base since the proper files weren't implemented into the game yet. That's really frustrating and discouraging; I almost wanted to change his base so he wouldn't appear translucent, but I desperately needed the incense base for my project at the time, so I was stuck having a translucent king for months. I'm not trying to be rude, but I have a burning passion for this game I am desperate to see it improve. Admin Response: We’re still learning, even after 10 years. I know that’s not a good enough answer for a lot of people, but it’s true. I can only speak for myself (Abbey) but neurodivergence also makes it easy to drop the ball on things like this, so I can only ask for your patience and understanding when tackling these things. As for missing files for markings, etc - there is a very big difference in thinking something is completed but missing a handful of files (out of thousands) and still actively working on a project but being delayed. In the case of markings and bases that are released, these are all projects that we *think* are done, but it’s only when we release it that members find the cracks in the concrete, so to speak. When I get a chance, I can try to set up a better tool for our artists to be able to detect these before release. 12 players like this post! Like? |
