Rolandtigerfish Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Not sure where else to put this. It would be nice if Hinderland would put up polls for the suggestions they are taking seriously. I know making a game takes a lot of time. But it would be nice to see occasional polls for current suggestions under consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarrowStone Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The closest we have to this is the developement roadmap (,http://hinterlandgames.com/the-long-dark/roadmap/), and surveys that are issued after a major update to see if we like it. The roadmap is pretty outdated at the moment though. Excuse me for speaking for them, I may be wrong, but from what I know: Hinterlands doesnt like promising things they arent sure will be implemented and they dont like spoiling surprises for their fans so I dont think we'll see any polls that occur before something is developed. However, we may (hopefully) see an update to that roadmap, Again, i may be wrong, and am just a community member sharing my observations, I dont speak on behalf the team directly. I hope this helped?

Rolandtigerfish Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Cool. I understand they don't want to bite off more than they can chew. I'd just like to see a little more updates in the forum a little hey we're looking at this right now what do you think... With the holiday hill on them I understand it will be another month or so before anyone from dev team becomes active in forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm under the assumption that they might be considering this subject that I've made a poll for the community to show what they think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 We've had a number of polls in the past. I did most of them. I don't know why you guys don't make more polls. They are a very good way to gather player feedback on the popularity of features and Hinterland has been very responsive to user requests. Just because there is a poll, is no guarantee of implementation of a desired feature. It is better to ask for a lot than not to ask at all and have a lesser game that looses out appeal when other (more costly) games come around. Hinterland is breaking new territory with The Long Dark! To find polls merely do a search for [Poll] with the search capability of the forum. I think I have about a dozen including one for the items on the current road map.

It stands for my last name but I like the idea of polls. Part of good quality assurance is to gather customer feedback and polls are ideal for this, if well designed. People tend to like to be included on a poll with their inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
