Re: Announcing Supreme Ruler The Great War
@George and Chris
if SRU has reached "completion" what about releasing it on a non steam platform (such as GoG) as was discussed before?

In this respect I`m just not sure if I should celebrate this latest project or not, but I do wish you good fortune with it!

Re: Announcing Supreme Ruler The Great War
Worth considering, but the launch of SRGW won't specifically end SRU development. Ideally they both benefit from ongoing support.

Thank you for your response!Balthagor wrote:Worth considering, but the launch of SRGW won't specifically end SRU development. Ideally they both benefit from ongoing support.
As I see it, if the game is successful and keeps on being developed I won`t see a non-steam version because allegedly it is easier to update the game on steam while in development so that will be deferred to the end of development. On the other hand if there`s no more development of the game I wonder if any of you would still be interested in releasing a non-steam version or indeed if anyone would still be around to even consider it. It`s a catch-22 I guess.
Btw, I know that throughout development there was talk about releasing a map editor or at least making regions moddable (in the sense of adding a new region and new loyalty). Is this something that might happen? There`s one political entity whose lack on SR`s modern map makes playing in that region fictitious. I`m referring to Transnistria. As it was in SR2020, part of Moldova, loyal to Moldova, with no Russian troops in it, it made for an eerie gameplay. It`s not just another frozen conflict around the Black Sea (the rest I think are represented in your latest game version), it is in many ways a Kaliningrad of the region. Other factions should not be able to just go about that zone without any repercussions in their relations with Russia, to put it euphemistically. I`ve raised it before, but it was marked as low priority. As such, would it be possible to implement something like this via modding in the future?

Re: Announcing Supreme Ruler The Great War
I often advocate for the mapeditor getting the required dev resources so that we could release. I will continue to do so.

It being polished enough for the end user also benefits you guys in house since it would be that much easier to create and edit scenarios. That being said i'm not holding my breath on it being released any time soon.Balthagor wrote:I often advocate for the mapeditor getting the required dev resources so that we could release.

It also would be great if player was allowed to customize in game menus - pallets and stats.

This is far outside of the scope of the project or of the development resources available at this time.georgios wrote:It also would be great if player was allowed to customize in game menus - pallets and stats.

fortunately some of them seem to be moddable.

I'll try and get another dev blog posted for next week. Railroads across the world are done! (and a few roads, but very very few).

Re: Announcing Supreme Ruler The Great War
I agree a map editor would be a good thing for the modding community and any potential sandboxes/campaigns/scenarios that people might make would increase the longevity of the game.
Even if it is not perfect or very user-friendly it would very likely still be quite a bit more efficient for the people than doing things in a text editor
