    Garat,

    I was wondering if it would be a nice idear to make some screenshots from the new UI and post it for the backers only?

    Or some of the new units, like you used to do on this part of the forum?

    I'm really curious about it, and would love to see some.

    Thanks in advance

    I too would enjoy a sneak-shot, but I understand if you don't because it's not that good yet or you just want to surprise us. :)

    Here's the thing, they aren't liable to show something until they feel it's ready to show......which is the same as being ready to send out in an update more or less. Its tough in that regard.

    It comes when it comes.
    I just hope we are given the chance to dialogue about the UI before release :)

    I'm seeing several forum posters say that something shouldn't be discussed, argued or suggested, simply because it's likely to change.

    Yet I can't help but feel that, no matter what happens, problems that might have been identified if they could have been discussed, and many creative ideas and solutions that could have been iterated on in the meantime, will have been forgotten due to this suppressive mantra of "don't think about it, everything will get better!"

    I'd like to think that more information about what is actually coming might temper those expectations and, in turn, promote more interesting discussions. But who's to know?

    That is an interesting thought...

    It is good to discussing ideas to explore the options, but Uber also doesn't need to release every little thing. If they did it would be very easy for leaks to happen and people would whine about the imperfections of the early concepts. I think Uber does a good job of walking the line between saying too much and too little.

    I understand what you mean, and my feeling is the same, they walk a pretty good line between releasing too little or too much. I know this is there first kickstarter project and kickstarter altogether is a new way of developing, and interacting with allot of your fanbase very early in development has it up and downsides, and they will learn allot from this, where the painpoints were and how to anticipate it next time around ^^

    To be honest i wasn't making this post to stur up the crowd and create a 20 pager ragefest to release information, not again atleast :p just a gentle poke, because personally i miss the days where a post showed up with new screenshots, it just got me exited allot back then. And i hope it didn't sound like i was trying to create a shitstorm, i'm just being abit nostalgic here ^^

    Now the big question still remains, will Uber sneak something in?

    (They have "sneak released" the quad commander and sort of pre-released the game files of the tank commander so we sort of already got our wish ;))
