Question about Retail Commanders.

I read that already one time. How company's interact with eachother, sometimes its better not to know.

Completely agree, it really shows all the hard work Uber has gone through to get where it is today.

No it doesn't. It shows the level of support they have needed and how much they have had to rely on other people and the poor execution of money budgeting. At least, thats how I saw it when I read it.

Lest not forget, if a company goes bankrupt or comes close to doing so, they only have themselves to blame..

but, but, look at the head!!!

What about it?



Look at the shape of the whole thing XD

I think it looks like a combination of the both. Either way, its badass and I want one

Cobra commander for Cosmic Limited owners? Pretty please?

Most start ups fail when trying to produce a game or anything for that manner. I'm just impressed that they juggled the company safely away from bankruptcy in their first foray into starting a new company.

No one is an expert in starting a company, takes serious vigilance to make sure it doesn't fall apart.

The shape matches that of a droideka, but that's just so that it can fit to the quad comm's skeleton. the back, head, arms and legs of the comm look way more like the necron tomb stalker...

I feel the same, I love the game but I'm getting worse feelings every day. There is a lot of focus on the 'new players' and the 'old backers' are being forgotten.

I am not going to pay for the new commanders.

Backers got their commanders and retail buyers get there's, there's really nothing wrong with that. :l

Perhaps. But let's not blame programmers and designers for not having money and budgeting skills. It is not supposed to be their field of expertise, after all.

In fact, I'm very glad that they managed to put together what it took in order to reach this point of development of PA. Damn is a good game already

ps. Also, Microsoft is evil!!

I just want to clarify a small point that was brought up earlier.

It was said that PA wasn't "big enough" to attract publishers until recently when Nordic stepped in.

My understanding of the situation is different, I was under the impression that Nordic is being contracted by Uber to handle primarily the physical retail aspects of PA's release, not as a full on publisher.

Initially Uber had said there wouldn't be a physical retail release at all and thanks to continuing Pre-Orders and Steam Early Access they were able to expand into doing a Retail release and contracting Nordic to do it makes a lot of sense because Uber hadn't done anything for physical retail yet so having someone else with lots of experience take care of it for them frees them up to focus of PA's development.

Just a small things, bu I just wanted to make sure people didn't get the wrong impression, PA is still 100% "indie" and mostly Crowdfunded(Uber has self funded as well) and there hasn't been any kind of "publisher meddling" as far as we know because there simply isn't a publisher.

I think the main 5 words of your statement there would be "as far as we know"
In other words, I doubt hardly anyone that doesn't work for Uber knows their financial situation...

Well it's not like I just made it all up, this is all based on talks with the Devs, this particular topic was one I discussed on the forums when the initial Nordic involvement happened. Sure we don't know exactly everything that's going on but basically assuming we are being lied to isn't exactly great either. ;p

Mike

This is just a private convo between the Vanguards and the Uber devs huh? Why is this the first we are hearing about it??

Uuhhhh...

It wasn't a private discussion at all.

Mike

Uhhhhhhhh yourself...

Brad, I'm not going to pretend here. I purchased into Alpha, spent the money for both me and my friends on the idea that only digital versions of the games are available. If I had known there was going to be a Collectors Additions and that spending £140 for me and my friend would have my friend losing out on the commander he liked the look of the most, I wouldn't have felt betrayed, but honestly I currently do feel like I've been dealt a really low blow.

Not cool, not cool at all.

No. It was a public forum thread. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/nordic-games-and-pa.54689/
