About the making of dominions 2

[O CoRVo]

Well hi, this is my second post on the forum and i will say it again, my english sucks so please spare me from your hatred toward incorrect grammar


How long (months) is dominions 2 for sale? There was a public beta test? Is there any hope of the producers made a "making of" with details about problems like balance, the most difficult thing to implement, how long took to find a good publisher and in the end say what they think they did right and things that they should have avoided (something like the post mortem in the gamespy diaries)?

I am really curious about the production of this game

Thats a good question.

The developers have jobs, and families. We have enough trouble trying to get them to write the things we want like patches and documentation and tutorials. I think a story of how they got here would not happen until they are rich and retired. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But if you are interested, much of the early conversation about making Dom2 happened in the comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic newsgroup. Using Groups.google.com and searching for Illwinter might give you what you want.
