Going into the new year, we are looking to improve communication with the community exponentially as well as ramp up development to meet our April Deadline for City 17, and we are looking to start this improvement with a monthly development update, along with this forum introducing new features, showcases, images, and other news on the various mechanics you'll see within the city.

With that in mind, we invite everyone in the community to comment in these threads with your feedback on the various things we showcase! Let us know what is good, what is bad, and what needs some work! Any and all feedback is helpful so we can ensure we are going in the right direction, and developing game that not just we want to play, but one you want to play as well!

And, with our basic introduction out of the way, here are some basic guidelines to commenting on posts:

Follow standard server rules

  • Just because this is a different layout, doesn't mean it is exempt from our standard rules or regulations.

Be constructive!

  • We have developers who are encouraged, or discouraged, by the way feedback is received! We all make mistakes and missteps, and being toxic towards our development team is not productive. Let us know there is a problem, but try to avoid bashing developers.

Stay on topic!

  • We will be more strict about staying on topic in these threads than in community chat. Remember, we are looking for focused, constructive feedback!
