Paradox lover sterk støtte til Stellaris

Paradox Development Studio vil fortsette å satse tungt på deres populære strategispill, Stellaris. På Paradox-forumet skriver game director Henrik Fåhraeus at de lover å "keep improving the game for everyone, almost like an MMO", og det skal de gjøre så lenge "enough players keep buying paid content for the game".

Det er så klart forståelig, og Fåhraeus fortsetter med å fortelle om planene for fremtiden:

"For those of you who are unfamiliar with our post-release policies, we will release a lot of expansions over the coming years. Each expansion will be accompanied by a major update containing a whole bunch of completely free upgrades and improvements to the game in addition to regular bug fixes."

Den første oppdateringen heter Clarke (version 1.1) og slippes i slutten av mai. Her er hva du kan forvente av den:

"CLARKE" HIGHLIGHTS
• Fixes to the Ethic Divergence and Convergence issues. Currently, Pops tend to get more and more neutral (they lose Ethics, but rarely gain new ones.)
• The End of Combat Summary. This screen looks bad and also doesn't tell you what you need to know in order to revise your ship designs, etc.
• Sector Management GUI: There are many issues with this, and we will try to get most of them fixed.
• Diplomacy GUI issues. This includes the Diplomatic Pop-Ups when other empires contact you, but also more and better looking Notifications, and more informative tooltips on wars, etc.
• AI improvements: Notably the Sector AI, but also plenty of other things. This kind of work is never "finished"...
• Myriads of bug fixes and smaller GUI improvements.
• Late game crises bugs. There were some nasty bugs in there, blocking certain subplots and various surprising developments.
• EDIT: Remaining Performance Issues. We know about them; they might even be hotfixed before Clarke.
• EDIT: Corvettes are too good.

Clarke er det første skrittet mot noe som kalles "colony events" som skal være "the bread and butter of the mid-game for the Science Ships". Kort fortalt er denne patchen feilrettinger som kreves før de neste oppdateringene.
