Just saw a new video update.
Two things struck me more than the rest. Apparently they are going to do less updates now in favour of better quality updates at more important moments. Also Peter is nervous and excited about taking Godus from 49.5% to over 50% complete. That made me laugh. Oh and also apparently Sam had to much to do in his life to be able to function properly as a community manager but the new community managers should be able to do a much better job. So I guess they don't have a life or something.

What struck me is that the community team lead is making designers make plans ahead, I would imagine some sort of Project/Product Manger doing that. If the designers were running the show so far no wonder it's still shit.

Apparently they are going to do less updates now in favour of better quality updates at more important moments. It's a bit of a time overhead for us to be churning out videos for every update. I'd much rather get to the stage over the coming month (possibly two) where I'm updating the blog at least twice a week, getting a couple of posts up on FB a day, Tweeting what we're doing on more or less a moment-by-moment basis and also spending more time in the forums. Videos should then be saved for larger events, like when we have a significant content update (e.g. a new Age or Hubworld). This way, I can update you all more frequently than up till now. Equally, if we do updates as words-and-pictures, there's less time commitment from you to digest our info and also you can share it amongst yourselves more easily, as bullet points are a more immediate way of sharing info than a 5 minute video. TL;DR: Fewer videos means more frequent, concentrated updates. |

That sounds great to me. We've been asking for stuff like this for a long time.
