NGD: Compliments of the season.

[bois]

Hi NGD,

I just wanted to make this thread because frankly quite often this forum is filled with some vitriol and negativity towards the company.
Despite me offering my honest opinion which may be unflattering to NGD at times, I want to sincerely thank the staff for their continuing efforts towards this game.
I guess it has been a rough year which much highs and lows but I generally enjoyed my experience here for the most part. Sure the game has bugs, issues and such but still promises something for an indie game. I think this is why some of us longer term players vent frustrations. We grew with the game, seen its iterations and how much it promised yet falls a bit short of the high expectations. I am sure NGD fees the same way too. But, be proud. The game is still a good one. Don't let tiredness and frustration lead to emotional retorts. Just know that the game is a good effort and that you guys did quite well this year. Concentrate on that and push forward.
You took some risks, most payed off some flopped. At least you had the guts to try something despite the consequences. I respect that. Failure is only a hop on the road to success.
Of course expectation still ride high and as such you can expect more corrosive posts from time to time. Par for the course.
All in all I think you guys made a big effort to change and reconfigure spells, tried to tidy up the net code, improve visuals, and tried to make some money while doing it. You even made efforts to improve communication.
I end here by saying best of luck in the new year with your projects and I hope and wish all of the staff members and their families a most joyous and healthy Christmas and New Year.

Best regards
Artec
