Is community inactive lately? - Alex Ros - 01-30-2014
Perhaps I am goin' crazy, but from my point of view the community have been quite inactive lately. What happened or happening? Everybody's waiting for Update of ATDD to be able to create mods with AMFP smoothly? Or what? Just curious.
We, you, me got a whole year until SOMA will be ready for release. I suppose as always SOMA will be released at least at the end of 2015. So there is a lot of time on creating good mods on HPL2 platform.

I know a bunch of us are doing other things.
But yeah, I've noticed this lately aswell, it happens from time to time!

I'm mostly running through the off-topic forum with some other users.
I'm not really into Amnesia right at the moment. I'm editting in Portal 2.

What you said Alex..
I feel precisely the same as you!
I think there are more people interested in indie games atm..
AND the problem is there are very less story's out...
no story means less interest in the game..
Unfortunatly!

Amnesia is an indie game, just uh.. Pointing that out.
RE: Is community inactive lately? - Alex Ros - 01-30-2014
Well for quite a long time I was a part of rather big STALKER game community. And yeah there was strange gaps of inactivity for 1 or 2 months. But in general it was a very lively community. Until it was announced there will be no more STALKER, no sequel, all developers are fired, etc. That was turning point when community begun to slowly die. And I understand that. It's not interesting to stick to community when you know for sure that engine would never be updated, no new sequels, prequels, whatever.
But here we see totally different situation. SOMA is announced, HPL3 is announced, everything is as cool as might be. And this 1 or 2 years before SOMA is released is just a great chance to show to Frictional what community is interested in. I think that's very important. I do not know but I suppose and hope that most popular mods which would come out in the 2014 might in fact influence on SOMA, on Frictional guys. So... ehh... too many words as always )))

Useless comment Traggey....

A lot of us have made big steps in our life which leaves no time for amnesia modding. For example I was not too long ago hired by a small game studio which leaves me no time at all for developing amnesia mods.
So I guess people have moved on but a lot will probably come back now and then, at least I do
