Where did Petroglyph go?

wedge2211 · 01-24-2007, 10:28 PM

It seems like after the release of the FoC patch, all the Petroglyph guys who used to frequent these forums disappeared. I don't know if I've seen a single post by any of them since the patch. We used to get fairly regular posts from them. Where'd you go, guys? It was nice to have you around.

Yeah I agree but they are maybe busy creating new patch or something..

PoiuyWired · 01-25-2007, 02:12 PM

maybe they are focusing on other games? ... or wishful thinking... new expansion.

Well, to be brutally honest, the forums have been really silent lately. The old SWGB.net forum lasted a lot longer then this, thanks mainly to camaraderie and the Off-Topic part being really alive. Unfortunately, it isn't the case here. So unless there is another expansion coming out or a sequel, don't expect much traffic around here.

Igor_Cavkov · 01-26-2007, 03:26 PM

well we need to start posting a bit more, couse the game is far from dead i mean there are tons of players playing..

Kobliha(cz) · 01-28-2007, 10:57 AM

they arent going to make another expansion ( at least for this moment ) becouse they are making another game " universe at war: earth assault", it is in development since 2005 some screens from czech page ( iam form czech, you know

) http://games.tiscali.cz/clanek/screen.asp?id=11687 if you want i try to translate something

Kobliha(cz) · 01-29-2007, 09:44 AM

Sageking - I noticed in a UAW article that Petro have been working on UAW for about a year now. So taking into account that FoC was released in October last year, does this mean Petro has two teams, or just one team working overtime? I also noted that the article mentioned Petro were streamlining and enhancing the EaW engine.

So, combining these two, what are the chances that there is a Petro team using an enhanced EaW engine to develop 'Clones at War' (or something similar)?

Igor_Cavkov · 01-29-2007, 05:13 PM

cool that your still looking out for ur players Petro!

wedge2211 · 01-29-2007, 05:22 PM

That's great about the map packs...but I'd be eager to hear about another FoC patch, myself.

me to

Darth Anarch · 01-29-2007, 05:56 PM

Yeah, me too. There's been conspicuous silence on the topic. Even in the Petroglyph forums there hasn't been a dev posting in the EaW/FoC forum since Christmas.

BanthaFodder01 · 02-15-2007, 09:14 PM

Universe at War....wow the Petro people are very creative....

Anyways, I hope they fix this game up a lot. There are so many annoying things, including annoying AI and the Consortium pulling money out of their arse. The last path nerfed those arial artillary units...it's horrible. I used them to freeze those canderous tanks but now they are useless as those tanks can just keep firing at them.

Still though, if they add another expansion pack maybe theyll add the Hutts so the ZC and Hutts can fight eachother and not bother the Empire and Rebellion hehe.

With Empire at War, Petro had alot more work to do - which mostly focused around creating the game engine. With those foundations now down, they can tweak and improve it greatly, giving them more time to work on the actual game design etc.

Remember, you can take part in Petro Game days if you check the main page of the site for the time and date, which is around every other friday. I know Petroglyph are extremely keen to build on the success of Empire at War but the final decision is with Lucasarts.

All i can say is, watch this space as we will be first to find out when something is announced
