Do you need help?

@Lord Thane @TheKeeper I know personally I am writing a lot of suggestions, bugs, ect. I read most forums and I see many others are making loads of suggestions and bugs also. I can't imagine what this looks like from your end of things. Have you considered adding help? I'm thinking forum moderators who could reduce your time commitment to the forums by consolidating suggestions, curating them and really anything else you saw fit to maximize your time. Basically sift through the rabble and find the meat of the forums for you. I have other ideas for the role as well but don't think it would be productive to share them in this post.

Feel free to delete this post, not trying to overstep. Just something I thought of today when I put myself in your shoes.

Thanks for everything you're doing for the game!

Maybe TheKeeper could use a squire. I'm pretty good tho.

I think right now the biggest hurdle is #1 finding legit bugs (a lot of times it's just user error that eats up dev time testing nothingburgers), and #2 finding time to dev. It's a passion project, so it doesn't have anything near dedicated developer hours, so things get hit as time permits.

You can see on the changelog there's actually pretty good progress being made every day, inching us closer and closer to a fully stable and balanced version. I think by the time we hit the 1 month mark of the beta we'll prolly be ready to start a real round. Maybe I'm just being hopeful lol

A funny story about dev time getting squandered. I setup 2 test kingdoms for battle sims, and 6 or 7 wise guys thought they'd test their armies on the test kingdoms while I was in the middle of running sims. I guess they learned their lesson when I took the castles back they had won and sent them each a 100k-wizard powered fireball lol. I let them keep the land tho cuz fairs fair haha! But still, it was a good 20 minutes of lost time resetting the tests and dolling out lessons 🔥

Just a funny story. There we're far more time sinks that not funny 😩

Actually, I think that's kind of exactly what TheKeeper was hoping for with the request for bug submits at GitHub.

I'd be cool with making you a mod if you want to take up the tasks you mentioned and format those into bug reports on GitHub. Bridge the gap between players and git.

You just need to get through our 6 stage interview process 😘

Mk we talked and happy to give you a shot as the official Admin's Squire. It will be a big help if you can sift through bug reports/convos, test/qualify ones where possible, and submit them to GitHub. And your other ideas, report the suggestions/things we missed/gossip, lol

Right on, hope I can help. If I can't then fire me immediately, preferably with a 100k wizard fireball 😃
