Denied Transparency Fridays

[Vampuffin]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Makes it so that every Friday we get a small update on what the devs are working on, stuff like teasers, saying that they're working on bug fixes, new features (doesn't have to say what feature) , the works.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Helps with transparency, gonna show people that there's stuff getting worked on instead of the dreaded Soon(TM) that tells the community basically nothing. Gonna add more engagement for the devs and maybe increase rate of high quality suggestions to give the devs more of a feel of what they could add/change for the next big update according to the community. (Afghan comes to mind) Also helps with consistency if you have a set day to post.
Could have it formatted as [Update] for bigger stuff like new features/weapons etc and [Hotfix] for small patches that fix shit so people can tell at a glance what to expect.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Someone's gonna have to spend like 10 minutes writing and making sure nothing's leaked by accident.


Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Keeps engagement high, makes the community more assured that stuff is coming and what to expect instead of people being disappointed when a message in #Change-logs appears that fixes like 1-2 things.

Considering most content doesn't get created over night I would think a bi-weekly update would be good, posted to a channel in Discord similar to #change-logs would keep the community engaged and would allow developers to receive feedback surrounding particular content before it's added.

Personally I prefer to just harass the devs in dm's and berate them, but this could be easier as it has a wider reach.

Only problem will be that dev's will feel that they are being crushed by time limits or harassments. making them feel way to stressed out, although not a bad idea it just gives too much stress to the dev's.

Always tried to advocate more transparency before I left and it was never addressed. Hopefully this gets approved.

I'd say if the announcements are not concrete they'll have the liberty to take however much they need to do it so that can be avoided

Not that it takes anything away from this suggestion, but you can see what our development team is working on here:

MRP Development Tracker • civilnetworks

Public MRP Development Tracker -- this is not a roadmap and serves to show to the playerbase how MRP development is tracked and progressing.

github.com

Please bear in mind that some of our developers may be pre-occupied with other projects though.

The dev tracker is great, problem is that most people don't even look at it nor know about it's existence until a change log with the link pops up. Currently the dev tracker link we got in the change logs channel is broken since the name got changed to Civil Networks. Link also doesn't appear to be in the welcome channel.

Hi vampuffin, Your suggestion has been denied. The github and the changelogs provide a lot of transparency for what is being worked on and more is not necessary.​
