Predictions for next DLC
- Thread starter random goat
- Start date
LOVE animals myself...and was a bit disappointed with only getting 4 in the Arctic pack.
But, the scenery in the pack is absolutely amazing. And they even have some really wonderful scenery and blueprints in there for people who aren't so much into building things themselves. It's just mho, but the arctic blueprints are among the absolute best Frontier blueprints in the game.
From a production standpoint, it makes sense that Frontier combines the animals with other things in a pack. It has to do with how they can keep people on their team employed full time. Animals require more than just the art team, to do all of the animations, behaviours, etc., and there are quite a few of those to be done. Meanwhile you have the wonderful art folks out of things to do once they've done their part on the animals So...they get to work on all of the static set pieces while the other folks finish doing everything necessary to fully bring us the animals.
The other option would be to split out the scenery into a seperate DLC of scenery only, but I can see that this would just fragment the earning potential of the DLC; Scenery-only would likely not sell as well. So it ties back into keeping everyone on the team employed to combine them.
I completely respect your animals-only desire, but the above business realities mean we'll probably never see that.
