Growing Pains
Work on the Royal Court expansion is progressing, and it's looking better each day that passes. Now, we want to be upfront and say that it's going to take longer than many of us expect for the expansion to be released. There are many reasons for this; the expansion is very technically challenging and we're doing things we've never done before from the ground up. We want a Royal Court that looks as grand as the mechanics that support it.
We've also had the recent organizational changes that affect how we work, as many of you know we've split into three studios - and with change comes a period of adaptation. The team has grown significantly in recent times. A lot of time has been spent onboarding new members to the team, and we've onboarded more people than we ever have before. While it may have a negative short-term impact, it's definitely going to be a solid investment for the future of CK3, not only for the release of Royal Court, but also our future expansions, and beyond. Of course the extended period of working from home makes things take longer than expected. This is something we have touched on before due to how the working conditions have been recently.
Rest assured that we're still working as hard as we can and things are progressing nicely, and are aiming for a release later this year. We will of course have more exciting details to share in upcoming dev diaries.
For now we’ll leave you with this little extra teaser:
成长的烦恼
王家宫廷dlc的工作正在进行,而且每天都有新的进展。现在,我们想直截了当地说,这个dlc的发布时间要比许多人预期的长。这有很多原因;扩展包在技术上是非常具有挑战性的,我们正在做我们以前从未做过的事情。我们想要搞一个看起来和支撑它的机制一样宏伟的王家宫廷。
我们最近的组织变化也影响了我们的工作方式,你们很多人都知道我们已经分成了三个工作室——随着变化而来的是一个适应期。最近一段时间,团队有了很大发展。很多时间都花在了新成员的入职培训上,我们入职的人数比以前多。虽然这可能会有短期的负面影响,但对于CK3的未来来说,这绝对会是一项高回报的投资,不仅是为了《王家宫廷》的发行,也是为了我们未来的dlc,甚至更多。当然,居家工作的时间延长使得事情比预期的要长。我们以前也谈到过最近的工作条件如何(这里是指放假开party——译者注)。
请放心,我们仍然在努力工作,事情进展顺利,目标是在今年晚些时候发布。当然,我们会在接下来的开发日记中分享更多令人兴奋的细节。
现在,我们将给你留下这个额外的小预告。
