It's probably whatever project Wiz was slated to be head of before Stellaris's launch got him slotted in there instead. I remember him tweeting about that during stellaris dev. It's probable that Paradox is excerting more internal control in general. Wiz hasn't mentioned his dating sim for a while. Demiurge4 fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Nov 14, 2017 |

I imagine the reason we haven't heard about it in a while is because he got told off advertising it on the same twitter he uses to advertise for paradox games.

The project merged with At the Gates when Paradox started working with Schafer.

Or maybe it is what we here in the north call: "a djók", which is a strange thing where we say or do something comical and then do not beat it like a dead horse endlessly, as is the Anglo tradition

Remember that a while back PDX was going to try to make a Viking-style rpg and that got cancelled so it's entirely possible that it's not a known IP and one of their attempts to branch out that's gone. e: what the hell was I writing I meant Runemaster Alchenar fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Nov 14, 2017 |

Vikings was a great game back in the day, and I would love a spiritual successor (does this exist? I would love to be wrong here). Just make sure to get Michael Dorn to do the voices again

The canceled project was in fact "Spiritual Successor", which would have combined ck's ruler succession system with a Pokemon-style ghost hunting game where you try to capture the spirits of responsible, level headed people and then marry them, ensuring that your estate is in good hands when you pass from this realm.

I´ve actually sometimes wondered about Paradox doing a horse breeding game, because 1) people that like horses are insane about them 2) there was a lot of stuff around it and it would be a cool look into history and whatnot and 3) horses are neat

V for Vegas posted:That's really the big DLC gap that has been waiting to be addressed - I'm surprised it wasn't one of the first two. Agreed. There hasn't really been a clear direction for the upcoming DLC based on the Dev Diaries so far, just QoL fixes/some changes to game systems like Chain of Command, Decisions etc. I'm hoping this suggests a focus on improving the Asia-Pacific theatre edit: I really hope that's the case, because HoI4 needs a big ticket item to put up there. Otherwise it feels like they'll just be spinning their wheels. The Narrator fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Nov 15, 2017 |

Finally I can experience beating back the Japanese while the ai collapses and I lose an army in a country that disappeared in an instant. I'm legit excited and will probably buy this DLC day 1.

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/11/17/jon-shafer-leaves-paradox/quote:Jon Shafer, the lead designer of Firaxis’s Civilization V and his own strategy game At the Gates, is gone from strategy specialists Paradox only six months after joining. Paradox say neither that he ditched the company nor that they fired him, rather that they have all “decided to part ways due to creative differences.” How enigmatic! We didn’t even know what he was working on. Righto! e: Bah, beaten. I think one of these days I'm going to want to read a Jon Shafer autobiography. In a decade, maybe. What does his career in games look like through his eyes?

Maybe he kept going into meetings and saying stuff like "You know, I've noticed that EU4 ends in 1821, and HOI4 starts in 1936..."

In some paradox games the AI isn't absolutely braindead and can actually use the same military system the player uses to the same advantages, not always as competently and can be tricked and gamed, but you still feel like the AI understands the basics. This was probably a deal breaker for Shafer.

I was on the fence about investing in Paradox but this has decided me in favour. Not because I've got anything in particular against Jon Shafer but because it means the company is still decisive enough even post-listing to take on a well known developer and then part ways fast if it isn't working out.

Oh I meant where they're publically available, so that we all can learn from this. Of course, with failed projects people's reputations also get dragged in so I understand why it doesn't get published, I'm just bummed out about it.
