Ok hola everyone! this thread is about a suggestion and a question to a devloper.
Why you do the games as you do em and still do them the same way!

They usually releases a game then patches fixes buggs and exploit nothing else.

then expansion comes! 2 new weapons 2 new maps! woaaa cool thats like nothing!

Why dont you do like they did in counter-strike back in the oldschool beta!

each month new version they added stuff weapons maps game mode maps the possiblity today is almost unlimited!


So lets say instead you do like this next expansion, or game you deliver! or maybe even do it free? becuse many ppl will buy the next expansion without any doubt then!

you update game with stuff as the game goes on.

2 months goes new CONTENT PATCH!

2 new weapons! famas and UMP 65!

3 new species for are you nuts mode!( 1 new boss)

1 new map wich is really hard!

1 new game mod KF_LMS_mapname

you are all 6 spread at 6 diffrent houses made to survive! longest survives wins. ofc you get balanced attacked by same waves etc.

and the houses are not just 1 room its a big house with 2 floors alot of doors ventsystem and windows. so its not just to camp and aim out 1 window. becuse everyone can do that :)

fixed buggs exploits bla bla bla.


Well why dont they do like this instead of releasing expansion, expansion expansion expansion.

First of i bet alot! would like to pay each month for a game that gets updated often wich brings alot of joy the fee dont need to be insane.

Just look at world of warcraft.... they sure get alot of profit out of it, + their updates patches are "slow" lazy as hell aswell.

Well this just an suggestion/advice guys spread your thoughts what do you guys think about this isnt this an great idea?

Pay 13 bucks for the game and pay then 10 bucks each month for more focused updates etc for the game.

Atleast this would keep life in the game longer, and also! we know making game is a job and keeping work like that deserves a little extra credit "money"

Well anyway spread your thoughts about this good ide

I think a more functional system would be something along the lines of purchasable "Expansion Packs". With games like WoW, the monthly fee covers charges associated with the servers handling millions of users playing simultaneously, as well as bug-fixes and minor updates. Mostly, it's the servers though.

KF instead has independent users running dedicated servers in order to host the game. Some people will even be renting servers to run KF, which will incur a monthly charge. Paying two separate companies to play a fun little game is not worth it to the large majority, especially if it's to play a game that does not necessarily have the mainstream attention a game like WoW certainly possesses.

Perhaps a single payment to purchase an expansion would be great, if it really does come down to something like that.

I for one would like to see Community Bonus Packs, akin to the UT series, in which the developers organize an official pack of updates based upon the best user-generated content.

eeem... did you compare a company like Blizzard (that obviously have more a than a 4 crew team) with Tripwire? please, think what you are saying. Tripwire will add new content, i dont know if they will charge for it, its not like you are paying u$s60 for this game (come on just u$s11), also cs was not made with the idea to make money, i was created for fun. In my opinion they should charge for what they create if they want to grow as a team/company, unless they add little stuff like new maps, creating new bosses its not that easy you know?:rolleyes:

I would hate having to pay more money for a game that I already paid for. Unless it's something like a story mode. Then that would make sense.

So what you 2 guys are saying you rather have a bull**** storyline to follow, Instead of having new content such as new gameplaymodes. Gameplay mode is like play vs eachother diffrent objectives etc etc if you dont know.

Adding diffrent maps more often and diffrent weapons.


Well? :) so if you want a storyline imo go play singleplayer games or read a book you are way of m8. multiplayergames are not made for stories they are made to play with/against and compete vs eachother.

Have you guys played any E-Sport game in high level? if so wich game and what team? becuse "console" freaks gets me on my nerves, that only wants storyline based singleplayer games.

AFAIK, the majority of content that will be made for this game is going to be user-generated. The TWI team did mention a few goodies, such as extra character skins and maps, however, the large majority of what you're describing can easily be left up to public effort with the included SDK.

While the major game-type is indeed Survival, this has not hindered the creation of story-driven maps such as The Hive.

If you want custom content, I'd advise you to dive into the SDK on Day 1 and start making things yourself. A lot of what you are saying can either be implemented as a Mutator/Mod or simply just a custom map. It doesn't have to be some official release, nor does it have to cost anything.

2 new weapons, especially ones that are just reskins that serve the same function of current weapons, is not worth my money.

KF has enough weapons. The only thing missing is a grenade launcher. Anything else would just be a reskin.

KF needs gameplay enhancements added.

i want that minigun/rocket launcher thingy arm from the patriarch as a mutator/unlockable weapon!!:D

Now THAT could prove interesting, be it released as a mutator or official update.

What if when you kill a certain specimen, if you have enough weight capacity for your player, you can pick up an item from them. Be it:

  • Patriarch's Mini-Gunning-Rocket-Launcher
  • Scrake's Chainsaw (would just be the standard chainsaw)
  • Gorefast's Arm-Sword-Thing
  • Bloat's Butcher Knife
Sorry, a little off-topic here...
