Future Plans

[alwaysdime]

I remember seeing Dec 2018 for Vietnam and I think East Front was slated for Dec 2018. I probably read that a year ago and I was just curious where do these stand as far as dates now? I am certain it won't be this month or in the near future.

Summer 2019 for Vietnam
Summer 2020 for East Front III

[Jason Petho]

The Road Ahead (Subject to change)

In an effort to provide a little transparency, here are our plans for the near future. As with all deadlines, they are not set in stone, but we are striving to meet these to the best of our abilities as we are a small team with no development budget.

CS Middle East 2.01 UPDATE -- Released March 2018

CS Vietnam 1.00 - Spring/Summer 2019

CS East Front III (1939 - 1941) 1.00 - Spring/Summer 2020

CS West Front II (1939 - 1941) 1.00 - Spring/Summer 2021

CS Pacific Front (1939 - 1941) 1.00 - Spring/Summer 2022

CS Cold War 1.00 - - Spring/Summer 2023

Each of these will be CORE games with DLC's to follow.

[Jason Petho]

If I stop, then Vietnam will have to be postponed until 2025. [;)]

2025 = CS Great War (base module August to December 1914) ?

Featuring the following nations. Germany. Austro-Hungry, Russia, Serbia, Montenegro, France, Belgium and Great Brittan. Also terrain sets for Western Europe. Eastern Europe and the Balkans ?

To add also Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, India...
You just can't leave the Dardanelles out

[Hoplite1963]

No they have not been left out but for the 1st of DLC add on modules I think should follow the initial release to break the package into reasonable chunks in the way that is being done for the 3 WW2 main game. I will post my suggestions here over the next week or so.

The mobile operations in the West in 1914 would be interesting, e.g. Mons, Marne, etc. In the East it would be even more interesting. Tannenberg, Forgotten Battles in Galicia (k.u.k.), Serbian campaign 1915, Gorlice-Tarnów 1915, etc. But let's just focus on the current one. The CS team does its best to keep all channels to the gamers open; I am sure Jason will second me on that. Oh, and check out the Twitter channel, too, Ian.

Hello,

when will the patch 202 for Middle East be available (I'm mainly interested in the new AI scripts for each scenario) ?
Do you have a date for the Iran-Irak DLC too (a DLC which seems highly interesting about a subject rarely seen in computer wargames) ?

Best Regards (and Best Wishes for the new Year)

[Jason Petho]

First, Vietnam needs to be released this summer.

ME 2.02 will follow, I presume around Christmas.

Iran-Iraq DLC should follow that.

Hello, this all sounds verry interesting, can"t wait to see this mods.
For the waiting time a small offer.
I made Vietnam, Cold war , Gulf war and many others years ago as standalone mods for the old Game Peoples general.

But i must confess the graphic is verry outdated, but maybe it helps for the waiting time.
Its for free download here :

www.peoplesgeneral.de

To the moderator : If this post should be a problem please remove it.

When the games are out i"m maybe interested to help for scenariocreation

[Jason Petho]

We aren't creating mods, of course, we're creating full games.

[tevans]

Not to put too fine a line on things but you really aren't creating games. You're enhancing, changing and adding to what somebody else has already done. You can change some of the features. You can change some of the graphics too. But you aren't starting from scratch though. Tiller's CS series was available 20 years ago. That's not saying that you guys don't put a lot of work into what you do. But please be honest about it. What you're doing really amounts to no more than modding. You may have changed code, graphics and data but there was already something there to work with. That's just modding.

That's why I don't intend on buying any newer CS titles. I bought the Tiller CS series twice. Once from Talonsoft and once from Matrix. I'm not going to buy it again just because it's been modded to look new and different. No offense intended. You guys do seem like a talented team. Try coming up with a new and original idea for a game. This is not just a criticism towards you and your version of the CS series either. I feel the same way about TOAW and what's been done with it. Both series are being sold as new games when basically they're just old games that have been tweaked and modded. That doesn't make you developers. Just good modders.

[Jason Petho]

By that rationale, any car after the Model T is just built by good modders.

[Big Ivan]

I hear you Jason, so the XM-1 Abrams is just a heavily modded M4A1 Sherman, right?

I'll have to get my mind around that statement but I think there is a disconnect somewhere...[:D]

As one fan, I'm looking forward to the new developed JTCS titles hands down. Keep on developing!
