A Visit from The McQuaid



Ten Ton's own John "Boomjack" Hoskin was visited by three spirits on
Christmas eve.... No, wait--wrong story. Wrong season, even. Boomjack's href="http://loading.blogs.tentonhammer.com"> Loading...
blog, which recently contained his first impressions of
Vanguard,  received a comment from none other than Sigil CEO
and Vanguard executive producer Brad McQuaid. Here's what McQuaid had
to say:

Thanks for the review. I think it was mostly
fair and
objective. I do know that we made a lot of fixes and added a lot of
polish during that last phase of beta and only humbly ask that previews
and reviews are based on the released game and not early or mid beta.
That said, yes, I wish we had more time for polish, but as I have said
previously, financial realities are what they are. For me, personally
and professinally, releasing Vanguard is so much more a beginning than
an end. What we will do to the game, in addition to better polish,
performance, etc., is what makes me excited. The game has SO much
potential and pre-planning to it. We’re going to take player
housing
and evolve it into player cities. We’re going to take sailing
a ship
into full ship to ship combat with cannons and such. We’re
gong to take
mounted travel and evolve it into mounted combat, etc. We have so many
plans. To those who are enjoying the game, I thank you. To those who
are waiting for even more, I promise you, it will come, both in terms
of new features, mechanics, better polish, UI, etc.

Regardless, I thank you all.
