PTW only. -
Programmers are people too, and if they can't have a bit of fun in their jobs, we aren't going to end up with a fun game. So my advise still stands, lighten up!Originally posted by ALPHA WOLF 64
i thought i read once that a new unit took them a month to do. I also would rather have had a useful unit. As a professional programmer, I find easter eggs rather unprofessional. For a game with so many glaring defeciencies, any time wasted was too much.Comment

a) this would have been a month of ARTIST time, not programmer time and
b) Firaxis' professional artists can probably make units much faster than that. Just look at how many units are new in PTW (counting WW2, Japan, and dinos). 80+. I believe the expansion took less than 80 months to make...
I should hope it doesn't take a month to program a unit into the game... how long does it take one of us to add a unit with the editor (assuming we have the art)?
...and please don't tell me that artists can fix the code for MP. I've known a few artists and I know they are not capable of that (in most cases).Comment

If Elvis just replaced the graphics of an existing unit but did the same job then it couldn't possibly have taken a whole month. Couple of days at most.Don't eat the yellow snow.Comment

hi ,Originally posted by cyclotron7
Yes, I'm sure they sat down and said "let's allocate resources away from game development and into more elvis units."
The amount of time that took to make was negligible.
that amount of time is not just one minute or so , .....
the time could and should have been used for something else , .....

indeed its funny to discover a couple easter egg's , but huh , it would have been better to implement an other type of surprise or so , ......

panang, as has been said by another, artists are not programmers. Making all the units stick figures would still not increase the time allocated to programming the game.Lime roots and treachery!
