Tipps und Fragen zum Spiel » Neue Info aus dem Forum

My name is Marina and I'm Head of Product Operations at PopReach.

On behalf of PopReach, I would like to take a moment to thank each and everyone of you for playing and being loyal to the game, but most important to each other.

We are especially glad to see a positive feedback on Spelling Bee's tribute and words can't express how happy we are to see that she will continue to live in your villages!

Approaching the game's 10th Anniversary, we would like to give you an update on the roadmap as to where we would like to take this game.

As most of you know, the code base of the game is quite outdated and has lived through numerous transitions.

At PopReach we all strongly believe in the game and have big plans for it in 2021 and onwards!

Thus, we are investing resources into porting this game to a new engine that will allow us to:
solve all of the existing known issues in the game
make it run faster and smoother
give us an opportunity to implement new and fun mini-games, events, locations, and many more.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Thank you again for playing, for openly sharing your suggestions and not holding back your frustrations. It all means a lot to us. And we do listen.

Special thank you to Cupcake and skydiver118 - you are the bridge and a strong community voice for us - your huge help and dedication are truly valued!

Big thank you to all our beta testers who are spending their weekends to help us deliver the best experience possible with every update.

Endless gratefulness and eternal memory fly to Spelling Bee!

Yours truly,
PopReach Team

One issue that perpetually comes up (and rightfully so) is the persistence of legacy bugs in the game. I think, at one time or another, all of us have experienced something.
And I know there is frustration in these issues not being solved in a time span the players think they should be solved in. There are many mitigating factors involved. Customer support supporting a game that few, if any, of them had played before. The team being split across multiple time zones and countries. The loss of Spelling Bee (few realized that Miss Be was largely THE customer support team). And there is the elephant in the room of Covid 19 and the sheer craziness that has been 2020.
In addition to all this is the fact that the game is 10 years old. It’s using programming code that is out of date. There have been at least 4 different developers involved, each of which brought to the game their way of doing things.
There was also the new user interface and reorganization of the game menu/store.

Several weeks ago, Popreach posted the statement linked below on the forum. I think some of you have read it. What a lot of that statement boils down to is one very reason many of the legacy bugs are not currently addressed....or appear to not be addressed. This is because their efforts are on squashing the various bugs and issues in the new engine.
The hope is, when the game is moved to the new engine that many/most of the legacy bugs will not be making the trip to the new engine. There have been multiple discussions about legacy bugs. Popreach has reached out to some long time players to get their input about issues, and trust me, the list they got back was long and detailed.

Popreach is trying to solve the time loss bug and the corruption issue. What makes that issue so challenging is that it’s not systemic. Some players experience it a lot, other rarely. Whenever they find a fix they’ll push it out, regardless of whether the game is on the new engine or not.

So I invite you to read the announcement. If you have any specific questions please contact Popreach. While I cannot answer specifics, I can tell you that people are working on fixing things and players are not being ignored.

Danke Sky für die ausführliche Info.
Bin gespannt ob das alles so klappt, hört sich gut an.
Auch ein Danke an Enail
aber englisch kann nicht jeder

Ein ganz großes Dankeschön an dich, Enail, für die ausführlichen Informationen 😽💐

Wir hatten das Thema ja schon einmal, also mir macht das echt Angst, wenn die das Spiel auf eine neue Plattform stellen wollen.
Denen passieren schon jetzt so viele Fehler, was wird erst dann sein ?!?! 😱

Ich hatte jetzt gar nicht geschaut, aber das Gemüse im Dorf wurde wahrscheinlich auch nicht auf Winter umgestellt? Das wurde ja schon ewig nicht mehr an die Jahreszeiten angepasst.
Ich habe jetzt leider nicht geschaut wegen des Baumes, wird er überhaupt noch der Jahreszeit angepasst, der war glaube ich mal ein Wunder ?!
Aber wenn es schon bei so Kleinigkeiten hapert, dann will ich mir gar nicht vorstellen, wie das ist, wenn man alles neu macht 🤦🏼‍♀️😢

Danke für die vielen Infos von euch beiden und vor allem für die Übersetzung!☺️

Ich bin auch gespannt wie das wird und ob es auch so klappen wird wie sie es sich denken🥴
