April showers bring... a new DevStream and Producer's Letter! At a time when the whole world is focused on Covid-19 and its far reaching effects, online worlds have stepped in to serve a larger purpose, hosting healthy social gatherings and communications. We've always intended Pantheon to become a fun escape and a refuge for all, and we've made a lot of progress

@Roenick - April showers bring May followers. Is that how it goes? :p

Just another thing gone in the wind. Consistency isn't important, apparently.
What other examples do you have? Thinking of investing more but I'd be interested to know what you're seeing in terms of inconsistency.
Edit: Nvmd, saw your other post on the same topic. I imagine PA5 is coming as fast as it possibly can. I'd doubt they're just being lazy about it =) I love that they're taking their time to get things right. Hang in there bud!
I think by "regular patch notes" they meant annually. We had one newsletter with patch notes last Spring. If I'm not mistaken maybe one the year before that.
That's consistent. :-)
On a more positive note, if you're on the fence about investing more, they have been fulfilling long-standing pledge promises from as far back as 5 years ago. This train's running slow, but it's on the tracks and moving forward.
Everyone's got cabin fever these days and the level of discontent is greatly amplified in the forum. People need to focus more on developer activity and less on the sub-text. Devs are not doing the right things, focused in the wrong areas, communicating too little, communicating too much... Granted it's like watching paint dry, but who does that. Take your kids for a walk. Binge on Netflix. Wait for the next announcement and enjoy when it comes.
I'm not a fanboy, just not a negative person by nature. Find some positive way to contribute or wait and put your attention elsewhere. Nothing wrong with disappearing from the Pantheon forum for a few months. When I feel despair over Pantheon, I go play another game and realize how much I want VR to succeed.

So Um Alpha From home? Please? :P Thank you guys, stay safe!!!
I saw in the April news something about Naming an NPC if you have that as part of your pledge package. I can't find that in the pledge level page. What level do you have to be for that?

That is a retired pledge reward for some pledges prior to October 2015.
Artois said:Not that this pledge impacts me but for those that do get the NPC naming reward, will the fact that it was part of the naming pledge be commented somewhere in the NPC code so that future developers don't change it for any reason?Bloodwurst said:I saw in the April news something about Naming an NPC if you have that as part of your pledge package.
