From the looks of it, it definitely could of been completed by the end of the year. It's obviously very rough and unplayable, but the base mechanics and ideas are theoretically sound. I've been following this since it was leaked, since I frequent /gsg/.

I would essentially characterize them as expansion packs rather than full games in themselves, for all that they're stand-alone. Unambitious, with clear goals and only a moderate amount of effort needed that was within the scope of the available resources. In practice, they ended up with "kids in a candy store," with feature creep combining with unanticipated delays to highlight the key difference between modding, where it's a very ad-hoc, time-independent system, and professional game development, where release dates are actually important.īut I do agree that it is quite telling that the only three games that actually succeeded were basically "base game plus" versions. In principle, it's not a terrible notion. They've had significant successes in hiring individual employees from their modder community base (the most recent example I can think of is Wiz, from CK2 modding), so I suspect they just thought that setting up an entire development team would just be an extension on that.
I think the problem is that Paradox just underestimated the sheer amount of hate they would get for the projects that failed.

Eh, game designers have to start from somewhere, and modders at least know a bit about design, especially in the larger mods where they've essentially strapped the framework for another game over the top of the vanilla version.
