the toolset that the developers need to work with. That's as if you would order some company to build a house for you and the company would not even be done with the skeleton after THREE years.
The game was in development for over THREE years in total and PB was not even able to get their engine working during all that time. Kai Rosenkranz from PB himself confirmed last year that the release date was made in mutual agreement with JoWood after JoWood granted them an extension of the development time of over 12 months. I think we've been through this a million times already.
#KAI ROSENKRANZ GOTHIC 3 PATCH#
What's up with that? Since Jowood apparently does not pay PB for developing the patch to Gothic 3 which Jowood did force PB to rush out the door in an unfinished state. Since German PC Games (and a few other German news sites as well I believe) picked up this story now, we should hopefully get an answer from JoWood soon.Īpparently, PB is forced to pay for the development of the 1GB patch themselves. Since PB is under NDA, it seems rather safe to assume that these are very clear hints that the patch might have been cancelled.
#KAI ROSENKRANZ GOTHIC 3 MOD#
And that answers about the patch or mod kit can not be made since the "wheels of business" are in motion at this time. The first one was that he said that people should "not have any expectations" regarding the patch and then instead of providing any clarification on this rather disturbing statement (like if this was meant only in regard to certain features of the patch or in regards to the whole patch or whether the patch would come out at all etc) he posted even more disturbing stuff the next day like mentioning to people who still haven't played Gothic III yet (those waiting for the patch) that right now might be a good time to finally have a go at the game. Ralf from PB dropped two bombs this last week. (or more precisely, Jowodd has to give PB to go ahead to say something about the patch). And all I can see is Ralf telling people that PB can't say anything untill Jowood says something about the uberpatch. They were always talking about their "next project" but it is an open "secret" that the project is a Gothic III expansion. Yes, almost daily (in this thread () at WoG where Ralf and KaiRo from PB show up nearly every day to answer questions from the fans).
Were there any news about a Gothic III addon recently?
