NOMAD MONTHLY MAILBAG - MARCH 2022 EDITION
Hello everyone!
We’re three months into 2022, and we’re still feverishly working away on Catan for Xbox and PlayStation! Alongside that, we’ve released 4 shiny new Legendary Decks for Talisman: Digital Edition, ran an AMA over on r/Talisman and we’re working on a Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition update!
We’ve also just launched a survey following the release of the Legendary Decks, to get a better idea of what people want from Talisman: Digital Edition in the future. If you fill it in, not only will we think you’re really cool, but you’ll be actively helping make Talisman: Digital Edition a better game! Fill it in here.
But enough of what we’ve been up to, it’s time to do our usual questions!
From TheSteamPlayer
“l love your games all together, but l find extremely stupid that you can not put in-game saves to your looooooooooooong looooooong lasting games eg. the Fighting Fantasy legends.
They are very awesome looking, but l can't feel any fancy to sit at them for a day long at a stretch. PLEASE CREATE A SAVE OPPURTINITY in them. For me. :)) I really don't have fancy to start it again and again and again...!
So the good news is that all our Fighting Fantasy games have an autosave feature! If you close out of the game and relaunch it, the game will remember where you were up to in your adventure!
We appreciate that people don’t want to sit down for a long time when playing a game all the time (we still remember the days of playing PlayStation 1 games without a memory card) which is why all of our games that run for a long time offer some form of automatic saving.
From Tom
“Where are the physical releases for the console versions of Talisman? I want the PS4 one to put on my shelf.”
While we’d love to release physical versions of all of our games, the logistics involved with printing disks, getting cases, printing covers and manuals and then actually shipping the games everywhere they need to go is too much for a company of our size! There’s also a range of different approvals that each store front asks you to go through that is different to the approval process we’ve already got to grips with recently.
We know that there are companies that do limited print runs of games as special editions, which would be much more feasible for us. If there’s enough demand for a super shiny version of Talisman: Digital Edition on console, let us know and we’ll do some reaching out!
From MagicWizard
“Why do you make things like the Legendary Decks when you know people are more excited for expansions? I want something that actually changes the game and doesn’t just leave it feeling the same but a bit harder.
This is one of the reasons we’re doing our Legendary Deck feedback survey! We know that a lot of people have asked for new kinds of content for Talisman, but before we get started on something we need to make sure that there’s enough of a demand for it there in the first place!
So if you want to see new things, let us know!
From Patrick
“If Nomad are bringing Catan to just consoles and not PC, does that mean you’re getting out of the PC game business?
We most definitely are not! PC is where we’re most comfortable, where we’re most confident and where we know a lot of our fans are. As we’ve said above, there’s a whole lot of different steps that we need to go through to release games on console.
With Catan, we’re working with the lovely folk at Dovetail Games as our publisher, which means they’ll be helping out with all the technical stuff when it comes to submitting, approving and everything else related to store fronts. Without them, it’d be a daunting task for sure!
And that’s the end of this edition of the Nomad monthly mailbag! Thanks to everyone who sent in questions, and don’t forget to send your questions to questions@nomadgames.co.uk if you want us to answer your burning questions next month!
